Dunlop Sports AG-Three V1.0 Pickleball Paddle

The Dunlop Sports AG-Three V1.0 is built for the aggressor who wants to initiate offense, accelerate the ball, and dictate the pace of a rally. Designed for aggressive play, the AG Three combines explosive power with an enhanced sweet spot that helps advanced players maintain control when drives, counters, and hands battles speed up at the net. Its standard shape measures 16" in paddle length and 7.75" in paddle width, giving players a stable platform without moving into a widebody profile.

At its center is a 14mm X3 Foam Core. This Gen 4 full foam design uses high-energy EPP layers for power, a rigid PMI layer for stability and durability, plus perimeter foam that helps make the sweet spot more forgiving. The foam core is engineered to provide fast energy return on drives while maintaining enough dwell and touch for drops, dinks, and resets. That combination matters when a player needs to move from controlled contact to sudden speed without losing precision.

The thermoformed frame adds stiffness and structural support, helping the paddle remain composed through hard contact. Dunlop's Peel Ply Max treatment creates texture directly in the raw carbon fiber face, allowing the paddle to grip the ball for reliable spin and greater shot control. At approximately 8.0 ounces with a 4.25" medium grip, the paddle is suited to fast exchanges while still providing a solid feel through the swing.

The AG series also reflects Dunlop's long history in sports. The brand traces its roots to John Boyd Dunlop's pneumatic tire invention in 1888, began producing golf balls in 1909, and later expanded into tennis balls. Today, Dunlop remains active across tennis, squash, padel, and pickleball, with more than 100 years of experience developing equipment for players around the world.
