Description
Dunlop CR-5ive Carbon Fiber Pickleball Paddle
Unlock your full potential with the Dunlop CR-5ive, the flagship all-court model designed for "The Creator" player persona. This paddle is engineered for players who see openings others don't, utilizing vision, deception, and touch to turn defense into opportunity from anywhere on the court. Featuring an advanced Gen 3 mono-body construction, the CR-5ive utilizes a complex 3D geometric "oval" frame that is aerodynamically optimized for faster head speeds and responsive play.
Glove Benefits
The CR-5ive is powered by a Hybrid Foam Core, which expertly blends a polypropylene honeycomb core with power-generating foam-injected cells. This hybrid construction provides the explosive power needed for put-aways while maintaining the consistent control required for an all-court playing style. The edgeless frame design further enhances the aerodynamic profile, allowing players to move quickly and return impossible shots with ease.
For elite ball interaction, the paddle features a Spin Skin surface—a premium polyurethane coating fused over the intermediate modulus unidirectional carbon fiber face. This tactile texture enhances grip on the ball to generate long-lasting, reliable spin for all-court control. Integrated between the face and core is Flownetic Film, a toughened resin layer that improves feel and dwell time while strengthening the internal bond to resist delamination.
The seamless mono-body construction is complemented by an integral handle foam injection. This frequency-tuned foam is injected directly into the fused handle to dampen unwanted vibrations at impact, delivering a cleaner, more solid response. With its refined oval cross-section and professional Aqua Surge-inspired aesthetic, the CR-5ive is the ultimate tool for players who demand versatility and durability.
