Pickleball Paddle Sweet Spot Science

[@deakemarschall2992]

Glad to see some actual science/data being applied to paddle design. Nice work.

Thanks, D W. Much appreciated!

Put lead tape on the side edges of your paddle to increase the sweet spot. This works by decreasing the torque when the ball hits off center of the paddle.

looks like the sweet spot is closer to the handle. does this mean that shorter, wider paddles will have larger sweet spots?

[@playerspickleball8644]

I don't think that's a universal truth that we'd claim. Each paddle's sweet spot is a unique result of the shape, materials, and weight/mass distribution. However, it is safe to say that to some extent, the sweet spot will follow the overall shape of a paddle. A short, wide paddle is more likely to have a shorter, wider sweet spot, while an elongated, narrow paddle will probably have a longer, narrower sweet spot.

Am new to PB and just bought my first paddle. Paid a quarter the price of yours, but think I wasted my money and should have gone all the way to your paddle from the start.

Canceled my order of a Paddletek Bantam EX-L after I found these! I was sold on the company and the science, but it also matches my golf clubs…teal, Callaway Rogue, with Winn grips! How could I resist?

Be brave. Show us the sweet spot maps for other brands 😉

[@logical333]

Yes, pls show a few comparisons

Just bought my 2nd paddle from y'all

How about an updated video using the new Carbon paddles. A little thicker core for a little more touch pls.

[@logical333]

Carbon, not barron

Shorter Grip, larger paddle face. I have no use for a two handed back hand. For a Racquetball player

Bouncing ball and hitting a few -- "That's all great, that's totally worthwhile information". Translation: That's a bunch of worthless b.s.
