Trufoam Pickleball Paddle 16mm Thermoforming Gen 4 Best

TruFoam Pickleball Paddle 16mm Thermoforming Gen 4 Racket is built for brands and programs that want a clear step forward from traditional polypropylene honeycomb technology. Instead of PP cells, the entire core of this paddle is a single piece of high-density TruFoam, engineered to deliver a uniquely soft, controlled feel without sacrificing rebound or “pop.”

Because the full core is foam, you are no longer constrained by honeycomb wall strength or cell size. The TruFoam system lets us precisely dial in feel, balance, sweet spot size and plow-through across the whole 16 mm profile. There is no break-in period and no risk of core crush, so your customers experience the same lively response from the first hit through hundreds of hours of play.

TruFoam Pickleball Paddle construction bonds the foam core to a rigid outer shell in a one-piece structure. This improves durability at the edges, keeps the face flat, and maintains performance far better than glued edge-guard assemblies—important for clubs, academies and retailers that see heavy weekly court use.

An extended 5.5″ handle gives modern players the extra reach and leverage they expect. Two-handed backhands feel natural, and the longer handle adds swing speed to overheads and drives without pushing the overall weight out of the ideal range. Actual grip sizes may vary up to 1/8″, giving you flexibility in overgrip and customization options.

The clean, perforated face shown in the images provides a minimalist canvas for private-label graphics or co-branding projects. You can specify colors, logos, weight windows and packaging to position this model as a flagship in your advanced or pro lineup.

If you are looking for a high-tech, foam-core alternative that clearly differentiates your range while giving players more touch, control and power, the TruFoam 16mm Gen 4 paddle is a compelling choice.
