WHY GATORSTRIKE
Built to Hit Harder, Spin More, and Stay Stable
Every GatorStrike paddle is engineered around one idea: give you more of what wins points, with none of the harshness that wears your arm down.
More Spin
The grippy raw-carbon surface bites the ball so you can snap heavy topspin on drives and serves.
Raw carbon fiber faceMore Power
The 15mm core returns energy at contact for explosive put-aways without overswinging.
15mm performance coreMore Control
A balanced build and large sweet spot keep dinks and resets precise when points get tight.
Balanced 7.9-8.0 oz buildLess Vibration
A cleaner contact feel takes the sting out of hard shots so your arm stays fresh deep into matches.
Dampened core constructionMore Stable Contact
Off-center hits hold their line instead of twisting, so mishits still land where you aimed.
High-stability head shapeBuilt for Aggressive Play
Power, spin, and stability come together for players who attack the net and dictate the rally.
