The Crush FRDM 3 is a pickleball paddle that checks most every box in terms of performance, along with it being the longest paddle of the entire series at 16.3 inches. Thermo-Formed construction infuses the FRDM 3 with plenty of power, not to mention excellent tip-to-grip durability. The construction combined with a 16mm Polypropylene Core produces a substantial sweet spot, and affords a crisp, responsive feel, along with great vibration control. An average weight of around 8.0 ounces provides an additional facet of power and stability to the FRDM 3's performance. Harnessing this paddle's manageable power is a Raw Carbon Grit composite surface, which caters to easy access to spin, even without an aggressive swing to develop it. Maximizing the versatility of the FRDM 3's elongated design is a longer 5.3 inch handle which is ideal for controlling play with one or two hands on the paddle. Recreational and elite players alike who prefer the liveliness of a thermo-formed/elongated design, with a more control oriented core, and formidable spin potential will find the Crush FRDM 3 to be right in their "wheelhouse".
