Description

Electrum Model E 16mm Carbon Fiber Pickleball Paddle

The Electrum Model E 16mm is one of the best pickleball paddles and the paddle choice of the games best players!

Paddle Benefits

The Electrum Model E 16mm is a fusion of the elongated shape and the raw carbon fiber texture that provides full-court coverage and feel, allowing for ultimate spin and control. The Model E is built from the same materials from the first-born Electrum Pro paddle, the Model E was made with premium Toray T700 carbon fiber, making the face resistant to deformation. This durable and solid surface is perfect for any shot requiring spin, shape, and pop.

The Model E features an elongated 16.5” long design. This paddle offers extensive reach at the kitchen compared to the Electrum Pro Model. The polypropylene core uses whole cells that provide a consistent feel no matter where you make contact on the paddle, effectively creating an edge-to-edge “sweet spot”. Similar to the face of the paddle, the handle is also made from carbon fiber which provides more stability throughout the paddle.

If you are looking for the perfect balance of spin, control, and power, try the new Electrum Model E.

Warranty

Electrum offers a 6 MONTH WARRANTY against manufacturer defects on all of our paddles. Normal wear and tear, damage caused by abuse, negligence or user modification, and the natural breakdown over extended use are not covered.

Satisfied Bill Disanza Beginner

Pros: Light weight and grip is very comfortable. Like the fact it’s a little longer. As a new player I feel it’s improving my game.

Cons: While better than my starter paddle I thought it would produce a stronger return. However, at my relatively low skill level it’s just as well.

Boy did my game improve Vicki Stenhouse Intermediate

Pros: Since my game did not drastically improve over night, this paddle has absolutely upped my game. It bites the ball so well and send it exactly where I mean for it to go. It’s crazy good at that. Really love this paddle.

Cons: Seriously the only con is that I need to write my name on the paddle and the black face won’t let it show up.

A Big Difference From My Beginner Paddle! Frank Intermediate

Pros: Professionally packaged, softer more controlled feel, excellent spin capabilities, and the manufacturer elected to use Toray T700 carbon fiber.

Cons: A little on the pricey side, original replacement grips are not available from Electrum, a little heavy (mine came in at 8,4 ounces).

Absolutely loved it! Ben Intermediate

Pros: Across the board the paddle was fantastic. Tons of grit, ample power, and really nice feel whether you dinking or driving. I love this paddle.

Cons: I'm not a huge fan of the beveled grip, so I replaced it with a smooth grip and all was well in the world for $1.99.

Great paddle if you like spin Manuel Intermediate

Pros: Amazing durability, I've been played both outdoors and indoors since last summer almost every day, and not even a scratch on the surface: the raw carbon last, and works like the first day. Amazing spin you can actually give to the ball thanks to the grit surface. The tick 16 mm paddle gives you also a lot of precision on any shot. Great reach at the kitchen.

Cons: It needs practice to learn how to good dink at the kitchen with this one (a thinner paddle is easier for beginner). But once you get use to it, does the work

Electrum Model E Eric P. Intermediate

Pros: Overall great feel and control. Excellent spin and dink control. Great surface feel. Some reviews complained a bit too heavy to play fast at kitchen line but I've played with heavier paddles so feels great to me.

Cons: Handle grip not great especially at this price point. I just used a tacky handle wrap and so far so good.

Thumbs Up! SH Intermediate

Pros: Have tried many brands, and this is my favorite. Soft paddle with a lot of control. I also had the original Electrum paddle and like this one even better for my style of play. I like to play with a lot of topspin in my shots and this has really elevated that and has given me more accuracy with shots. Also just looks super cool!

Cons: No cons from me.

This thing is awesome! RW Intermediate

Pros: I have used a couple of higher end paddles, but this one is by far my favorite. It's a bit skinnier than the paddles I was using but that didn't make much difference. Excellent spin and control. Great reaction off the face.

Power & Reach CH Intermediate

Pros: This Paddle is longer than you would think. It has a ton of reach to cover anywhere on the court. It is very thick but feels lighter than it looks. It feels very powerful and you can tell a difference in the speed at which the ball pops off the face compared to other paddles at a similar weight. Only time will tell, but it feels like this paddle will hold together great. Very solid and well put together.

Pros: My style of play involves lots of spin on my shots and this paddle helps provide me with wicked amounts of spin, more so than I thought was possible.

Cons: Ball marks show on the paddle easily, but honestly not really a con as you can see where you are squaring up the ball or where you missed.

Great Paddle! KG Intermediate

Pros: Creates a ton of spin. The reach is unmatched, covers almost ever shot on the court and for dinking. Makes for a powerful drive, lots of "pop" off this paddle. The grip provides quite a bit of support.

Cons: None as of right now, this paddle has elevated my game.
