The Poach Icon Pickleball Paddle from Engage has a soft feel yet provides plenty of power and adds texture for spin shots. Its "Variable Release Technology" makes it possible to adjust speed on return shots. The poly core is black and helps players think of all their options. It boasts the max roughness on the face for better curved shots. The medium-grip and standard weight make it great for pros Brian Staub and Corrine Carr; Corrine even used it to win doubles gold at the US OPEN. It's an impressive combination of touch, power and grip. Actual grip sizes may vary up to 1/8".
