ProXR Zane Navratil "The Standard" Pickleball Paddle

The ProXR Zane Navratil “The Standard” Pickleball Paddle is crafted to meet the exacting demands of pickleball pro Zane Navratil, delivering unparalleled control and precision on the court. At the heart of this paddle lies the Ultra Raw T700 carbon fiber face, measuring 10" x 7.5". This cutting-edge material offers minimal give and maximum friction, allowing the ball to compress and linger on the face for an extended period. With this prolonged contact, players can effortlessly impart excessive spin on cut shots and maintain control throughout the game. Designed with input from the 2022 #1 men’s pro, this paddle—available in 14mm and 16mm variants—brings championship pedigree to every swing, letting you choose your perfect balance of power and finesse.

Backing up the formidable face is a polypropylene honeycomb core, renowned for its ability to limit vibrations and expand the sweet spot. This core technology ensures that players can consistently place shots exactly where they intend, enhancing accuracy and confidence on every swing. The 14mm (0.55") version strikes a harmony between punch and precision, ideal for those who blend offense with defense, while the 16mm (0.63") option leans harder into control, softening impacts for a plush feel that excels in strategic play. Both thicknesses harness advanced honeycomb design, turning the entire face into a responsive canvas that steadies your hand and sharpens your game, no matter the pace.

To complement its exceptional control features, the ProXR Zane Navratil Carbon paddle is equipped with an ultra-extended 6" long handle wrapped in a Performance-Tac grip. This configuration provides players with ample leverage and swing speed, allowing them to generate power on slams and drives effortlessly. Despite its 8.2 oz. weight, this paddle maintains a high-speed feel, enabling players to surprise opponents with swift and decisive shots. The elongated handle, a nod to Zane’s all-court mastery, offers room for two-handed grips or a stretched reach to snatch low dinks, pairing seamlessly with the paddle’s Shock Foam Edge Guard—a Zane-signature blue rim that disperses vibrations and bolsters durability, keeping mis-hits in play with uncanny consistency.

Whether you're executing slow, strategic plays or looking to unleash powerful slams, the Zane Navratil “The Standard” Paddle from ProXR Pickleball is designed to meet your needs. With its unmatched control and feel, this paddle empowers players to dominate the game from all positions on the court. Available in a sleek, unified design across both variants, it marries a T700 Ultra-Raw Carbon face—among the toughest and grippiest in the game—with a core that balances pop and poise. The 14mm variant fuels a dynamic blend of speed and placement, while the 16mm shifts the focus to a softer, more forgiving touch, perfect for kitchen battles or baseline rallies. Each is built to endure, its rugged construction echoing Zane’s relentless style.

This paddle isn’t just a tool—it’s a testament to precision engineering, forged for those who demand consistency without sacrificing versatility. The Standard variant’s wider 16" x 8" shape offers a broader hitting zone for defensive stalwarts, contrasting with the original’s elongated agility, yet both share the same spin-savvy surface and vibration-dampening edge. Weighing in at a mid-range 8.2 oz., it straddles the line between heft and haste, letting you reload fast at the net or power through from the backcourt. With ProXR’s commitment to durability and Zane’s pro-honed insight, the Raw Carbon Control Paddle stands ready to refine your skills, shot by shot, and anchor your rise to pickleball dominance—your choice of 14mm or 16mm, your path to mastery.
