Pickleball Apes Charm V Pickleball Paddle

Pickleball Apes Charm V Pickleball Paddle

Experience the breakthrough that is the Pickleball Apes Charm V, the first fully foam-filled paddle from the brand and a true wide-body game-changer that blends luxurious softness with predictable, harnessable power. At its heart lies an entirely new diced-core foam design: a solid block of high-performance foam with precise horizontal incisions cut 25 percent deep from each side. These strategic channels allow the core to flex and breathe on contact, dramatically extending ball dwell time while preserving a stable, controlled energy release that feels plush yet never mushy.

Polyurethane foam inserts are pre-molded into each corner, anchoring the core and eliminating the floating movement found in many foam paddles. This smart reinforcement, combined with a rigid carbon fiber frame running the perimeter, delivers outstanding shock absorption, reduced vibration, and a remarkably solid connection on every shot, from lightning-fast hands battles to deep baseline drives. The result is a paddle that feels forgiving and confidence-inspiring the moment you pick it up, with virtually no break-in period required.

The expansive 8.1-inch wide-body poly-aramid fiber face grabs the ball aggressively, turning extended dwell time into effortless spin and pinpoint placement. Serves bite hard, drives dip sharply, and drops land exactly where you want them. Weighing between 8.1 and 8.3 ounces with a balanced swing weight and elevated twist weight, the Charm V maneuvers quickly at the net while remaining rock-steady on off-center hits and defensive blocks.

Wrapped in a premium leather performance grip that measures 5.5 inches long and 4.25 inches in circumference, the paddle sits comfortably in the hand and encourages fast wrist snaps and smooth transitions. At 16.5 mm thick and 15.8 inches tall, it offers the classic wide-body sweet spot that makes blocking, resetting, and counter-attacking feel almost automatic.

Whether you’re a rising 3.5 player looking for a paddle that grows with you or a seasoned pro who values touch and consistency without sacrificing pop, the Charm V delivers a rare combination of plush comfort, controllable power, and spin-friendly dwell that works for virtually every style of play. Each paddle ships with its own protective cover and carries full USAP approval. Discover why this wide-body foam revolution is winning over players at every level—one forgiving, powerful, spin-loaded swing at a time.
