General Product Information
What makes Pro Line Paddles unique?
Pro Line Paddles focus on delivering optimal swing weight, innovative materials and customizable features like BalanceLock and ArmorEdge. Our paddles are designed for players of all skill levels, offering both performance and control.
What are the main differences between Pro Line Heat, Control, Spin, and Precision models?
- Pro Line Heat: Built for power and speed.
- Pro Line Control: Prioritizes touch and precision.
- Pro Line Spin: Features a textured surface for maximum spin potential.
- Pro Line Precision: Offers exceptional control and versatility for balanced play.
What materials are used in Pro Line Paddles?
Our paddles utilize premium surface materials from T700 carbon fiber, 18K carbon fiber, Toray carbon fiber and Toray+ carbon fiber for a lightweight, durable and responsive feel. The interior core material is consistent triple layer 6mm small cell to maximize performance and durability.
What is the difference between Toray+ carbon fiber and regular carbon fiber?
Toray+ carbon fiber stands out for its advanced design, offering unmatched touch, control, and responsiveness. It eliminates unwanted vibrations, creating a softer, more refined feel during play. At the same time, it generates aggressive power for dynamic shots, making it ideal for players who demand both precision and performance. This combination ensures consistent, high-level play across all skill levels.
How are Pro Line paddles balanced?
Pro Line paddles are engineered with BalanceLock technology to optimize weight distribution, allowing players to customize their paddle’s swing weight for their preferred play style. Natively the aluminum inserts broaden the paddle sweet spot, but when you add weight to the head or throat, you begin to change the swing weight and open up the sweet spot even further for the best control on the market.
Customizations and Features
What is BalanceLock?
BalanceLock is Pro Line’s innovative weight customization system, enabling players to fine-tune their paddle’s weight distribution to align with their playing style. Whether you prefer a head-heavy, evenly balanced, or head-light paddle, BalanceLock offers precise adjustments to enhance performance. The system’s inserts not only shift the weight but also reduce torque, resulting in improved paddle stability, smoother swings and a softer, more controlled touch.
What is ArmorEdge?
ArmorEdge is a premium, customizable edge tape designed to protect your paddle while adding a touch of personality. Available in vibrant colors such as titanium blue, shockwave pink, radium green, fusion orange, and onyx black, it ensures durability without compromising style. Every paddle includes all five core colors, giving you the flexibility to switch up your look anytime. Additionally, through the Pro Line Paddle site, you can order extra Skinz or even create personalized designs, unlocking infinite creative possibilities to make your paddle uniquely yours.
Can I adjust the weight of my paddle?
Yes, BalanceLock technology enables you to fine-tune the weight and balance for a customized feel from four points around the paddle.
What is the purpose of Skinz?
Skinz are adhesive 6mil graphic overlays that provide personalized aesthetics while protecting the paddle edge play damage.
What dimensions do Pro Line paddles have?
All Pro Line paddles conform to USAPA standards and feature elongated handles for enhanced two-handed control. The Control, Spin, and Precision paddles measure 16 inches in length and 8 inches in width, providing a balanced design that maximizes control for competitive play. The Heat paddle, with an elongated profile, measures 16.5 inches in length and 7.5 inches in width, catering to players who prioritize power with control.

This adjustment allows us to provide a high-performance paddle at an exceptional value, making it one of the best professional paddles on the market for the price.

Performance and Playability
What is swingweight, and why is it important?
Swingweight reflects the paddle’s force during swings, impacting power, control and arm strain. Higher swingweight paddles deliver more power, while lower swingweight paddles are faster to maneuver. Pro Line Paddles allow you to adjust the swingweight on the paddle by addition and removing weights from the four insert positions around the paddle.

Yes, we offer paddles designed for beginners, recreational players, and professionals, ensuring that everyone can find a paddle that suits their level and style.
Do Pro Line paddles reduce arm fatigue?

What’s the ideal paddle for spin-heavy gameplay?
The Pro Line Spin is specifically designed with a textured surface to maximize ball spin and control. While all four paddles provide incredible control of spin, the Spin model enhanced spin beyond your normal paddle.
How does paddle weight affect performance?
Heavier paddles provide more power but may slow down reaction time slightly, while head light paddles are easier to maneuver and reduce physical strain.
