Gen 4 Pickleball Paddle Best Paddle with Honeycomb Foam

The Gen 4 Pickleball Paddle Propulsion TFP with Honeycomb Foam is the result of more than a year of engineering and on-court testing. It is built for brands and programs that want a clearly differentiated “next generation” paddle story, not just another cosmetic update.

At single-layer EPP full foam core that replaces the traditional honeycomb structure. This continuous foam body gives the paddle a more connected feel, longer dwell time and a stronger, more consistent rebound across the entire face. Players experience a noticeably larger sweet spot and a more explosive response, even when contact is off-center.

Inside the foam, internal air chambers form a sealed architecture. On impact, the chambers compress, build pressure and then release that stored energy back into the ball. The result is free power on drives and serves, with less effort from the player. This “propulsion” effect is what sets the Gen 4 pickleball paddle concept apart from standard cores.

The hitting surface uses three layers of T700 raw carbon fiber, optimized for spin. The textured carbon extends ball dwell time, allowing players to roll topspin, carve slices and control soft shots at the kitchen with the same paddle.

In the handle, a precision-molded polypropylene honeycomb grip core is bonded to the face through a carbon reinforcement layer. This improves torsional stability and transmits feedback cleanly into the hand, while keeping overall weight in the competitive range.

A high-impact edge guard and resin-sealed lay-up are tested to withstand more than 2,000 ball strikes before micro-fractures, significantly reducing warranty claims and after-sales cost for distributors and clubs.

For OEM/ODM customers, graphics, edge colors and grip options can be fully customized, giving you a flagship Gen 4 pickleball paddle with a compelling technology story and long service life for serious players.
