1. Exo Venator 14mm

The Exo Venator isn't just a paddle; it's a weapon for singles players who want to dominate the court. This paddle is built for those who desire a tool that delivers a seamless blend of raw power and nuanced control, making it easier to play with confidence, no matter your skill level. The paddle's elongated shape (16.55" long, 7.45" wide) gives you the extra reach you need to track down wide shots and the leverage to hit powerful, deep serves that can set the tone of the point.

At its core is Exo's proprietary Gen 3.5 V-Force Core technology, an innovative design that shatters the stereotype of a small sweet spot on power-focused paddles. This technology expands the sweet spot for a consistent, powerful response across the entire face. This means you can count on explosive drives and pinpoint dinks, even on off-center hits, all while minimizing harsh vibrations for a clean, connected feel.

The paddle's face is a high-performance T700 raw carbon fiber, providing an incredible amount of texture that grabs the ball for heavy topspin. This is a game-changer for singles players who want to hit aggressive, dipping forehands and slice their backhands to keep opponents off-balance and constantly on the move. With an average weight of 7.8 ounces and a 5.6" handle, the Venator provides a balanced, solid feel that's heavy enough to plow through shots for powerful serves and drives but remains maneuverable for quick resets and counter-punches. This paddle is a strategic masterpiece, engineered to help you win. It is USA Pickleball Approved and backed by a 1-Year Warranty.

2. JOOLA Perseus Pro IV 14mm

The JOOLA Perseus Pro IV 14mm is a top-tier paddle engineered for the highest level of competitive play. This paddle is all about delivering explosive power and control. It has a high-tech 14mm core that delivers a fast, responsive pop, making it a great option for players who like to drive the ball from the baseline and hit powerful passing shots. The paddle's elongated shape provides the extra reach necessary to cover the court effectively, a fundamental need in singles.

While many paddles are designed for maximum spin, the Perseus Pro IV focuses on pure power. This means a singles player's strategy must adapt. Instead of relying on topspin to dip the ball at an opponent's feet, a player can use the paddle's raw power to hit penetrating, flat serves and drives deep into the court. This forces weak, popped-up returns that a player can then attack at the net. The paddle's Hyper-Foam Edge Wall expands the sweet spot and provides a more stable feel on groundstrokes, which is key when you're hitting from the baseline under pressure.

3. Paddletek Bantam TKO-CX

The Paddletek Bantam TKO-CX is a fantastic option for singles players who want a balance of power, reach, and a surprising amount of control. Developed in collaboration with pro player Christian Alshon, this paddle features an extra-long 5.75-inch handle. This extended handle is a significant advantage in singles because it allows for a two-handed backhand, which provides more power and stability on returns and passing shots. This is a common and effective strategy for tennis players converting to pickleball.

The paddle's elongated shape and long handle give you the extra leverage and court coverage to run down balls and hit deep, penetrating shots from anywhere on the court. Its PT-700 unidirectional raw carbon fiber face also provides high-level spin potential, allowing you to create aggressive, topspin-heavy serves and passing shots that can force errors from your opponent. The TKO-CX’s aggressive feel is perfect for singles players who want to dictate the point with power and excellent court positioning.
