The Obelisk Crimson Pickleball Paddle uses 100% Dynamic Aramid Fiber Surface. The face material has a unique combination of high strength, high modulus, toughness, and stability. It has high impact resistance and is durable (abrasion resistant), meaning the paddle surface should last a long time and be more resistant to wear compared to existing carbon faced paddles. In addition, the cross-weave cloth pattern provides a bump in spin, grip, and feel. The way the face grabs the ball really stands out along with the power generated. There is a measurable difference between existing face materials and Kevlar in terms of production workability and the process of imparting a raw textured surface. The Red Horizon paddle has an eye-catching red, white or black matching trim.
The Design.
The Hybrid Flare top paddle design builds on the carbon fusion edge thermoform.
Foam injection edge combines with light-weight carbon seam fusing the top and bottom faces of the paddle, which results in a tighter crisp feel and an increased sweet spot that radiates around the paddle perimeter, meaning the Crimson is one of the most forgiving paddle in the market.
The Handle
To maximize strength and performance, Obelisk has designed a 3D carbon forged handle. The carbon face and fusion edge technology extends down the full length of the handle and is forged together under heat and pressure – 3D carbon. The construction is designed to reduce vibration, ensuring comfortable play and a responsive feel. The design allows for optimal flex, improving the paddle neck sweet spot. A tapered neck and a 5.75” elongated handle accommodate for double backhand players. The handle is finished with a premium custom perforated faux leather grip with a 4.25” circumference – suited to all sized hands.
