Version · 5 optionsVesper Strikefoam Control 17Change

A wide-shape pickleball paddle made for players who prioritize precision, consistency and feel, with a 17 mm StrikeFoam solid foam core and a raw carbon face. The response is controlled, with durability and touch, and the paddle absorbs the pace of the ball while keeping a clean connection. The wide shape enlarges the sweet spot, makes placement and resets under pressure easier, and the carbon texture increases contact time and spin.

How the RR Score was calculated

Criterion	Weight	Score
Specs	65%	68
Approval from players	35%	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.
