Pink or Light Blue: A 16mm T700 Carbon Paddle Built for Control

If you searched for a pink pickleball paddle, you probably want gear that looks sharp on court and still holds up in a real rally. This one does both. Under the eye-catching iridescent edge sits a genuine T700 carbon-fibre face over a 16mm polymer honeycomb core — a control-first build that rewards touch, placement and spin rather than brute force. It also comes in a light blue finish, so you can pick the look that suits you without changing how the paddle plays.

How this carbon fiber pickleball paddle plays

The 16mm core is the headline. Thicker than the 13–14mm paddles many beginners start with, it dampens contact so the ball sits on the face a fraction longer. In practice that means softer dinks, more forgiving resets and a wider, more predictable sweet spot. The raw T700 carbon surface is textured enough to grab the ball, so you can still add spin on serves, rolls and topspin dinks.

You give up a little raw power compared with a thin, pop-heavy paddle — that’s the honest trade-off. What you get back is a calmer, more controllable paddle that’s easier to keep in the court under pressure.

Who it’s for (and who it isn’t)

• Control and all-court players who live at the kitchen line and win points with placement, resets and patience.
• Improving beginners and intermediates who want a forgiving sweet spot while they build consistency.
• Doubles players who value touch and hand speed at the net over baseline power.

If you’re a hard-hitting singles player chasing maximum put-away power on every shot, a thinner power paddle may suit you better. For most recreational and club players, though, a 16mm carbon paddle is the easier, more consistent choice.

Pink or light blue — same paddle, two looks

Both colourways share the identical black carbon face, chevron graphic and T700 build. The Pink edition has an iridescent pink-to-blue edge guard with a lavender grip; the Light Blue edition pairs a cyan-to-lavender edge with a white grip. A bright edge also makes your paddle easy to spot in a shared bag on game day.

Keep it playing its best

Carbon paddles last longest with a little care: wipe the face down after play, keep it out of a hot car, and store it in a cover between sessions. A snug neoprene paddle cover protects the edge and face from scratches, and our paddle care guide walks through the rest.

Pink pickleball paddle FAQ

Is it real carbon fiber?

Yes — the hitting surface is a genuine T700 carbon-fibre face, not a printed or painted composite, which is what gives it its spin and durability.

What does the 16mm thickness change?

A 16mm core plays softer and more controlled than a thin paddle. You trade a little pop for more touch, a larger sweet spot and less shock through the arm on long sessions.

Does the pink version have a pink grip?

The Pink edition has an iridescent pink-to-blue edge with a lavender grip; the Light Blue edition has a cyan-to-lavender edge with a white grip. The black carbon face is the same on both.

Is it a good beginner paddle?

It’s a great step-up or first serious paddle: the forgiving sweet spot helps beginners, while the carbon face and control give intermediates room to grow.
