Layer 1 \u2014 PP Honeycomb Core<\/strong><\/p>\n

The primary core material found in most traditional pickleball paddles, reducing paddle weight, delivering stable bounce, and giving an easy-to-control feel \u2014 while remaining durable enough for repeated impact at a basic level.<\/p>\n

Layer 2 \u2014 EVA (16mm): Edge Reinforcement<\/strong><\/p>\n

Acts as a supportive ring and edge cushion, expanding the sweet spot, reducing power loss on off-center hits, and improving softness and stability around the paddle’s edge beyond the standard Gen 4.<\/p>\n

Layer 3 \u2014 Foam\/Throat Reinforcement<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reinforces the throat area, increasing rigidity as force transfers from the face to the handle, improving torsion resistance, and giving powerful or off-center shots more stability \u2014 for a more solid, unified throat feel.<\/p>\n

Layer 4 \u2014 Edge Foam<\/strong><\/p>\n

Holds the entire core together as a more unified structure, protects the core’s edge, increases structural strength and durability, and helps resist deformation at the rim.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Materials & Construction:<\/strong> Built on the Gen 4 foundation, with a thicker EVA layer combined with throat-reinforcement foam.<\/p>\n

Key Features \/ Strengths: <\/strong>Better edge stability than standard Gen 4, a more solid throat, while still retaining the power that defines the Gen 4 line.<\/p>\n

Best For:<\/strong> Intermediate-to-advanced players already familiar with Gen 4 who want more stability without changing their overall playing style.<\/p>\n

Advantages Over Other Cores<\/strong>: Keeps the power of the original Gen 4 while addressing its edge-stability weak point \u2014 a balanced “light upgrade” option without investing in a premium core.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2529,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[39],"product_cat":[54],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-2533","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_brand-loi-tam-trung","product_cat-mid-range-core","first","instock","shipping-taxable","product-type-simple"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.nhanhmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/2533","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.nhanhmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.nhanhmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.nhanhmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2533"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.nhanhmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2529"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.nhanhmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2533"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.nhanhmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=2533"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.nhanhmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=2533"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.nhanhmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=2533"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
