Materials & Construction: An EPP (Expanded Polypropylene) core combined with a square-perforated structure and an ETP (Expanded Thermoplastic Polyurethane) edge cushion layer.
Key Features / Strengths: A solid, dense feel with strong vibration dampening; the square perforations create controlled elasticity; the ETP edge layer helps expand the sweet spot.
Best For: Intermediate-to-advanced players seeking better overall feel rather than pure power or control alone.
Advantages Over Other Cores: A transitional step between the PP honeycomb family (Gen 3/4) and the premium foam core line (EPP+ETP 03, Full EPP) — the EPP material delivers a noticeably different feel from a honeycomb structure.
Select the elements you want to customize
Layer 1 — EPP Core
Absorbs the main impact force on ball contact, delivering a solid, dense, stable feel and dampening vibration better than a traditional honeycomb core — this layer largely determines the paddle’s overall bounce and feel.
Layer 2 — Square Perforations in the Mid-Core
Reduces core mass, creates controlled elasticity, helps distribute force more evenly on contact, supports a softer feel, and expands the effective hitting area on the face.
Layer 3 — ETP Layer
Acts as an edge cushion, improving edge stability, reducing power loss on off-center hits, helping to expand the sweet spot, and giving the face a smoother, softer feel on contact.
Layer 4 — Edge Foam (High-Density EVA Foam)
Fills the space around the rim, increasing stability and giving the paddle a more solid feel, expanding the sweet spot, reducing vibration and hollowness, and improving overall structural durability.
