Pickleball Apes
Pulse E
Extra-elongated16.5mmGen 3Thermoformed
The Pickleball Apes Pulse E is a 16.5 mm extra-elongated pickleball paddle with a thermoformed, Kevlar/Nylon face. It generates below-average spin (36th percentile) with below-average power and low 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.
