Dark Matter

Step into the future of pickleball with our premium Raw Carbon paddle. Designed for superior control and enhanced by a permanent textured surface, this paddle provides maximum spin, ensuring your game is as sharp as your strategies. The unique crisp response lets you feel every contact with the ball, translating your skill into effective plays.

State-of-the-Art Production Techniques

Crafted using our advanced multi-stage cold and hot mold process technology, the Dark Matter represents the pinnacle of high-performance sports engineering. This meticulous process guarantees a paddle of unmatched quality and durability, tailored for competitive play.

Aerodynamically Optimized for Precision

The aerodynamically engineered flared design of the Dark Matter enhances your reach and improves aerodynamics across the court. The slightly flared shape not only boosts the sweet spot in the core hitting zone but also increases your ability to make precise shots under pressure.

700K Carbon Textured Surface

Experience the grip and spin like never before with our newly developed Premium Japanese Toray 700K carbon textured surface. This nano-engineered material offers phenomenal spin capabilities and a tactile feel, allowing for precise control and powerful strikes. The multiple interwoven layers provide added strength and a controlled pop to each play.

Carbon Fusion Edge Technology

Our Carbon Fusion Edge Technology redefines paddle robustness, durability, and responsiveness. A lightweight carbon seam fuses the top and bottom faces of the paddle, enhancing the structural integrity and amplifying the sweet spot. This technology ensures a consistently tight and crisp feel, enhancing your play with every shot.

Premium Honeycomb Polymer Core

The core of the Dark Matter is as formidable as it is innovative. The 16mm thick premium honeycomb polymer core is meticulously tested to optimize the power-to-control ratio, providing a robust foundation for dynamic and sustained performance.

3D Carbon Thermoformed Handle

Maximize your strength and on-court performance with our 3D carbon thermoformed handle. The carbon face and fusion edge technology extend the entire length of the handle, melding under intense heat and pressure to form a single, unified piece. This construction significantly reduces vibration for a comfortable, responsive playing experience. The elongated handle with a tapered neck is ideal for double backhand players, providing an enhanced sweet spot at the paddle neck.

Perfect Balance and Ergonomic Design

Our engineering and quality control team has painstakingly ensured that each Dark Matter paddle is perfectly weighted and balanced. The ergonomics of the paddle are finely tuned to support player comfort and control, making it an ideal choice for players at all levels.

Discover why the Dark Matter has been named the Paddle of the Year. Whether you're a competitive player aiming to dominate tournaments or a recreational enthusiast seeking to improve your game, this paddle delivers performance that can transform your pickleball experience.
