Overview

Experience the incredible performance and exceptional value of the Neonic 16 mm Paddle. Designed with pickleball enthusiasts in mind, this paddle combines unique features and a budget-friendly price point.

Crafted with precision, the Neonic paddle features a low swing weight and high twist weight combination, allowing for optimal maneuverability and control on the court. The foam injection technology and raw carbon fiber face provide enhanced power and touch.

Don’t let the affordable price tag fool you – the Neonic paddle performs like a paddle worth twice its cost. Its forgiving nature and excellent spin capabilities make it a standout option for net play, while maintaining a good balance of power and control from the baseline.

Neonic Force 16mm technology:

Thermoformed Unibody Design: Multi-layered TORAY T700 carbon fiber extends through the handle of the paddle and covers the exposed polymer on the side of the handle for added durability and a comfort.

Raw Carbon Textured Surface: Raw carbon textured surface provides high levels of spin.

Honeycomb Polymer Core: High-grade polymer is used to create the 16mm thick core for the best combination of power and control.

Foam Injected Walls: Foam is injected around the perimeter of the head and handle to increase the size of the sweet spot, add control and reduce vibrations.

Elongated Shape: A standard elongated shape of 16.5″ X 7.5″

Hybrid Grip Length: The 5.3″ length handle makes room for two handed shots and increases leverage for power. But it’s not so long that it takes away meaningful paddle surface area.

Our Review

I’m always on the hunt for a good paddle at a more affordable price point and I found that in the Neonic Force. It’s a thermoformed paddle that plays just as well as much more expensive thermoformed paddles and even has some attributes that make it unique like its nice combination of a lower swingweight and higher twistweight for an elongated paddle.

It has some great pop at the net on counters and it’s easier to put away the ball with it though it has a little less power from the baseline compared to other thermoformed paddles. What makes this paddle shine is how well balanced it is while still maintaining a good level of forgiveness. It cuts through the air nice and doesn’t give you much trouble on off center hits.

The paddle offers good spin though it’s not as high of a level as I’ve seen with others. Top tier spin paddles are getting around 2000 RPMs while the Neonic gives you around 1750 RPMS. I found it to offer plenty of spin and it didn’t keep me from attacking though you won’t be shocked with the amount of spin it gives you or anything like that.

This paddle is an easy recommendation for players looking for their first performance level paddle that fall into that all-court category and gives you a little bit of everything. You can’t beat the price and performance this paddle gives you.

The bottom line: Neonic’s Force is a great option for players who want a high quality all-court paddle, is longer, has a lighter swingweight and at an entry level price.
