adidas ESSNOVA CARBON CTRL HD Pickleball Paddle

The adidas ESSNOVA paddles utilize a forgiving “Carbon 3K” face material and thicker-than-average 14.28mm (0.56″) thick poly honeycomb core, resulting in wonderful control and feel. This CARBON CTRL HD (meaning, “control, high-density) injects a small measure power, too, by using the same high-density core from adidas’ ADIPOWER series of paddles. This further translates to consistent ball response over nearly the entire paddle face. The result? A highly control-oriented paddle with enough power to get your ground strokes deep into your opponent’s side of the court.

The adidas ESSNOVA CTRL HD paddle also features “Spin Blade” technology for great ball movement on your cuts and slices, and carbon reinforcement in the frame for durability. It is a traditionally-shaped paddle and stays in the 7.7 to 8.2 oz. weight range like adidas’ other models. Consider this an all-court paddle for those who prioritize defense first, and put-away power second. Finally, the CTRL HD is offered with a small grip circumference of 4-1/8″ and a standard handle length of 4-3/4″.

The ESSNOVA CARBON CTRL HD Pickleball Paddle by adidas is designed for an intermediate-to-advanced player’s game.

Actual grip sizes may vary up to 1/8″.
