Surge

Hybrid16mmGen-2Thermoformed

The Thrive Surge is a 16 mm hybrid pickleball paddle with a thermoformed, Toray Carbon Fiber face. It generates well above-average spin (76th percentile) with average power and below-average pop. It has a mid-range swing weight that balances power and maneuverability, plus well above-average twist weight for strong off-center forgiveness. Overall it's a control-oriented profile that trades raw power for touch and placement.
