Layer 1 \u2014 PP Honeycomb Core
\nThe 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

\nActs 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.<\/p>\n
\nReinforces 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
\nHolds 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":"
