Head Kickstarter Pickleball Paddle

HEAD Kickstarter Pickleball Paddle

The HEAD Kickstarter Pickleball Paddle is designed for beginners and developing players looking for a comfortable balance of power and control. Featuring a 15 mm versatility core, a responsive fibreglass hitting surface and a tapered paddle shape, it provides an accessible introduction to pickleball with the performance needed to develop your game.

Its balanced construction makes it a practical choice for learning fundamental shots, improving consistency and building confidence during social games and regular training.

15 mm Versatility Core for Balanced Performance

The HEAD Kickstarter features a 15 mm versatility core, designed to provide a combination of control and power.

This balanced construction helps new players develop their technique without committing to a paddle focused exclusively on either attacking power or soft touch.

Whether practising serves, returning shots or learning to control rallies at the kitchen line, the 15 mm core provides a versatile platform for improving your game.

Fibreglass Surface for Easy Power

The fibreglass hitting surface delivers a responsive feel with accessible power, helping players generate pace as they develop their swing technique.

This makes the Kickstarter particularly useful for beginners who are still building confidence with drives, serves and attacking shots.

The combination of fibreglass and the 15 mm core provides a practical balance between easy ball speed and controlled placement.

Tapered Shape with a Higher Sweet Spot

The Kickstarter features a tapered paddle shape that positions the sweet spot higher on the hitting surface.

This design is intended to provide additional reach and power in the upper section of the paddle face, supporting players as they develop their timing and shot technique.

The higher sweet spot is particularly useful for players learning to extend through their shots and generate consistent contact.
