14mm Control Core for Balanced Performance
At the heart of this Adidas pickleball paddle lies a 14mm low-density polypropylene honeycomb core that delivers the ideal balance between power and precision. This core thickness provides enough stiffness for solid drives while maintaining the flexibility needed for soft dinks and drop shots. The honeycomb structure absorbs vibrations on impact, making every shot feel comfortable and controlled – even during long, intense rallies.
Core Benefits
- Soft, responsive feel on ball contact
- Wide central sweet spot for consistent shots
- Vibration dampening for arm comfort
- Balanced power-to-control ratio for all-round play
Spin Blade Grit Fiberglass Surface
The MATCH 2025 features a fiberglass pickleball paddle face coated with Adidas’ proprietary Spin Blade Grit technology. This textured surface grips the ball on contact, allowing you to generate impressive topspin, slices, and angle shots with minimal effort. Unlike smooth paddle faces that let the ball slide off, the Spin Blade Grit catches and releases the ball with added rotation – making your shots harder to read and return.
Surface Advantages
- Spin Blade Grit texture for maximum spin potential
- Fiberglass construction for soft, controlled feel
- Long-lasting surface that maintains grit over time
- Excellent for serves, drops, and angle shots

This forgiving design helps intermediate players connect cleanly even on off-centre hits, building confidence during fast exchanges. Whether you are defending against aggressive opponents or setting up your own attacks, the wide face gives you the coverage you need to stay in every rally.
Shape Benefits
- Wide body for maximum coverage
- Forgiving sweet spot for consistent contact
- Excellent net defence in doubles play
- Easy transition from other racquet sports
