Shapeshifter HX - All-Court 18K Cubic Carbon Fiber - Hybrid

Do you like control and spin for every shot, AND power on full swings and finishes? Then see why paddle critics say the Shapeshifter is the sport's best blend of all three and "can do anything!"

Better yet, this is an X Series Shapeshifter that improves on the already classic original paddle!

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 more than satisfy with its ample finishing and ground stroke power.

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 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
