THE LEMON DROP
Same core. Louder finish.
The Hyper+ in a limited edition colorway. The patent pending HYPERFOAM™ X Core fills the body of the paddle, so every shot lands with confidence, and everyone at the kitchen knows exactly whose paddle did it.
THE PROBLEM
Dead spots are a core problem
Every paddle has a sweet spot. The question is how much of the face it actually covers, and what happens on every shot outside it.
01 The ball dies off-center
Hollow honeycomb cores go soft toward the edges. Catch the ball an inch from the middle and it comes off dead, and it reads as a mistake you made rather than the paddle.
02 Two identical swings, two different results
If the face is not consistent, neither is your feedback. You cannot correct a shot when the paddle is the variable you are not accounting for.
03 The bite fades before the season does
Painted faces wear smooth within months. The spin goes with them, and almost nobody notices the week it happened.
WHY IT PLAYS DIFFERENT
Three numbers that explain the whole drop
Sweet spot coverage
0%
The usable hitting area runs to the perimeter instead of collapsing at the edges, so off-center contact still comes off clean.
Dead spots
0 across the face
There is no hollow cavity to hit into. Every part of the face is doing the same job as the middle.
The run
1,000 paddles in the run
One limited production run in Lemon Drop, split between Elongated and Widebody, each with a matching leather case. When the allocation is claimed, the run is complete.

IN DETAIL
Everything here is doing a job
Nothing on this paddle is decoration. Here is what each part is actually for.
Patent pendingTHE CORE
Full foam thermoformed, not a honeycomb with foam in the walls
Most paddles fill the perimeter and leave the middle hollow. The HYPERFOAM™ X Core is a full foam thermoformed build that fills the body of the paddle, which is why the response at the edge of the face matches the response at the center.
Red-Line EdgeTHE EDGE
Red-Line Edge Technology, tuned at the perimeter
Mass placed deliberately around the edge widens the usable face and sets the balance point, absorbing impact energy without bulking up the low-profile geometry. It is the reason the paddle stays quick in the hand at 225 grams.

QUESTIONS
Before you pre-order
Is this the same paddle as the regular Hyper+?
Yes. Identical core, face, edge system, weight and certification. The Lemon Drop is a limited colorway of the Hyper+ with graphics and a case you cannot get on any other run. If you already know how the Hyper+ plays, you know how this plays.
How limited is limited?
One production run of 1,000 paddles across both shapes, each with its matching leather case. It is a limited run, and once this allocation is claimed the run is complete.
Should I get the Elongated or the Widebody?
Same HYPERFOAM X Core in both, same 16mm thickness. The Elongated is the original Hyper+ shape, longer face and 140mm handle, so it gives you more reach, more leverage on drives and the best fit for a two-handed backhand. The Widebody puts a wider face in front of your hand, which makes it quicker to square up in fast exchanges and the more forgiving of the two on off-center blocks.
Worth saying plainly: neither is a soft touch paddle. Owners consistently describe the Hyper+ as powerful, and several say they had to adjust their swing for it. If you are coming off a low-power control paddle, expect a break-in period with either shape.
When will my pre-order ship?
Both shapes ship in an estimated 3 to 4 weeks. Orders are fulfilled in the order they were received and ship from our warehouse in Chicago, Illinois with free priority shipping. You will get tracking the moment it leaves.
Why does the Lemon Drop cost more than the regular Hyper+ pre-order?
Because it is a limited run with its own leather case. The standard pre-order is our volume paddle. The Lemon Drop is one production run in one colorway with a case made for this release, and the run is capped at 1,000. If you just want the paddle and the colorway does not matter to you, the regular Hyper+ pre-order is the better buy and we will say that plainly.
Is it legal for tournament play?
Yes. The Hyper+ is USA Pickleball Approved and cleared for all sanctioned tournament play, and the Lemon Drop carries the same approval. The stamp is printed on the face of the paddle.
What comes in the box?
The paddle with the perforated grip pre-installed, the limited edition Lemon Drop leather carrying case worth $99, factory-fitted edge guard tape, and the lifetime warranty. Nothing to add at checkout.
What does the lifetime warranty actually cover?
Lifetime warranty is included with every pre-order, a $40 value on its own. If the paddle fails, we replace it free and cover shipping both ways. Not one year, not two. That sits on top of the 90-day money-back guarantee.
What if I do not like it?
Send it back within 90 days for a full refund. No restocking fee and no argument. That applies to limited colorways the same as anything else we sell.
90
Days, risk free
NO RISK
The colorway is limited. The coverage is not.
Take it to the court. If it is not the best paddle you have owned, send it back inside 90 days for a full refund. Keep it, and the lifetime warranty means we replace it free if it ever fails.
