16 mm pickleball paddles under $150
Core thickness is one of the few spec lines that does not scale with price — a $130 paddle can carry the same 16 mm core as a $250 one. What you give up is usually the surface and the pressing process, not the thickness.
88 paddles · every number below is lab-measured, not a manufacturer claim.
