Graphite Pickleball Paddle – Custom & OEM
A lightweight graphite-faced paddle with a crisp, controlled response, positioned between fiberglass and carbon. Available with your branding and packaging.
A graphite pickleball paddle uses a thin, stiff graphite face over a honeycomb core. It is typically lighter than fiberglass and gives a crisper, more controlled feel, without the cost of a raw T700 carbon build. It works well as a mid-range model and appeals to players moving up from a beginner paddle.

Frequently asked questions
Is graphite the same as carbon fiber?
Both are carbon-based. In paddle marketing, graphite usually refers to a thin, smooth graphite layer, while carbon fiber refers to woven or unidirectional carbon fabric, often with a raw texture.
Is graphite lighter?
Graphite paddles are often on the lighter side, which suits players who want quick hands at the net.
Can it have a textured surface?
Graphite faces are usually smoother. If spin is a priority, a raw carbon face may be a better choice.
Can I order samples of both graphite and fiberglass?
Yes. Comparing samples is the easiest way to choose.
