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 HX Hybrid shape that maximizes sweet spot, stability, and hand speed!
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.

This is one of the best control paddles I have played with. I'm able to dink and drop very consistently. I would not consider this a poppy paddle although it does have a decent amount of power when you put forth the effort. If you are a banger, this is not the paddle for you.

Paddle has same shape profile as the one I was using. Gives the same amount of control. Bonus gives more pop! Very pleased with the purchase.

Going to be your favorite paddle
What else is there to say. Great control, power and pop when you need it. That is what pickleball is all about. If you’re a MLP pro, sure you want more power. Everyone else? This is your paddle.
