"NIGHTSHADE CARBON 3K" lightweight (7.8 oz) carbon fiber pickleball paddle with 14 mm honeycomb core

Beautiful and dangerous like the toxic plant for which it’s named and designed, Nightshade Carbon’s wide body and elongated shapes come with 14 mm core and 5 in. handle. This carbon fiber 3k paddle lives on the lighter side of midweight (before grip customizations), increasing potential swing speed and reducing fatigue without eliminating opportunity for two handed backhand. And the 14 mm core makes for plenty of put-away power when the time is right. The handle is then finished with a PROLITE No Sweat Diamond Grip, a premium grip with best-in-class durability, comfort and moisture control.

3K Series: upgraded for more spin with carbon fiber 3k twill and “carbon cloth” friction technology. The series name is a nod to the premium carbon fiber but also as tribute to the flattie spider, the fastest spinning animal on the planet. The flattie spider is an ambush predator spinning to capture prey as fast as 3,000 (3k) degrees per second.

Diamond grips: 3K Series paddles are hand wrapped with the PROLITE No Sweat Diamond Grip, bringing unrivaled comfort, durability and moisture control to your paddle handle. The diamond punch out design with ultra-absorbent backing channels sweat away from palms for better traction and confidence even in hot and sweaty conditions.
