Wild Thang
Elongated16mmGen-2Thermoformed
The Bread & Butter Wild Thang is a 16 mm elongated pickleball paddle with a thermoformed, T700 Carbon Fiber face. It generates low spin (10th percentile) with well above-average power and elite pop. It has a heavier, head-leaning swing weight that favors power and plow-through over hand speed, but low twist weight, so off-center hits lose more pace. Overall it's a versatile all-court profile.
