A control paddle with optimal touch and feel, the adidas Essnova Carbon CTRL LD Pickleball Paddle brings added finesse to your game. This paddle features a low density polypropylene honeycomb core which delivers a soft feel that rebounds the ball at low intensity for ideal control on resets and blocking, while also feeling comfortable in the hand. Perimeter reinforcements around the paddle provide greater resistance to the high torsions the paddle is exposed to allowing for a stable feel and optimal consistency. Additionally, Spin Blade technology incorporates enhanced feel for the ability to put more spin on the ball even in the most demanding situations.
