What it is?
Paddletek's update to the fan-favorite Tempest Reign Pro arrives with their new ICED Carbon Fiber surface, improving mightily upon an already amazing paddle. The Tempest Reign Pro V3 paddle helps you find the control and reach of the previous version, but with a surprise up its sleeve. The new ICED carbon fiber hitting surface is coated with Perma-Spin technology to help add spin to your shots like no Paddletek paddle has ever offered before. This texture lasts longer than other manufacturer's surface treatments, to ensure your slicing serves and cut volleys have as much spin on them a year later as they did the day you took your V3 paddle out of the box. As you look closer at it, you will see it shares many attributes with its predecessor. The elongated 16.5" x 7.5" proportions are carried over, combined with the 5.25" long handle to provide you with reach near the net and extra leverage (meaning, power) on your groundies and overheads. Also making a triumphant return is the choice of a small (4-1/8") or medium (4-1/4") handle circumference, as well as Smart Response Technology and a control-oriented 14.3mm (0.563") thick polymer honeycomb core. This honeycomb core limits vibrations and ensure predictable response from the large sweet spot, while the Smart Response Technology helps this paddle play more quickly and powerfully than you might expect. The Tempest Reign Pro V3 Paddle from Paddletek Pickleball introduces ICED Carbon Fiber technology to its already trusted elongated shape, for players who enjoy reach and control, but have introduced a frustrating degree of spin into their game.
