The NEW ALPHA PRO, Engage's Next GEN Power Thermoformed Paddle, has arrived! Built for explosive power, enhanced spin, and maximum dwell time, this paddle features our new Power Zone Technology — an innovative combination of materials and construction designed specifically for this paddle. The result: effortless power, extended ball contact, and an incredibly responsive feel. New Core, New Skin, More Power, More Spin – The ALPHA PRO. DrivePro Polymer Core: Our most advanced core yet, engineered for massive energy return and extended ball contact, giving you both explosive drives and precision control. Increased dwell time lets you load more spin and deliver more powerful shots with less effort. Raw Carbon Skin: A Raw Carbon Fiber surface that grips the ball longer for maximum spin potential and consistent placement — while still maintaining a crisp, powerful response. Reinforced Carbon Frame: A high-strength Carbon Frame that channels more energy back into the ball while also providing exceptional stability, durability, and uniform performance across the paddle face. Impact Edge Foam Barrier: An energy-enhancing foam barrier that also reduces vibration, creating a softer yet more forceful rebound for added comfort and shot depth. ResponsePro+ FOAM: Strategically placed foam between the Core and Impact Edge Foam Barrier for an extra power boost while maintaining a cushioned, controlled feel. Fusion Control Application Layer: A specialized layer positioned between the new carbon skin and the core, bonding them to act as a single, unified surface. This integration enhances power and spin by allowing energy to flow seamlessly from skin to core, delivering a more responsive feel and refined touch without sacrificing power. UNIBODY Design: A one-piece construction that locks the paddle together for maximum power transfer, stability, and protection from long-term wear.
