Version · 5 optionsBlaze Tour 16mmChange

An elongated, thermoformed control pickleball paddle for all-court play, with a Raw Performance raw carbon face and a 16 mm honeycomb polypropylene core. The foam on the edge gives stability and enlarges the sweet spot. The rigid carbon keeps the ball on the face, which helps avoid high balls. It measures 16.5 in by 7.5 in, has a 5.6 in handle and weighs 8.1 oz on average (range of 7.9 to 8.3 oz).

How the RR Score was calculated

CriterionWeightScore
Specs65%72
Approval from players35%65

The RR Score is not yet a precise figure. It summarizes the data we have today (specs and reviews) and changes as more information comes in. A low score does not mean the racquet is bad and does not reflect its technical quality: often it is just missing data or reviews. The specs combine several sources and may have discrepancies: check the manufacturer's website and the store where you buy.
