What Our Paddle Lab
Experts Say
The STRKR+ 13mm Gen 2 is built for players who want to dominate with offense (40.89 mph peak exit velocity) without sacrificing control or agility. Featuring a swing weight of 932.41 oz·in², a balance point of 8.28 inches, and a twist weight of 28.91 oz·in², this paddle delivers stability on off-center hits, a handle-heavy feel while having a heavier swing weight for increased power—perfect for sharp and aggressive play. With a consistency rating of 2.62, the STRKR+ Gen 2 offers a large room for error on shots you need to stretch to get, and will give repeatable play throughout the midline of the paddle. Its high spin rate of 1585.68 RPM allows players to aggressively manipulate the ball, pressure opponents, and craft tricky angles. The twist weight adds a blend of maneuverability and stability for defensive resets and counterattacks. Its above-average exit velocity fuels aggressive drives and finishing shots. This is one of the more balanced paddles, given our stats, providing a player with a blend of control and power potential! High spin rate, above average exit velocity, and a low standard deviation of consistency make this a preferred paddle for a large range of paddles, and there is no question why some of Babolat's top pros use it!

Description
Babolat STRKR+ Carbon Fiber Pickleball Paddle
Take control of every rally with the Babolat STRKR+! Designed for aggressive players, this blade-shaped paddle delivers precision, power, and maximum spin.
Paddle Benefits
The Babolat STRKR+ is built for players who demand fast, controlled swings with enhanced spin and responsiveness. Featuring a biaxial 3K woven carbon fiber face with RPM Max Grit, this paddle offers a rougher, longer-lasting surface that grabs the ball, maximizing spin potential and shot accuracy. Whether you’re slicing, dinking, or driving the ball, you’ll get consistent performance from the durable, high-friction face.
Its X5™ polypropylene honeycomb core, combined with SWC Pure Feel Technology, absorbs vibrations while increasing dwell time for superior touch and comfort. This makes the STRKR+ an ideal choice for players who want a soft yet controlled response on impact without sacrificing power.
With a long 5.5” handle and a thin 4” grip, this paddle is tailor-made for two-handed backhands and extra reach at the kitchen. The blade shape (16.7” length, 7.2” width) enhances aerodynamics, allowing for quick reactions at the net and smooth, controlled swings from the baseline. The 13mm core thickness ensures a balanced blend of touch and power, making this paddle a versatile weapon for competitive play.
Designed with uni-body (mono-molded) construction, the STRKR+ is built for long-lasting performance and durability. It’s USAP approved, ensuring it’s ready for tournament action right out of the box!
