Spartus Spitfire Standard/Widebody Pickleball Paddle

The Spartus Spitfire Standard/Widebody Pickleball Paddle takes a power paddle platform and puts it into a quicker, more forgiving 16” x 8” shape. At an average static weight of 7.85 ounces and a 107 swingweight, it is built for fast hand battles without giving up the power and pop that define the Spitfire. Its 7.4 twistweight also gives the face strong stability when contact moves away from center.

The 16mm Generation 4 Turbo Foam core drives the paddle’s performance. Spartus built this foam core for substantial power and great pop, but the response is not simply stiff or overly poppy. The QuadFiber face uses four layers of carbon fiber to create added dwell and touch, helping players manage resets, drops, dinks and controlled drives. That combination puts the paddle firmly in the power category while giving all-court players plenty of control around the net.

Spin is another priority. The PermaGritNano surface is designed to maintain durable grit, and Spartus rates its spin at 2,100+ RPM. The textured surface helps players shape serves, topspin ground strokes and attacking shots while providing another layer of control when hitting with more power. Rather than relying only on pace, the Spitfire combines its foam construction, carbon fiber face and surface texture to create a more complete offensive game.

The widebody shape also makes this version particularly forgiving. Its 8” width provides more face area through the middle, while the high twistweight helps the paddle stay stable on off-center hits. A low swingweight keeps the paddle quick enough for counters and rapid exchanges at the kitchen.

Spartus built the Standard/Widebody for players who want powerful performance without sacrificing touch, spin or hand speed. It is USAP approved and uses a 4.125” grip circumference with a 5.3” handle and 5.5” of usable grip space. Players who enjoy attacking with drives and serves but still need stability and control in the soft game should find plenty to like in this Spitfire shape.
