How it is built
Raw 3K carbon fiber face
Left raw and textured rather than painted, so the grip on the ball comes from the weave itself and does not wear off after a season.
19mm polypropylene core
A 6mm honeycomb cell, the thickest core we build. It absorbs pace instead of firing it back, which is what lets a drop land short.
Foam-injected walls
The perimeter is filled where most paddles leave a hollow cavity, widening the usable face and quieting the paddle on contact.
USA Pickleball approved
Cleared for sanctioned tournament play.

This is the Pro Series
A short look at what the paddle is, how it is built, and who it is for.
THE MATERIAL
The same carbon fiber supercars are built from
Raw 3K carbon fiber, left textured rather than painted. Light, stiff, and built to hold its bite on the ball long after a coated face has gone smooth.
THE PROBLEM
Control is where most paddles quit
Power is easy to build. A paddle that puts the ball exactly where you aimed it, shot after shot, is not.
01 You lose the ball off-center
Thin cores flex at the edges, so a shot half an inch from the middle dies on the face. Most missed dinks are the paddle, not you.
02 Drops sail long
A stiff, poppy face gives back more than you put in. Without a core that absorbs pace, the third shot drop is a coin flip.
03 The grip on the ball fades
Coated faces wear smooth within a season. Your spin goes with them, and you never notice the week it happened.
BUILT FOR CONTROL
Three numbers that decide where the ball lands
Control core
0mm
The thickest core we build. It absorbs pace instead of firing it back, which is what lets a drop land short and a dink stay down.
Honeycomb cell
0mm
A fine cell structure with foam-injected walls, so the usable face runs wide and off-center contact still comes off clean.
Face
3K carbon fiber
Raw and textured, not painted. High friction that holds the ball a fraction longer, which is where the accuracy comes from.

IN DETAIL
Built for the shots that decide games
Nothing here is decoration. Every part of the build is doing a job.
Raw 3K carbon fiberTHE FACE
A wide sweet spot you can miss and still get away with
Foam-injected walls fill the perimeter where most paddles leave a hollow cavity. The usable hitting area runs wider, so contact off the middle still comes off clean instead of dying on the face.
4.84 in handleTHE HANDLE
Long enough for two hands, tacky enough for game three
A cushioned, non-slip grip on a 4.84 inch handle with a 4.1 inch circumference. Room for a two-handed backhand and enough texture to hold on when it is ninety degrees on the court.

SIDE BY SIDE
What you actually need in a control paddle
Premium paddles are mostly built for power. The Pro is built for touch, and it is priced for the player who wants that and nothing they will not use.
| CPX PRO SERIES | PREMIUM PADDLES AT $250+ | |
|---|---|---|
| Control core | 19mm, built for touch | Often 14 to 16mm, tuned for power |
| Edge walls | Foam-injected | Varies by model |
| Face material | Raw 3K carbon fiber, stated | Carbon blends to raw carbon fiber |
| Sanctioned play | USA Pickleball approved | USA Pickleball approved |

THE PRICE
Everything it needs. Nothing it does not.
A fair question: why does a paddle this good cost a third of what the premium shelf charges?

We sell direct
No distributor, no pro shop, no retail markup. The paddle goes from our Chicago warehouse to your door, and the margin that would have paid three middlemen stays out of the price.
Volume, not markup
More than 50,000 players have bought a CPX paddle. Ordering at that scale lowers our unit cost, and we would rather pass it on than pocket it.
Built for one job
The Pro does not carry the exotic materials or tuning systems our newer paddles do, because a control paddle does not need them. You are paying for the parts that make it accurate, and nothing else.
Comparison price reflects the typical range for premium paddles and is not tied to any single brand or model.

