Tesla Plaid
Elongated16mmGen-2Thermoformed-edgeless
The Tesla (and Selkirk) Tesla Plaid is a 16 mm elongated pickleball paddle with a thermoformed-edgeless, 3K Twill Composite and T700 face. It generates elite spin (99th percentile) with well above-average power and 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.
