Carbon Fiber Pickleball Paddles – Wholesale Supply from China
These paddles are built from unidirectional carbon fiber prepreg laminated with an epoxy resin system, resulting in a high‑strength, low‑mass striking surface. The core is typically a polypropylene honeycomb or foam, selected to achieve a specific balance between power transfer and vibration damping.
Material Composition and Construction
The face consists of 12 k‑tow carbon fiber plies oriented at 0° and 90° to maximize in‑plane tensile modulus (≈ 230 GPa) while keeping areal weight under 300 g/m². The resin system is cured at 180 °C for 90 minutes, yielding a glass transition temperature above 150 °C, ensuring dimensional stability under indoor court conditions.
Edge guards are injection‑molded thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) with a Shore A hardness of 85, providing abrasion resistance and protecting the carbon layers from impact damage during play.

| Length | 400 mm | Caliper |
| Width | 190 mm | Caliper |
| Thickness (face + core) | 16 mm | Micrometer |
| Swing Weight | 95 ± 5 g·cm² | Pendulum method |
| Balance Point (from butt cap) | 190 mm | Balance beam |
| Face Tensile Strength | 450 MPa | ASTM D3039 |
Customization Options
- Length adjustment from 380 mm to 420 mm in 5 mm increments.
- Grip circumference options: 100 mm, 105 mm, 110 mm (over‑grip compatible).
- Surface finish: matte, satin, or gloss UV‑cured coating with roughness Ra 0.8–1.6 µm.
- Color matching to Pantone or RAL standards via dye‑infused resin.
- Laser‑etched logo placement on the throat or face, depth 0.1 mm.
Quality Control and Testing
Each batch undergoes incoming resin viscosity checks, fiber areal weight verification, and post‑cure DMA to confirm storage modulus. Finished paddles are subjected to a 500‑cycle impact test using a standard pickleball at 30 m/s, with pass criteria of < 5 % weight change and no delamination. Dimensional inspection is performed on a CMM with ±0.05 mm tolerance.
Applications in Sports Distribution
Wholesalers benefit from the paddle’s consistent weight distribution, which reduces return rates due to player discomfort. The high specific stiffness enables manufacturers to offer a power‑oriented model without increasing swing weight, appealing to intermediate and advanced players. Moreover, the carbon‑fiber construction resists moisture absorption, allowing storage in varied climate conditions without performance drift.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can dimensions be customized?
Yes, length, width, and grip size can be adjusted per customer specifications; tooling changes are required for deviations beyond ±10 mm of the baseline.
What information is required before quotation?
Desired quantity, target weight range, grip circumference, surface finish, and any branding artwork in vector format.
How is quality inspected?
Incoming material tests, in‑process dimensional checks, and final impact/delamination assessments are documented in a lot‑specific QC report available upon request.
