Pickleball Apes Pulse X Pickleball Paddle
Overview
The Pulse X is the newest evolution in the Pulse Series - slightly taller and slimmer with a 16.5" x 7.5" build that gives it a quicker, more maneuverable feel while extending the reach. The less wide profile also makes it a bit more aerodynamic, ideal for players who want fast hands and precise placement while still having access to pop.
The Pulse X features a Narrow-cell Honeycomb Core surrounded by dual-layer foam walls, expanding the sweet spot and adding a plush, stable feel on contact. It’s all wrapped in a triple-layer carbon fiber ring that reinforces the structure and eliminates any break-in period.
The hitting surface is made from Pickleball Apes’ Poly Aramid Fiber Weave - a textured, durable material built for spin and long-term consistency. At an average weight of 8.2–8.4 oz, the Pulse X hits that sweet spot of being fast in hand but still substantial enough to generate power.
The 16.5mm core thickness keeps the paddle grounded in control, while the 6.25" handle length is perfect for two-handed backhands. Comes standard with the Pickleball Apes Leather Performance Grip and a paddle cover for protection between matches.
