PicklePro Junior Phoenix 13 mm USAP Certified Pickleball Paddle
Description
The PicklePro Junior Phoenix features an enlarged effective hitting area with a larger sweet spot that maintains ball direction across more contact points than typical paddles, making it easier to control for developing players. At 212g, the fiberglass face construction increases durability and flexibility compared to stiffer alternatives, making it perfect for beginners and intermediate players who need forgiving performance while building their skills. The fiberglass material absorbs impact shock while maintaining responsive ball contact, reducing arm fatigue during extended play sessions.
The Controlled Accuracy Surface features a gritty, sandy texture that increases friction between paddle and ball, improving ball control and enhancing spin generation. This textured CAS finish allows players to develop their shot-making skills with a consistent surface grip that responds predictably to brushing contact. The 13mm polypropylene honeycomb core creates consistent ball deflection whether strikes occur near edges or within the center sweet spot, reducing the dramatic ball direction changes that occur when contact happens away from center.
The orange "Junior" logo and white TPE edge guard with orange accent provide high visual contrast for tracking paddle orientation during play. USAP approval allows tournament use while the design specifications prioritize forgiveness and skill development over specialized performance characteristics, making it an ideal choice for players advancing their game.

Features of PicklePro Junior Phoenix Paddle
Extended Sweet Spot
The 212g weight distribution creates stability that prevents paddle twisting when contact occurs away from the geometric center. Off-center hits maintain reasonable ball direction instead of veering wildly, allowing players to stay in rallies when their contact point isn't perfect. This stability comes from mass placement that resists rotational forces during impact.
Consistent Surface Response
The fiberglass CAS finish provides uniform ball grip across the entire face area, eliminating dead zones where ball speed drops unexpectedly. Each contact point responds similarly to brush strokes, enabling spin generation from various hitting locations. The surface texture remains constant from edge to edge, removing the guesswork about where effective contact can occur.

Comfortable Contact Size
The 104mm circumference prevents hand cramping during extended rallies, while the 127mm length accommodates grip changes without losing paddle control. The black moisture-wicking surface maintains grip security when hands perspire during longer periods. The cushioning absorbs sting from mishits without deadening the solid feel needed for shot feedback.
Generous Hitting Dimensions
The 402mm x 189mm face provides a substantial contact area that reduces the precision required for clean hits. These proportions create multiple effective hitting zones rather than demanding pinpoint accuracy for successful shots. The size balances forgiveness with maneuverability, avoiding unwieldy paddle movement while maximizing usable surface area.
