Variable 01 · Spin rate
Spin
Textured raw carbon
The textured carbon surface holds the ball a fraction longer at contact, so you put more rotation on it. Drops dip faster, serves turn harder — and the bite lasts a full season.
The physics of a
better paddle.
STRYKX paddles aren't built to feel nice in the shop. They're engineered around the three things that decide points at competitive level — spin, control, and what happens off-centre.
Three variables.
Every one measured.
Spin, dwell time and off-centre forgiveness decide points at this level. We engineer each one directly — nothing on the paddle is left to feel.
Variable 02 · Dwell & control
Control
16mm polypropylene
A thicker core softens the ball at contact, so a fast shot comes off slow and low instead of sitting up to be attacked — while soaking up the shock of hundreds of hits a session.
Variable 03 · Sweet-spot area
Stability
Expanded stable zone
The area that hits well reaches closer to the edges. Catch it late or off-centre and it still travels where you aimed — fewer mistakes on exactly the shots that lose you points.
The same shot,
on two paddles.
Three shots against a standard paddle — spin, control, then a ball caught off the edge. Watch what the STRYKX build does that the other can't.

T700 raw carbon,
built for spin
T700 raw carbon fibre delivers exceptional durability and raw power, with maximum spin off every contact. The sealed grit pattern is tournament-legal and holds its bite far longer than a painted finish.

How the numbers land
Both paddles share the 16 mm core and raw-carbon face. What changes is the geometry — and that decides who each one is for.
