Pickleball Apes
Pulse V
Widebody17mmGen 3
The Pickleball Apes Pulse V is a 17 mm widebody pickleball paddle. It generates low spin (34th percentile) with low power and below-average pop. It has a light, maneuverable swing weight built for quick hands at the net, plus elite twist weight for strong off-center forgiveness. Overall it's a control-oriented profile that trades raw power for touch and placement.
