Wilson s Blaze 13 pickleball paddle is a great option for the player who wants turn-key performance, from an elongated design, along with additional core based power. And at an average weight of around 8.1 oz., and paired with a lively 13mm. Polypropylene Honeycomb Core the Blaze 13 delivers precisely that, and more! Its 16.5 in. length provides extra reach, and leverage (power), with the narrower 7.5 in. face width being ideal for rolling offensive, or defensive shots with topspin from any part of the court. Single piece construction affords top shelf vibration control, extra power, durability, and stability. On the precision front, and delivering excellent long-term spin potential is a Raw Carbon Fiber dominate hybrid / Fiberglass Surface; with just a slight energy return from the fiberglass base layer. Further complementing the Blaze 13 s utility and control, with room for the one or two-handed style, is a longer 5.5 in. handle, matched with a standard 4.25 in. grip diameter. Improving paddle comfort, and overall feel even more is a molded PU (poly urethane) insert placed inside, what are some of the highest quality grip pallets available, making the Blaze 13 a premium all-court paddle, for the intermediate to advanced level of player, minus the premium price.
