You've outgrown the paddle you learned on.

You know the feeling. You're at the kitchen line, the ball comes in at pace, and your reset floats. Just high enough. And then it's over.

That isn't your hands. Six months in, your hands are fine. It's a paddle that was built to be easy, not to be good - one that rebounds the ball off the face before you've had a chance to do anything with it.

Vector is built the other way around. A 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core is noticeably thicker than the 14mm cores most starter paddles use, and that thickness does one specific thing: it increases dwell time - the fraction of a second the ball stays on your face. Longer dwell means you absorb pace instead of reflecting it. Your resets stay down. Your third-shot drops land in the kitchen instead of sitting up at chest height. Your dinks have shape.

The T700 carbon fibre face gives you the other half. Carbon grips the ball through the strike, so the topspin you're already trying to generate actually gets applied - heavier dinks, dipping drives, angles that stay in.

And the frame is elongated - 41.5cm long against a 19cm width. That extra length is leverage. More reach at the net, more head speed on drives, more paddle where you need it on a stretch volley.

A true midweight: enough mass to stay stable when the hands battle starts.

This is a control-first paddle. If what you want is maximum raw power, buy a 14mm and accept the trade. If you've worked out that pickleball above 3.0 is won in the soft game - this is your paddle.

Complete The Set

Still Fast In Game Three.

Hands battles are won by whoever's still sharp at the end of the session. With a polypropylene core that dampens shock rather than transmitting it, Vector stays stable through blocks and counters without loading up your forearm. Same hand speed on the last point as the first.

Your Reset Finally Stays Down.

The 16mm core gives you longer dwell time. The ball sits on the face a fraction longer before it leaves. That fraction is the difference between a reset that drops into the kitchen and one that floats up at chest height for a put-away. Absorb the pace instead of reflecting it.

Take The Kitchen. Keep It.

Above 3.0, points are decided in the soft game. A T700 carbon face that grips the ball, an elongated frame for reach, and a core built to hold rather than rebound -Vector is a paddle for the player who's worked out that patience beats power at the net.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, and specifically in the soft game. Most starter paddles use a 14mm or thinner core built for pop, which is why resets and third-shot drops tend to sit up. Vector's 16mm polypropylene core lengthens dwell time so you can absorb pace and place the ball, and the T700 carbon face lets you actually apply topspin. If you're winning drives but losing at the kitchen line, that's the gap this closes.

14mm rebounds faster and feels more explosive on drives and counters. 16mm holds the ball longer and gives you more control on dinks, drops and resets. Most players developing their third-shot drop and reset volley improve faster on 16mm. Vector is a 16mm paddle - it's a control-first build, and we'd rather tell you that up front than have you buy the wrong tool.

No. Vector is a cold-pressed T700 carbon face over a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core.
Thermoformed paddles with foam-injected walls generally hit harder and cost two to three times as much. What you're getting here is the control profile - dwell time, a grippy carbon face and an elongated frame - at a price that makes sense for a second paddle.

It's a midweight. Light enough to keep your hands quick in a firefight, heavy enough to stay stable when you're blocking pace rather than getting pushed around by it. If you're coming off a very light paddle, expect it to feel slightly more planted for the first session.

Elongated: 41.5cm long by 19cm wide. You get extra reach at the net and more leverage on drives. The trade-off with any elongated frame is a slightly narrower sweet spot than a wide-body, worth knowing if you're coming off a stock 40.6cm × 20.3cm starter paddle.

The handle is 130mm, which is on the shorter side. Committed two-handers usually prefer 140mm+. If a two-handed backhand is a core part of your game, this may feel cramped, and that's exactly what the 14-day guarantee is for.
