The Ánimo is our top-of-the-line performance pickleball paddle featuring cutting-edge technology that balances power, spin, and control. The uni-body thermoformed design increases stability, energy return, and durability.  The Ánimo paddle features an elongated shape for extended reach and finesse at the kitchen. The foam-injected sidewalls increase edge strength and expand the sweet spot for a consistent feel across the entire paddle face. The Raw Japanese Toray carbon fiber surface provides maximum grit for exceptional spin. The 16mm single-cell polymer core features compressed 8mm honeycomb cells to reduce vibration and increase the time the ball dwells on the paddle leading to consistent resets and drops. This paddle is well-balanced and designed specifically for advanced players who demand a lot from their paddle.
