What type of pickleball paddle feels less harsh on the arm?

Players who are sensitive to harsh impact often prefer paddles with a more dampened feel, thicker cores, or comfort-focused core materials such as EVA or Supercritical Foam. HUDEF explains these choices as comfort and feel guidance, not medical advice.

What is a dual thermoformed pickleball paddle?

A dual thermoformed pickleball paddle uses heat and pressure to bond the paddle structure more completely. The goal is better structural stability, more consistent response, and a balanced feel between crisp control and comfortable flex.

T700 Raw Carbon Fiber: Spin, Touch, and Feedback

RAW CARBON FACE

HUDEF uses textured T700 raw carbon fiber faces to help the paddle grip the ball at contact, supporting spin access, touch shots, and more controlled placement.

In modern pickleball, the paddle face is where spin, touch, and feedback begin. As players move from flat contact into topspin drives, rolls, slices, drops, and resets, the surface texture needs to help the ball stay connected long enough for the player to shape the shot.

HUDEF Sport's T700 Raw Carbon Fiber face is designed for players who want a crisp, controlled surface with reliable spin access and cleaner feel at contact.

What is T700 Raw Carbon Fiber?

T700 is a high-strength carbon fiber grade used in performance composite applications. In a pickleball paddle face, the value is not only strength; it is the balance of light weight, stiffness, surface texture, and feedback.

Light, stiff support: A carbon face helps the paddle stay responsive without adding unnecessary weight, which matters for quick hands and repeat swings.
Raw surface texture: Unlike a purely painted feel, raw carbon surfaces can use a material-based texture that helps create a more consistent grip feel at contact.
Clearer feedback: A crisp face helps players feel where the ball landed, which is useful for resets, drops, rolls, and controlled drives.

Key Benefits of HUDEF T700 Carbon Faces

1. Spin Access Without Guesswork

The textured face helps the ball stay connected to the paddle slightly longer, making topspin drives, rolls, slices, and controlled placements easier to feel.

2. Material-Based Texture

Painted or sprayed grit can feel different as it wears. A raw carbon face gives players a more material-based texture, while thermoformed construction helps bond the face into the paddle structure.

3. Stability With The Core

The stiffness of a carbon face can help the paddle feel more stable at contact, especially when paired with a core and shape designed for a larger, more predictable sweet spot.
