The Blade Elite mixes elements of the Blade Tour and Blade to create a user-friendly paddle with notable feel and responsiveness. Sporting a weight closer to the Blade Tour and a core similar to the Blade, this paddle delivers plenty of value for intermediate players who prefer consistency from point to point. Carbon Fiberglass Composite contributes lightweight feel and produces greater power than fiberglass paddles Soft EVA Foam generates excellent paddle responsiveness at a lighter weight for less arm fatigue Sharp Hole Technology uses an advanced hole-drilling process to grab the ball and enhance bite on all hits Sublime Grip encompasses ideal blend of softness, tack and comfort with additional moisture absorption through micro-perforations on its surface
