ProStar
Elongated16mmGen-3Thermoformed
The Nexus ProStar is a 16 mm elongated pickleball paddle with a thermoformed, Carbon Fiber & PET Fibers ("Titanium") face. It generates low spin (8th percentile) with average power and above-average pop. It has a heavier, head-leaning swing weight that favors power and plow-through over hand speed, with around-average twist weight and forgiveness. Overall it's a versatile all-court profile.
