Description
Pickleball Apes Harmony S Carbon Fiber Pickleball Paddle
Ready to elevate your all-court game? The Harmony S brings the perfect balance of power, precision, and comfort to every swing.
Paddle Benefits
The Pickleball Apes Harmony S is designed for players who crave all-court versatility with a paddle that doesn’t compromise on control or responsiveness. Built with a hybrid-shaped design, this paddle offers a solid blend of reach, maneuverability, and forgiveness—ideal for players who like to mix quick resets with aggressive drives.
At the heart of the Harmony S is a Honeycomb Poly Core reinforced with polyurethane foam padding and fiberglass sidewalls, providing outstanding stability and durability. The use of PU foam, rarely seen in Gen3 paddles, not only enhances shock absorption but also improves energy return, giving you a crisp and reactive feel on every shot. Plus, it holds up better than EVA foam in both cold temps and extended play sessions.
Topped with a raw carbon fiber face, you'll experience increased spin potential and control during dinks, drops, and drives. The 16.5 mm core thickness softens the feel for enhanced control without sacrificing pop. A 5.5” handle length accommodates two-handed backhands, while the 4.25” grip delivers a secure, comfortable hold. Weighing just 7.9–8.1 oz, the Harmony S is easy to whip through quick volleys but stable enough for off-center hits.
It’s USAP Approved and backed by a 30-day, no-questions-asked trial, making it an excellent pick for intermediate to advanced players ready to dial in their performance.
Warranty
Pickleball Apes strives to offer the highest quality pickleball paddles. Their paddles come with a Limited 12-month warranty against manufacturer defects, ensuring you receive a product that meets the highest standards.
