Thrive
Smoke
The Thrive Smoke is a 14.5 mm elongated pickleball paddle with a thermoformed, Carbon face. It generates below-average spin (43th 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, but low twist weight, so off-center hits lose more pace. Overall it's a versatile all-court profile.
