Widebody | Longer Handle & Wide Paddle Shape: The widebody shape features a longer handle for added reach and extra space for two-handed backhands. This shape enhances stability and delivers a more consistent, forgiving sweet spot — especially on off-center hits. Ideal for players seeking the largest sweet spot and a consistent feel and performance across the face.
Elongated | Longer Handle & Longest Paddle Shape: Give yourself a better chance on balls you have to reach for. The longer handle has ample room for two-handed backhands, while the elongated shape delivers greater plow-through and power on every shot.
Dynamic Fusion Core for Stability and Forgiveness.
A low-density EVA foam perimeter with composite edge reinforcements encapsulates the polypropylene honeycomb core, forming a fusion core. By distributing mass towards the edges, the ERA Power's construction increases the paddle's stability — resulting in a more forgiving sweet spot for off-center contact. This Dynamic Fusion Core is engineered to give you power on your attacks with a large sweet spot you can trust.
3-Layered Face for a Dynamic Blend of Power and Spin.
This face blends woven fiberglass and T700 Raw Carbon Fiber to enhance velocity and spin. This balances rigidity and flex that results in added power and durability needed for performance consistency.
Reinforced Edge Technology for Durability and Increased Sweet Spot.
Reinforced Edge Technology protects your paddle by increasing edge durability. It also avoids twisting, helping with the overall paddle stability while expanding the sweet spot.
Raw Spin Technology Surface for Enhanced Spin.
Our Raw Spin Technology is a raw, textured surface designed to enhance spin and improve ball control.
Octagonal Handle for Better Control.
The upgraded octagonal grip offers greater maneuverability and shot accuracy on the court.
