Drive Carbon

Elongated19mmGen-2Thermoformed

The ProDrive Drive Carbon is a 19 mm elongated pickleball paddle with a thermoformed, Toray Carbon Fiber face. It generates low spin (13th 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, plus elite twist weight for strong off-center forgiveness. Overall it's a control-oriented profile that trades raw power for touch and placement.
