GEN 4 Carbon Fiber Power Pickleball Paddle | Rallyn

Delivers confident, stable power with controlled energy transfer on every full swing.

Product Description

The Rallyn GEN 4 Carbon Fiber Power Pickleball Paddle is built for players who prefer to finish points with authority while maintaining control over placement. The Toray T700 Carbon Fiber face provides a firm, responsive surface that transfers energy efficiently from swing to ball. Paired with a PP Honeycomb core, the result is a stable strike that feels solid under pressure. Available in 13mm for a faster, sharper response or 16mm for added stability on full swings, this paddle delivers structured, repeatable power through long sessions and competitive play.

Key Benefits

• Toray T700 Carbon Fiber face provides direct, efficient energy transfer for confident shot execution
• PP Honeycomb core balances power output with structural stability through impact
• Optimised weight distribution supports smooth swing acceleration and controlled follow-through
• Extended sweet spot maintains consistent response even on slightly off-centre contact
• Reinforced frame structure reduces energy loss, keeping power predictable and repeatable

13mm vs 16mm: Which to Choose

Both thickness options stay firmly within the power category. The difference is in how the paddle responds at the moment of contact.

The 13mm variant produces a quicker rebound off the face, faster hand speed at the net, and a sharper, more immediate response. It suits players who favour fast exchanges and want the paddle to react quickly.

The 16mm variant adds noticeable stability through contact, slightly increased dampening, and a more controlled feel on full swings. It suits players who want consistent power with more forgiveness on less-than-perfect contacts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the 13mm and 16mm Power paddle?

The 13mm provides quicker rebound and a faster, sharper response. It is better suited to players who favour quick net exchanges and want immediate feedback from the paddle. The 16mm offers more stability through contact and slightly increased dampening, making it better suited to players who prioritise consistent power on full swings from the baseline. Both options remain firmly within the power category.

Which thickness should I choose?

Choose 13mm if fast exchanges, quick hand speed at the net, and a lively reactive feel are central to your game. Choose 16mm if you want added stability and a more controlled feel on full swings, particularly from mid-court and the baseline. If you are unsure, the 16mm is the more forgiving choice.

What does Toray T700 Carbon Fiber provide?

Toray T700 is a high-grade carbon fiber used in performance sports equipment for its stiffness and tensile strength. In a paddle face, it provides a firm, consistent surface that transfers energy directly from your swing into the ball rather than absorbing it. This produces reliable, repeatable power on every full swing without the face flexing or giving under force.

Is this paddle hard to control?

The Power Paddle is engineered for controlled power, delivering stable energy transfer rather than unpredictable rebound. The PP Honeycomb core and reinforced frame structure work together to keep the response consistent and directionally accurate, even on harder swings. It rewards committed technique rather than penalising it.

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

The Power paddle uses a Toray T700 Carbon Fiber face designed to transfer energy directly through the stroke for decisive drives. The Control paddle uses a Kevlar face designed to absorb impact and produce a softer, more forgiving feel. Both use PP Honeycomb cores but the face material fundamentally changes the character of every shot.