Feels good and play great!
Great paddle, good price
Great weight and nice grip. The surface really responds to slices and topspin.
Love the CPX paddles and love the CPX customer experience!
I love CPX. Exceptional products and exceptional customer experience.
Wow
Great paddle
So much better, more control when hitting!
Very well balance and offers the ability to add some spendable
Durable, light, and good quality. My friends noticed about it and complemented that it is nice paddle.
Started pickleball 5 weeks ago because my grandson was into it. Because of tendinitis I have taught myself to play left handed. The unique slot allows me to switch hands on the run to reach balls to my right. Somehow my hand ends up gripping the slot and I find that I can hit quite well that way. My game still not very good compared to the veterans but my switch hand shots usually generate a ‘wow’ from them.
My first paddle chipped and I had only used it twice. I called customer service and I sent some pictures and they replaced it. The new one is working great. I will buy again. It is a great and honest company.
Amazing paddles.
Customer service was awesome. I bought a new Pro paddle on a BOGO offer. I only recieved one, but they were quick to send out the second paddle. I love my paddle and now my wife is getting to love here as well.
So far I love it. Great quality for the price. Very lightweight feeling. Quick but controlled reactions. Like the grip and carbon fibre. Satisfied with my purchase.
My game has changed for the better with the CPX paddle. Its lite weight which has increase my reaction to the ball.
Have been using my new CPX Pro and I'm loving it. I am getting more control, better dinks, and improving on my firm shots. I love it when a plan comes together!!
great racket! nice quality grip and very light and balanced. Definitely improved my game
Great Paddle!!!
I've been using my new paddle for about a week and am very happy with it. I like the grip and the overall weight suits me. Some say my playing has improved but that may be wishful thinking on my part. Bottom line is that I'm very satisfied.
There seemed to a problem with the carbon surface. I notified CPX , they listened and I had a replacement within a week. Love the paddle, size, weight surface and handle. Still in the mid 3.5 range but moving up!
Lightweight yet thicker than my original paddle. Solid hitter surface makes for more spin. I wrapped handle to gain more thickness.
Lost power but much better control
Bought two on the two for one sale, A guy I was playing said , holy smokes that paddle has changed your game! ( and it has) he tried it and ordered one the next day! It’s a game changer!!!
Quick and easy service!
Great paddle. Love the feel. Love the reaction of the ball. Great service, you guys. All the best. Fast shipping
Excellent grip and surface!!!! 2nd one
Great racquet.
Great paddle
Love the paddle. Great feel, weight and spin.
Best quality and customer service ever!
Great experience I love my paddle , I just start playing and it has been amazing !!
The CPX Pro was beginning to have dead spots on the perimeter at 11 months with a year warranty. I made a video using my phone to document the defect, that is, lack of bounce on the perimeter. Sent in the video and CPX sent me a new paddle! Loving it. Thank you CPX!
I love the CPX Pro Diamond, I love how light it is and the control of the paddle is unbelievable. The girls were trying the paddle and they all agreed how good the control and the feel of the paddle. Once their paddles are worn out, they will order one for sure.
Great paddle. Definitely improved my playing.
Let be the paddle
Great product and sales process...
Great paddle, my wife love it. Thanks.
Warranty replacement, whole experience handled well. Love the paddle and I know we’ve sold at least 8 or 10 others cpx paddles.

QUESTIONS
Before you buy
Why does it cost less than premium paddles?
Three reasons. We sell direct from our Chicago warehouse with no distributor or pro shop markup. We order at the volume of a brand with more than 50,000 customers. And the Pro is built to do one job well rather than carry every material and tuning system we make. Our Ultra and Hyper+ cost more because they are doing more.
What makes it a control paddle?
A 19mm polypropylene honeycomb core with a 6mm cell, plus foam-injected walls. The thick core absorbs pace rather than firing it back, and the filled perimeter widens the usable face so off-center contact still comes off clean.
What comes in the box?
The paddle with the grip pre-installed, a neoprene paddle cover, edge guard tape fitted at the factory, and a CPX keychain. All included, nothing to add at checkout.
How is this different from the Air, Max, Ultra, or Hyper+?
The Pro is our 19mm control paddle. The Air is lighter and quicker at the net. The Max is a thermoformed 14mm build with more power. The Ultra uses an aramid face with a textured finish and is PBCoR 43 certified. The Hyper+ is our flagship, with the Hyperfoam X core. If you want touch and a forgiving face, the Pro is the one.
Is it right for my skill level?
Yes. It is forgiving enough for a 3.0 and precise enough that advanced players keep it in the bag.
How fast does it ship?
Same day from our Chicago warehouse. Most orders land in 1 to 2 business days.
