Warping Point Neon Elongated 16mm Pickleball Paddle

The Warping Point Neon Elongated 16mm Pickleball Paddle brings power and control together in an all-court design made for intermediate to advanced players. Rather than forcing players to choose between soft touch and attacking performance, this Neon paddle is designed to handle both sides of the game with a stable, responsive feel.

At the center of this pickleball paddle is a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb EdgeFusion Core reinforced by high-density EVA around the perimeter. The added reinforcement improves stability and creates a more forgiving response when the ball misses the center of the paddle. This setup provides enough rebound to hit aggressive drives and counters while maintaining the control needed for resets, drops, and other touch shots.

Warping Point pairs the core with a triple-layer raw T700 carbon fiber face. Its textured surface produces good grip on the ball, helping players create spin on serves, drives, slices, and returns. Increased dwell time contributes to smoother placement and gives the paddle a controlled feel when changing pace during a point.

The thermoformed unibody construction and EVA-reinforced edge contribute to the paddle’s solid, connected feel. An elongated profile increases reach and leverage, while the 5.5” octagonal cushion grip promotes secure handling, comfort, and sweat absorption during extended play. The 7.8-8.1 oz weight range provides a useful balance between maneuverability and stability for fast exchanges at the kitchen.

For customers comparing Warping Point equipment such as the Sophon pickleball paddle or other models from the brand, the Neon Gen 3 stands out as a balanced option rather than a paddle focused entirely on raw power. It is also UPA-A approved for competitive play.
