THE SHOGUN

A Deadly Weapon

The "Shogun" is our newest paddle to date. With a never-before-seen Carbon Fiber and Titanium weave face, this paddle is an experimental powerhouse.

We opted for an Elongated shape to accentuate the power and pop provided by the surface material. Don't be fooled, while it's more than capable of keeping up with the Filth in terms of power, it offers more control than its Raw Carbon Fiber counterpart.

Thermoformed. Unibody. EVA Foam Injected Edge-Walls. Extended paddle. It's got the trimmings you expect from a premium paddle in 2024.

The Filth

100% Pure Filth.

Our best selling paddle, the "FILTH" is a high-performance thermoformed pickleball paddle that has been carefully crafted with the same raw T-700 carbon fiber face that is found in the best power-focused paddles on the market. This paddle is also becoming quickly known one of the best pickleball paddles for spin on the market. No expense has been spared in the construction of this paddle, which features the perfect balance of durability, touch, and power. With this paddle, players can be even more aggressive on the courts, thanks to its injected foam that runs around the edges and down through the handle. This foam not only adds stability and eliminates vibration but also greatly expands the sweet spot, leading to improved shot consistency no matter where you hit the ball. Overall, the "FILTH" paddle is our top-of-the-line option for any serious pickleball player looking to improve their game.
