A1T-18-50R 'Classic' Paddleball Paddle

The A1T-18-50R paddle features a completely new re-design of our “classic” mold.It boasts our newly engineered symmetrical handle, carefully designed for optimal performance. It was specifically designed to be a bit small accommodating a smaller hand but can easily be customized using grip tape for those who prefer a larger handle. The slightly rectangular unique handle shape allows a player to instinctively orient the paddle with the face forward - purely by feel.The symmetrical ergonomic butt has a perfect taper with a smooth edge. The full 5.5” handle provides extra reach and improved leverage delivering more power with every swing. We’ve reduced the weight, improved the balance for a quicker smoother swing, and altered the unique double-hole pattern creating the largest sweet spot possible.The fusion of 3k Carbon Fiber with a Woven Fiberglass face material coupled with an 18 degree shock-absorbing EVA core gives this paddle exceptional power while maintaining maximum control.The paddle includes an easily accessible pin in the butt for attaching a tether string, if necessary. It’s perfect for either “small ball” or “big-blue”. Every A-1 paddle is crafted from premium materials, thoroughly tested for superior power, control and durability. Our new designs are fresh, bold and impactful, making a statement like never before!Face Material: Unique Proprietary Fusion of 50% 3K Carbon Fibre & 50% Woven Fiberglass EVA Core: Medium-Density / 18-20 Degree Hardness Face Texture: Medium Textured Grit Hole Pattern: Double Hole Pattern Border with Expanded Sweet Spot Weight: 315g / 11.11 oz.

• UNIBODY FRAME: Every A-1 paddle features an exceptionally strong carbon fiber frame. This high-performance material is known for its strength and lightweight properties. A-1 paddles are engineered with a continuous carbon fiber frame that runs seamlessly from the top of the paddle all the way through the handle. This integrated design enhances the paddle's stiffness, delivering increased responsiveness, power, and durability—ensuring more accurate, controlled shots.
• PADDLE FACE MATERIAL: 50/50 blend of 3K Carbon Fiber and Woven Fiberglass for enhanced toughness and slightly more attacking power.
• PADDLE-FACE TEXTURE & HOLE PATTERN: The A1T-18-50Rhas a medium-texture grit face, the preferred choice for players, which strikes the perfect balance—delivering ample traction for generating spin at all skill levels, while ensuring exceptional control and precision. A-1 is the innovator of the arched hole pattern, strategically placing holes along the sides of the paddle, enhancing swing speed and creating the largest, sweet spot available on any paddle.
• EVA CORE MATERIAL: EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) rubber is a premium choice for paddleball racket cores. A-1 uses two specific, advanced EVA densities to enhance performance. The 18-degree core, used on this model, offers a blend of softness, flexibility and rebound, maximizing attacking power, while the 15-degree core offers exceptional control while still providing solid striking power. Both cores feature shock-absorbing properties that minimize impact on your arm and wrist.
• HANDLE/BUTT DESIGN: This paddle features a proprietary handle and butt design focused on comfort and performance. The symmetrical butt and slightly rectangular handle provide a secure, comfortable grip for all hand sizes, designed smaller for smaller hands but customizable with grip tape for larger ones. Our paddles feature an ergonomically molded butt which blends seamlessly into the handle. Additionally, a pin is built into the butt which allows for a tether to easily be attached if desired.
