Enhance DUO Widebody 16mm Pickleball Paddle

The Enhance DUO Widebody Pickleball Paddle brings a distinctive approach to foam paddles by pairing a patent-pending DuoFoam Ridge Core with a T700 raw carbon fiber face. Instead of relying on the feel of most foam paddles, the DUO combines two foams to create a more energetic response. EPP foam supplies structure and power through the center, while EVA around the edges adds softness, dwell, and more control. The result is a dual foam core tuned for a crisp, connected feel rather than an overly muted response.

This 16 mm power paddle sits firmly in the power category, but its widebody shape gives it a bigger sweet spot and strong forgiveness. The 16” x 8” profile, 7.0+ twist weight, and 111-114 swing weight help the DUO Widebody stay stable in hands battles while remaining maneuverable at the net. Blocks, counters, resets, aggressive dinks, and pace-driven shots all benefit from the balance of pop, control, and stability.

The ridge architecture creates internal openings that give the foam core a slightly hollow, lively character and increase trampoline response. That construction helps the paddle deliver raw power without losing the solid feedback players expect on contact. Compared with other paddles built around traditional honeycomb cores, the EPP-based construction is designed to resist core breakdown and maintain its pop and consistency longer.

Spin is another major strength. Three layers of T700 raw carbon fiber grip the ball for high spin potential, while the foam construction increases dwell time so players can shape drives, rolls, and dinks with more confidence. Enhance also offers DUO Elongated and Hybrid shapes, but the DUO Widebody is built for players who prioritize the biggest sweet spot, forgiveness, quick reactions, and court stability.

At $174.99, the Enhance DUO enters the market below $200 while delivering thermoformed dual-foam construction and USAP-approved performance. For players comparing modern foam paddles, it offers a compelling blend of power, spin, durability, feedback, maneuverability, and control.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Enhance DUO different from other foam paddles?

Its patent-pending DuoFoam Ridge Core combines EPP and EVA rather than relying on a single foam. EPP supplies structure and power, while EVA contributes softness, dwell, and control.

Is the DUO Widebody a power paddle?

Yes. Enhance places the DUO in the power category. The ridge core creates trampoline effect and pop, while the widebody shape adds forgiveness and stability.

How much spin does the paddle produce?

The three-layer T700 raw carbon fiber surface provides high spin potential, while increased dwell helps players grip and shape the ball.

Why choose Widebody instead of DUO Elongated?

The Widebody emphasizes a bigger sweet spot, maneuverability, and forgiveness. The elongated shape provides additional reach and leverage but carries a higher swing weight.

What warranty does the DUO include?

Enhance backs the internal foam core with a 365-day warranty covering qualifying core failure, separation, or delamination from normal play.
