Encore EX Pickleball Paddle for Adults - USAPA Approved

The Encore EX, the latest offering from Engage Pickleball, is the 1/2 inch version of the top-selling Encore EX 6.0. Featuring a distinct design and enhanced capabilities, this paddle is engineered to provide players with an exceptional pickleball experience.

At the heart of the Encore EX is Engage's innovative 'Core & Skin Dimensioning' technology, which addresses a common issue with thicker-core paddles. Traditionally, as the core thickness increases, the power and size of the sweet spot tend to diminish. Engage has overcome this challenge by producing the only 'Thick Core' paddles that maintain a large sweet spot and the right amount of power to effectively put the ball away, all while maintaining full control, balance, and positioning.

The Encore EX is available in two different shapes, catering to the preferences of various players. The EX model, measuring 16" x 8" with a 5" length grip, represents the industry standard shape, offering a great balance between reach, power, and control. For those seeking more reach, power, and spin, the MX model, measuring 16.5" x 7.5" with a 5.75" length grip, is the ideal choice.

One of the key benefits of the Encore EX is its ability to provide players with the necessary power without compromising control. If you've found that you have to over-swing with the Encore 6.0 series or other thick-core paddles to put the ball away or get your serve/return deep, the Encore EX (and Encore MX) offers a solution. With the Encore EX, you can swing at a normal speed and ensure you stay in control, while still having the power to put the ball away or get that serve/return deeper.

Engage's commitment to innovation, creativity, and ingenuity is evident in the Encore EX. The paddle features a 'ControlPro' Polymer core with Vibration Control Technology, as well as a 'FiberTEK' skin for maximum forgiveness and spin. These cutting-edge components work in harmony to deliver an exceptional playing experience.

In terms of specifications, the Encore EX is available in two weight ranges: LITE (7.5 - 7.8 oz.) and Standard (7.9 - 8.3 oz.). The paddle measures 16" long x 8" wide, with a 5-inch grip length and a standard 4 1/4" grip circumference. The Encore EX is available in two vibrant colors: Blue and Purple.

Importantly, the Encore EX is USAPA listed and approved for tournament play, ensuring its compatibility with the highest levels of pickleball competition.

In conclusion, the Encore EX from Engage Pickleball represents a significant advancement in pickleball paddle technology. With its innovative design, enhanced capabilities, and player-centric features, the Encore EX is poised to become a game-changer in the world of pickleball.
