Paddletek Reserve Honeyfoam 001 16mm Pickleball Paddle

Paddletek Reserve Honeyfoam 001 16mm Pickleball Paddle

Take control of every point with the Paddletek Reserve Honeyfoam 001 16mm, the inaugural release from Paddletek's limited small-batch Reserve series. This all-foam paddle is engineered around the proprietary Honeyfoam multi-foam floating core, which creates an exceptionally large sweet spot and significantly longer dwell time. The outcome is a plush, controlled response with outstanding touch, precise placement, and enough power when called for—perfect for players who prioritize consistency, soft resets, and strategic play over raw aggression.

Key features and benefits:

•    Honeyfoam Multi-Foam Technology Proprietary three-foam construction: low-density EPP core wrapped in high-performance EVA foam from 4 to 8 o'clock for enhanced energy return and extended dwell. A perimeter foam ring boosts stability, further widens the sweet spot, and maximizes forgiveness.
•    Shock Arrestor Edge Guard Advanced impact-dampening material absorbs shock, reduces vibration, and protects the edge for superior durability.
•    PT-700 Unidirectional Raw Carbon Fiber Hitting Surface Precision-built to generate elite spin and hold its grit through intense, repeated use.
•    Elongated Shape Matches the proven TKO-X geometry (16.25" L × 7.5" W) for added reach and leverage while maintaining the consistent, extended sweet spot that supports accurate, controlled shot-making across the entire face.

Specifications:

•    Weight Range: 8.0 ± 0.2 oz
•    Thickness: 16 mm
•    Dimensions: 16.25" L × 7.5" W
•    Handle Length: 5.75"
•    Twist Weight: 6
•    Swing Weight: 115

The 16mm core delivers greater control, softer touch, enhanced forgiveness on off-center contact, and a more planted, predictable feel compared to the quicker, poppier 14mm version. This makes the 16mm ideal for players who excel at dinking, resetting pace, executing third-shot drops, and placing shots precisely during long rallies or defensive situations.

Early feedback highlights its plush response, vibration reduction, and ability to blend control with enough power to finish points when needed—making it a favorite for consistent, touch-oriented playstyles.

This limited-edition paddle gives you next-generation foam performance in a forgiving, control-focused package. 

(Pro tip: Leverage the longer dwell time on soft shots and resets—the extra hang time on the face helps you guide the ball exactly where you want it, especially on third-shot drops and kitchen placement!)
