For players who want the best of both worlds—power and precision, reach and forgiveness—the Engage Pursuit Pro1 Hybrid 12.7mm Pickleball Paddle delivers a true middle-ground feel. Its hybrid shape blends the reach of an elongated paddle with the width of a traditional design, making it easy for us to get to tough balls without sacrificing hand speed. The 12.7mm MachPro Polymer core packs the punch we need for putaways, while Vortex Barrier Edge Technology softens the feel, expands the sweet spot, and helps us stay in control through chaotic hands battles.
Paired with the core is a 7 3/4" wide Raw Toray T700 Carbon Fiber face—Engage’s proven surface material that grabs the ball to generate spin and keeps the feel impressively soft on contact. The carbon’s natural grit helps us shape the ball, whether we’re rolling topspin from the baseline or slicing a sharp cross-court dink. The 8.0 oz average weight gives us stability without slowing down our reload, while the slightly longer 5 3/8" handle adds control for flicks, rolls, and even two-handed backhands. For all-around players who like to mix it up, the Pursuit Pro1 Hybrid 12.7mm is a powerful yet versatile partner on the court.
