Its ridge core design uses a patent-pending EPP foam core for structure and energy return, while EVA foam around the edges adds softness and dwell. The DUO combines two \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/foam-core-pickleball-paddles\" title=\"Foam Core Pickleball Paddles\"\u003efoams\u003c\/a\u003e, EPP and EVA, to create a lively trampoline effect while preserving a controlled, responsive feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DUO features a raw T700 carbon fiber face layered for \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pickleball-balls\" title=\"Pickleball Balls\"\u003eball\u003c\/a\u003e grip and elite spin potential. Extra dwell helps the face hold the ball longer, making it easier to shape drives, rolls, and aggressive dinks without losing control. The foam construction also produces good pop and a slightly hollow sensation, giving the DUO a crisp Gen 3-inspired response rather than the muted feel associated with some other foam paddles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the DUO Hybrid LH, the 16.25” hybrid shape balances reach, stability, and maneuverability. Its 5.9” handle gives two-handed backhand players more room and leverage, while the 114-118 swing weight keeps it manageable during fast hands battles. A 6.6 twist weight supports stability on blocks and counters, and its sweet spot is more forgiving than the DUO Elongated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcross the Enhance DUO family, shape matters. The DUO Elongated emphasizes maximum reach and raw power, while the DUO Widebody prioritizes forgiveness, quick handling, and the biggest sweet spot. The Hybrid LH falls between them, tuned for players who want power and sweet spot coverage without sacrificing all-court balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EPP\/EVA foam construction is designed to maintain durability, dwell, and consistency longer than traditional honeycomb builds. For players moving from other paddles who want more power, spin, and connected feedback without abandoning control, the Enhance Pickleball DUO Hybrid LH offers a versatile middle ground. It is USAP approved for tournament play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEnhance DUO Hybrid LH FAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Enhance DUO a power paddle?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
