You want plush control, big spin, and a dose of power on the bigger swings? This X Series Shapeshifter improves on the already classic paddle, and now it's in our original EX Elongated shape!

Just like the classic Shapeshifter, this elite paddle features the unique 3D 18K cubic carbon fiber surface on a unibody mold with foam edges to maximize the sweet spot. The Shapeshifter will wow with its top tier spin in all directions due to the flexibility of the wide triaxial weave, amaze with its stability and control because of the super strong 18K carbon fiber tows, and give a power boost for full swing finishes and ground strokes.

There are multiple layers on each side of the polypropylene core to create a unique blend of soft, but poppy touch.  The top surface layer is that breakthrough ultra-durable, yet flexible 3D 18K cubic carbon fiber in a stunning triaxial weave shape (Toray brand). It's that stable, yet flexible 18K surface that increases the dwell time the ball spends on the paddle before it exits. The second layer is Toray brand T700 carbon fiber. The bottom layer touching the polypropylene core is flexible fiberglass, acting as the strong backstop rebound to bring a dose of power to your full swings and overhead finishes.

What does this all mean?

  • Plush touch for dinks, resets and the soft game
  • Intuitive ball placement with increased dwell time
  • Reduction in unwanted pop ups
  • Power boost on full swings

What are the X Series improvements?

  • Denser foam perimeter
  • Stronger fiberglass response
    • (Fiberglass is bottom layer)
  • Reinforced carbon fiber second layer
  • Better handle
    • More ergonomic octagon
    • Firm construction

Also, you get a free paddle cover with your purchase, a $12.99 value!

Really liking this paddle!

I’m really enjoying this paddle—it’s made a noticeable difference in my game. The lightweight design gives me better control at the net, and I’ve found it much easier to volley with accuracy and confidence. It feels well-balanced in my hand and has definitely helped elevate my overall performance.

Best Paddle I've Played With!

This is truly an all-around fantastic paddle! It has a ton of control and at the same time you are able to generate a good amount of power with big swings.
It does take a couple of games to get used to the feel of the Chorus Shapeshifter.
I'm a 3.75 player and I have previously used the Vatic pro prism and the Double Black Diamond Control Infinity. The Chorus shapeshifter is better than both of those paddles.
I have played with both the EX and the HX - both great (and quite similar). I personally like the EX better for the extra reach. However, if you are willing to sacrifice a slight bit of reach for forgiveness, pick the HX.
Also, Matt, one of Chorus' employees was very good at communicating with me when I had many questions about the HX vs EX. Also he was very nice - a big plus!
Get this paddle - you won't regret it!

Good paddle

The EX is a good paddle, just not as good as the 18k, I have not found (and believe me when I say I have tried) a better all round paddle than the 18k, it is great!!!

Great paddle control spin and pop. No real adjustment time felt familiar from the first serve. Improved hand battle speed.
