About the Alpha
Your first real paddle. The Alpha is built for players in their first 6–18 months of pickleball — a forgiving sweet spot, balanced weight, and a Toray T700 carbon face that doesn't glaze in 35°C+ heat the way most imported paddles do.
Specs: 16mm honeycomb polypropylene core · T700 raw carbon face · 8.0–8.3 oz · 16.5 × 7.5 in · 4.25 in grip circumference
Built for India. Tested in Mumbai humidity, Delhi summer heat, Bengaluru clay-painted hardcourts. Backed by a 1-year manufacturer warranty.
Three colorways — pick the one that matches your kit: Red, Sky Blue, or Saffron Orange.

✓ Verified playerQuestions, answered
Is the Alpha right for a first paddle?
Yes, it's exactly what we built it for. A forgiving 16 mm sweet spot, balanced 226 ± 5 g weight, and a thermoformed T700 carbon build that most brands reserve for paddles at twice the price. It will carry you comfortably through your first 12–18 months of regular play.
Alpha vs Apex Pro: which should I buy?
If you're in your first year or play socially, the Alpha. If you're playing regular club games past 3.0 and want more pop with a foam-injected core, the Apex Pro Gen-3. Same T700 carbon family, different generations of build.
Do the colorways play differently?
No. Red, Sky Blue, and Saffron Orange are the same paddle underneath: identical face, core, weight, and balance. Pick the one you'll enjoy pulling out of the bag.
What's the handle like for two-handed backhands?
At 142 mm, the Alpha has the longest handle in our lineup, deliberately. It leaves room for a second hand as your backhand develops.
What's the warranty and return policy?
1-year manufacturer warranty against material and workmanship defects, plus a 7-day exchange if a paddle arrives defective or damaged (we pay return shipping; change-of-mind returns aren't accepted). Full terms here.
