Bread & Butter Shogun 16mm Imperial Edition Pickleball Paddle

The Bread & Butter Shogun 16mm Imperial Edition commands the court with regal authority, presented in a striking new bold red colorway that evokes the intensity of "Red Mist"—a visual declaration of dominance for elite players. This elongated warrior measures 16.5 inches in length and 7.375 inches in width, extending reach to deliver commanding leverage on serves and groundstrokes. The revolutionary face, a never-before-seen T-700 Carbon Fiber x Electroplated Polyester weave, unleashes an experimental blend of explosive power and heightened spin, while the Imperial Edition's vivid crimson aesthetic amplifies its presence as a limited-edition powerhouse built for those who play with precision and fury.

At its foundation lies a 16mm high-density polypropylene core, fortified by patented thermoformed construction (U.S. Patent No. 11,597,169), ensuring flawless consistency, exceptional durability, and a responsive feel that endures through grueling matches. Weighing 8.0–8.3 ounces, with a swing weight of 120 and twist weight of 6.18, the paddle balances thunderous pop with controlled stability—capable of matching the Filth's raw energy yet offering noticeably superior control over pure carbon fiber designs. This makes it a versatile all-court weapon that rewards aggressive swings without sacrificing the finesse required for strategic resets and volleys.

The elongated form is complemented by a 5.5-inch handle length and 4.3-inch circumference octagon grip, wrapped in vibration-dampening material to provide a secure, comfortable hold that minimizes fatigue and enhances feedback during extended rallies. UV-printed graphics directly on the surface create a sleek, battle-ready look in the Imperial red, where every detail—from the bold hue to the premium weave—signals elite craftsmanship. It arrives complete with a protective paddle cover, ready to accompany warriors into competition (sauce not included, katana sold separately).

USAP-approved and honored as the Best Elongated All Court Paddle of The Year in 2024 by The Pickleball Studio, the Shogun 16mm Imperial Edition excels across singles and doubles, blending devastating baseline power with refined touch at the net. It targets advanced players who demand a paddle that keeps pace with the most ferocious offenses while granting extra control for tactical mastery—ideal for those who refuse to settle for ordinary performance in high-stakes play.

In the hands of a true noble warrior, the Bread & Butter Shogun 16mm Imperial Edition transforms every point into a royal conquest. It fuses innovative surface technology, thoughtful ergonomics, and a commanding red presence into a paddle that feels both regal and ruthless—delivering power that intimidates and control that conquers. This edition invites players to wield authority with every stroke, proving that when precision meets unrelenting force in imperial crimson, the court becomes your kingdom.
