Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a Kevlar control paddle different from carbon?

Kevlar construction promotes vibration dampening and a softer, more measured response compared to firmer carbon surfaces. Where carbon transfers energy directly through the stroke for power and spin, Kevlar absorbs a portion of that energy at contact, producing a calmer, more forgiving feel that benefits placement-focused play.

Is this paddle forgiving on off-centre hits?

Yes. The 16mm PP Honeycomb core and Kevlar face work together to support a stable, forgiving feel across a large effective sweet spot. Off-centre contacts stay on target rather than spraying wide, which is central to the control intent of this paddle.

Is the Control paddle only available in 16mm?

Yes. This paddle is built exclusively in 16mm to preserve its control-focused design. The 16mm thickness is what delivers the increased stability, softer contact feedback, and greater forgiveness that define how this paddle plays. The Rallyn Power paddle is the only paddle in the range available in both 13mm and 16mm.

How does the Control paddle differ from the Rallyn Power paddle?

The Control paddle emphasises vibration dampening and precision through its Kevlar face and PP Honeycomb core. The Power paddle uses a Toray T700 Carbon Fiber face which prioritises faster rebound and stronger direct energy transfer. Both paddles use PP Honeycomb cores but the face material determines the character of each shot.

Is this paddle suitable for competitive play?

Yes. It is engineered for consistent, repeatable performance during extended sessions. Players who rely on placement, dink consistency, and rally management at a competitive level will find the predictability of this paddle a significant asset.

Does Rallyn deliver pickleball paddles within the UK?

Yes. All Rallyn paddles are fulfilled and shipped within the UK, direct from Rallyn. There is no third-party retailer involved. Delivery timelines are confirmed at checkout and on the shipping information page.
