When we want stability and maneuverability for defense during hand battles but still want responsive pop to properly punish our opponents’ mistakes, we reach for the Engage Pursuit Pro1 Widebody Pickleball Paddle. The 8 1/8” wide Raw Toray T700 Carbon Fiber hitting surface not only earns this paddle its “widebody” tagline, but provides the dwell time, tac, and soft feel that we need to hit controlled resets, tricky drop shots, and precise dinks. Adding to this hitting surface’s smooth feel and working to protect it at the same time, is the vibration-dampening, force-distributing Uniform Guard Technology.
Backing up the prolific hitting surface on the 8.0-ounce Engage Pursuit Pro1 Widebody Pickleball Paddle is a 12.7mm MachPro Polymer core. This poppy core brings unparalleled power while maintaining dwell time for spin and control and is enhanced by a foam perimeter known as Vortex Barrier Edge Technology that adds an expanded sweet spot to this powerful mix of technologies. Finally, the 5 ¼-inch octagonal handle feels familiar to players with a tennis background, while keeping balancing reach, precision, and reload speed.
