Pickleball Paddle Composition
Traditionally, paddles have been made from relatively rigid, non-compressible material. That is the traditional concept of a paddle and that is why the game is not played with a stringed racquet. Paddles that produce a trampoline effect or an effect similar to a stringed racquet are specifically disallowed. Common materials used are wood (cheaper paddles)and carbon fiber. The carbon fiber paddles usually have a honeycomb core made from a wafer board or aluminum.
