The Ion Pickleball paddle from Champion Sports is built with an 80% graphite/20% fiberglass hitting surface that provides optimal control and power. The Ion's midweight 8.11oz design delivers more power per ball strike making it an ideal paddle for intermediate and advanced pickleball players. The elongated 16.5" blade-style paddle and shorter 4.5" handle offer an unbeatable combination of extra reach, a larger sweet spot, and easy maneuverability so you can always pick your shot. The no-slip polyurethane grip on the handle provides increased maneuverability. The 6mm polypropylene core provides control on delicate drops and dinks.
