A concise guide to understanding 16mm thickness, weight, paddle shapes, cores, trial testing, and the differences between singles and doubles play.
All paddles are 16mm thick, with a nominal weight of approximately 225g and overall dimensions of 409 × 193mm. Reasonable variation may occur within the same batch and between individual paddles.
Industry documentation typically refers to MPP as microcellular polypropylene foam and EPP as expanded polypropylene. Chuzhang uses an MPP core, while Jijing uses an EPP core; these material names only denote the core category and cannot individually prove power, control, durability, or spin performance.
SVS, a pickleball paddle brand presented by Zhongpilian. Developed in accordance with USAPA specifications.
Both MPP and EPP are names of polypropylene foam materials, but the material names alone cannot replace actual on-court paddle testing.
Your first paddle should be easy to pick up and make you want to keep playing, without chasing extreme performance for now.
Playstyle categories help narrow down choices, but cannot replace specific models and actual playtesting.
Thickness is part of the paddle's structure, not standalone proof of control or power.
Even if the weight in grams on the scale is identical, swinging them can still feel completely different.
The grip determines how you hold it, while the paddle shape determines how the hitting zone is distributed.
Same conditions, same tasks, and continuous tracking are more reliable than 'a stunning first hit'.
Singles focuses more on court coverage and sustained drives, while doubles prioritizes net exchanges and transitions.
