Elite X

Elongated16mmGen-3Thermoformed

The Facolos Elite X is a 16 mm elongated pickleball paddle with a thermoformed, T700 Carbon Fiber face. It generates above-average spin (59th percentile) with below-average power and average 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 control-oriented profile that trades raw power for touch and placement.
