Foam Core Series Model PP5
⭐ FOAM CORE SERIES — MODEL PP5
Premium Performance. Honest Engineering.
Featuring Ceramic Talon Fused Grit™ — Chemically Bonded for Long‑Lasting Spin
THE PP5 STORY
The Foam Core Series PP5 was engineered for players who want a paddle that feels smooth, solid, and controlled — without the hollow vibration of traditional honeycomb paddles. Built with the same advanced construction principles as our Limited Edition 250th Anniversary paddle, the PP5 delivers a refined playing experience rooted in engineering, not marketing.
Designed by a retired Fire Lieutenant/Paramedic, shaped by 16 years of pickleball experience, and informed by real‑player feedback as a Certified IPTPA Instructor, the PP5 reflects a mission to keep high‑quality equipment accessible to everyday players.
This paddle represents performance with integrity — premium materials, modern construction, and a price that respects the player.
MATERIALS & ENGINEERING
Ceramic Talon Fused Grit™ Surface (Patent Pending)
A proprietary surface technology that is chemically bonded into the crevasses around and between the carbon fibers, rather than sitting on top of the face where grit normally wears away.
-
This is a structural bond, not a surface coating
-
The ceramic grit becomes part of the carbon fiber itself
-
Far more resistant to degradation than sprayed‑on or painted grit
-
Delivers long‑lasting spin, ball bite, and consistency
This is the defining technology of the PP5 — engineered to last.
K60 3D 18K Carbon Fiber Face
A high‑strength, multi‑directional carbon weave engineered for consistent responsiveness, stability, and power.
-
18K tow bundles for structural strength
-
3D weave geometry for uniform ball contact
-
K60 grade for durability and long‑term performance
Full EPP Foam Core + EVA Perimeter Foam
A solid, vibration‑reducing interior surrounded by EVA stability foam.
-
Smooth, controlled feel
-
Reduced vibration
-
Edge‑to‑edge consistency
-
No hollow honeycomb sound or dead spots
This core design creates a uniquely comfortable and confidence‑building playing experience.
Thermoformed Unibody Construction
Heat‑molded and pressure‑sealed for structural strength.
-
Increased durability
-
Improved torsional stability
-
Enhanced power transfer
-
Stronger edge protection
CUSTOM EDGE GUARD OPTIONS
Choose from three patriotic edge guard colors:
-
Red Edge Guard
-
White Edge Guard
-
Blue Edge Guard
Each color option is paired with a matching throat ring for a clean, unified look.
These options allow players to personalize their paddle while maintaining the same premium construction and performance.

FOUNDER’S NOTE
“As a retired Fire Lieutenant/Paramedic and Certified IPTPA Instructor, I’ve spent years teaching players how to improve their game. I designed the PP5 to solve the problems I see most often — vibration, inconsistency, and overpriced equipment. Ceramic Talon Fused Grit™ is the breakthrough: it’s chemically bonded into the tiny crevasses between the carbon fibers, not laid on top. That means the texture doesn’t degrade the way traditional grit does. The PP5 delivers a smooth, controlled feel with modern engineering and honest pricing — now with red, white, and blue edge guards so players can choose the look that fits their style.”
— Bill Hilchey, Founder & Designer
