The Babolat STRKR + is loaded with power and spin for the game's most aggressive players. Are you known for "always being on offense," hard drives, and hitting your opponents? The 13 mm thickness and elongated shape helps you generate extreme power and attack every shot. RPM Grit technology, with the maximum grit allowed by USA Pickleball, gives the STRKR + laser-like targeting as you drive hard from the baseline and kitchen lines. The combination of power, spin, and the extended 5.5 inch handle also makes the Babolat STRKR + pickleball paddle ideal for high-level singles play. We increased the twist weight +20% compared to the previous version, resulting in more stability and a larger sweet spot. Winner of 10+ Gold Medals, the Babolat STRKR + is the selected weapon of APP #1, Chris Haworth. Benefits MAXIMUM SPIN Spin to win. Topspin lets you hit harder with increased accuracy, drop 3rds at your opponents feet, and open up the court with angles. Backspin keeps the ball low, can be an effective reset, and makes the ball more difficult for your opponent to attack. RPM Grit technology features the maximum grit allowed by USA Pickleball, so you can generate heavy topspin and deadly slices from any place on the court. ULTIMATE POWER A powerful difference. The extended 5.5 inch handle, power-optimized sweet spot, and elongated paddle shape increase your swing leverage and paddle head speed, while the 13 mm thickness provides high energy rebound. The result? An extremely powerful paddle. Aggressive and attacking players will enjoy ripping clean winner drives from the baseline and finishing points with fast hands, smashes, and the occasional body bag.
