Spartus P1 Elongated with PermaGrit Pickleball Paddle

Spartus Pickleball continues to push paddle technology forward with the Spartus P1 Elongated, a power paddle built around long-term spin performance and durable Gen 4 foam construction. Its 16.5-inch elongated shape gives players extra reach from the baseline and at the kitchen, while the 120-124 swing weight creates a more substantial feel than lighter paddles. The result is a paddle designed for players who enjoy driving through the ball with stability while retaining the control needed to shape each shot.

The standout feature is PermaGrit, a ceramic-hybrid grit technology engineered for increased friction and long-lasting texture. Rather than depending solely on traditional raw carbon surface texture, PermaGrit is designed to keep gripping the ball as playing time adds up. Spartus rates the elongated model at 2,100+ RPM, providing great spin for serves, drives, rolls, and creative angles close to the net. Players concerned about raw carbon fiber durability may appreciate a surface specifically designed to minimize rapid grit wear and maintain consistent court performance longer.

Inside, a 16mm Generation 4 dual-density floating foam core combines EPP and EVA. This construction creates explosive pop with refined feedback while producing a larger, more consistent sweet spot. Combined with a Toray T700 carbon fiber and fiberglass face, the core gives the P1 a strong combination of power, control, stability, and spin. The floating-foam method is also designed to prevent the core-crush and delamination issues associated with some earlier paddle generations.

At 8.1-8.5 ounces, the paddle has enough weight to feel solid when blocking hard shots, hitting resets, or attacking from the kitchen. Its elongated face and 5.5-inch handle are also well suited to long swings and two-handed backhands. USAP approval makes it ready for sanctioned competition, and the paddle is assembled in the USA.

For players searching the pickleball market for reach, pop, friction, lasting grit, and reliable performance, the P1 brings those qualities together in one competition-ready design.
