HexaFlex™ T700 Carbon Fiber Technology
SunStrikes' patent pending HexaFlex™ pickleball technology represents more than just a name—it's a patent pending dense hexagonal honeycomb T700 carbon fiber weave on the paddle surface, brought to life through intense research and design
Power: The HexaFlex™ honeycomb structure boasts an exceptional strength-to weight ratio. This provides a paddle that offers both enhanced durability and power, ensuring your shots leave a mark every time. When the ball is hit with force, the additional carbon used to create the honeycomb weave comes into play, unleashing the true power engineered into the HexaFlex™ T700 carbon fiber surface
Control & Consistency: Thanks to the uniform weight distribution and symmetry of the HexaFlex™ T700 carbon fiber weave, experience a pickleball paddle that boasts unrivaled control and consistency. The high grit symmetrical HexaFlex™ carbon fiber surface provides consistent and predictable spin techniques for advanced players.
Shock Absorption: No more jarring shocks. The SunStrike HexaFlex™ offers unmatched shock absorption, and vibration dampening safeguarding your hand and wrist from unnecessary strain during those intense moments and propelling your soft touch
game above the competition.
Aesthetic: Beyond its performance benefits, the HexaFlex™ T700 carbon fiber paddle is a visual delight that proudly displays the latest innovation in pickleball technology.
Enhanced InnerForce ™ Edgeless Design
More than edgeless, it’s InnerForce ™. We didn’t just build an edgeless design, we went deeper, instilling it with InnerForce ™, a powerful patent pending reinforcement beneath the surface that creates a hidden led tape like effect out of the box!
True Edge to Edge Performance: Dive into a dimension where dimensions defy standards. Our sleek 16.6” X 7.3” design achieves a broader hitting surface compared to the conventional 16.5” X 7.5” paddles, all while being more compact. But here’s the game-changer: InnerForce ™ enhances the edgeless paddle stability enabling true edge to edge performance."
Reduced Chance of Mis-hits: Sometimes, shots that hit the edge guard can rebound in unpredictable ways. With an edgeless design, the ball is more likely to rebound predictably, even on off-center shots.
Low Swing Weight: Removing the edge guard reduces the weight of our paddle. InnerForce ™ provides further weight redistribution to balance the paddle and create a lower swing weight. This will be advantageous for players looking for quicker paddle movement, especially at the net during fast volley exchanges.
Streamlined Feel and Look: The absence of an edge guard provides a sleek and smooth appearance. This not only makes the SunStrike paddle look modern and minimalistic but also enhances the paddle's aerodynamics.
Tri-Layered PP Fusion Core ™
Recognizing the value in PP honeycomb cores, we've centered our Tri-Layered PP Fusion Core around it but added two groundbreaking layers to push the boundaries of what's possible in paddle performance.
Enhanced Durability: The tri-layered PP Fiber Fusion Core enhances the structural integrity of the core, which adds to the overall resilience of the paddle. This means that the paddle can withstand rigorous play and has a longer lifespan.
Power: The outer layers of the core are designed to absorb and reflect the energy force from the ball while the inner layer is more elastic. The combination of these properties has a synergistic impact on power. The outer layers absorb the momentum of the ball being driven at you and then when hit with force the elastic center layer is engaged to create a trampoline effect for power like never before. Keep in mind, this is not the only tech on the paddle that is
increasing the power and control, so the synergies here really take the performance to the next level.
Control + Shock Absorption: Using
the latest in material innovations, we've precisely created the outer layers of the core for optimal vibration control. When the ball is tapped lightly it is only the outer layers of the core that are engaged allowing for easy drops into the kitchen. One way this can be used, is to surprise your opponent with a short drop into the kitchen, while they are standing all the way back waiting for your slam. Yes, with this technology, it is way easier to have that kind of finesse and then engage power when you need it You need to experience it.
Thermoformed & Unibody
Our state of the art thermoforming process not only elevates the paddle’s structural integrity but also optimizes its performance on every shot.
Integrated Strength: The unibody construction means the paddle is formed as one continuous piece. This eliminates the need for joints or seams, resulting in a more structurally sound design that can offer increased durability.
Consistent Playing Surface: Thermoforming ensures that the paddle surface is consistent across its entirety. This consistency can enhance ball control and reduce unpredictable rebounds, allowing for a more predictable and controlled game.
Lightweight & Balanced: Thermoformed paddles are often lighter, as the process allows for precise control over material distribution. This results in a well-balanced paddle that can be easier to maneuver, particularly during fast exchanges.
Enhanced Aerodynamics: The unibody design and the precision of the thermoforming process can produce sleeker and smoother paddles. This streamlined design can improve the paddle's aerodynamics, allowing for swifter movements and quicker reactions.
Optimized Impact Distribution: The continuous structure ensures that the impact from the ball is distributed evenly across the paddle. This can reduce stress points and extend the lifespan of the paddle. HexaFlex, It’s more than just a paddle it’s a technology.
