At its center is the DuoFoam Ridge Core, a dual foam core that blends EPP foam and EVA foam instead of relying on a conventional honeycomb playing core. The two \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/foam-core-pickleball-paddles\" title=\"Foam Core Paddles\"\u003efoams\u003c\/a\u003e serve different roles: EPP adds structure and stability, while EVA contributes softness, dwell, and more control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes the Enhance Pickleball design especially distinctive is its ridge architecture. Internal openings along the edges create a slightly hollow sensation and increase trampoline effect, giving the ball good pop without making the DUO feel disconnected. The construction is tuned to deliver power, pace, and consistency while maintaining a solid sense of contact. For players curious about other foam paddles, the DUO feels intentionally crisp rather than overly muted or soft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree layers of T700 raw \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/carbon-fiber-and-graphite-face-pickleball-paddles\" title=\"Carbon Fiber Face Paddles\"\u003ecarbon fiber\u003c\/a\u003e cover the face, providing strong ball grip and high-spin potential. Increased dwell from the foam core works with the carbon fiber surface to help players shape drives, rolls, serves, and controlled shots. A generous sweet spot adds forgiveness when contact moves away from center.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe elongated 16.5” shape puts the DUO firmly in the power category. Added length creates leverage and reach, while the 5.7” handle accommodates two-handed backhands. With a manufacturer-listed swing weight of 118-122 and 8.0-8.2 oz weight range, it carries enough mass for powerful drives and serves while remaining stable through contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared with the DUO Widebody, which emphasizes a bigger sweet spot and forgiveness, the DUO Elongated favors reach and raw power. It is an appealing option for singles players, tennis converts, aggressive hitters, and anyone who wants a power paddle with high spin, responsive feedback, and the distinctive performance of dual-foam construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat foams are used in the Enhance DUO?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DUO combines EPP foam for structure and stability with EVA foam for softness, dwell, and control.
