Advanced Pickleball Paddles

Kahuna is built for players who want serious performance from every swing. With a raw carbon face and a tuned polymer core, this paddle delivers the spin, control, and speed advanced players need to attack, reset, and finish points with confidence.

Why Advanced Players Trust Kahuna

When rallies speed up and the margin for error gets small, you need a paddle that feels connected, predictable, and explosive on demand. Kahuna is designed for advanced and competitive players who want pro-level spin and control in a paddle that still feels smooth in the hand.

Ideal for high-level rec players, tournament players, and anyone needing pro-style responsiveness.

Construction & Paddle Tech

High-performance polymer core in 14mm and 16mm options
Kahuna’s core is tuned for a clean, responsive feel across the face. The 14mm option plays faster and more explosive for aggressive attackers, while the 16mm version adds extra stability and control for players who live at the kitchen line.

T700 raw carbon fiber surface
The gritty, tour-grade carbon face grips the ball for heavy spin and precise feedback. You’ll feel exactly where you made contact, helping you make quick adjustments during fast exchanges.

Optimized head shape and sweet spot
A refined shape and layup push the sweet spot into a large, reliable zone so you can swing freely without fearing mishits.

Reinforced edge guard and durable layup
Built to hold up through daily play, drilling, and tournaments, Kahuna’s construction keeps its performance longer instead of fading out after a few months.

How Kahuna Plays on Court

Kahuna feels fast, connected, and intentional in every part of the court. You’ll notice:

• Explosive drives and put-aways when you step on the gas
• Heavy, biting spin on serves, rolls, and passing shots
• Predictable touch for dinks, drops, and resets under pressure
• Quick hands at the kitchen, especially with the 14mm build

The overall feel is confident and precise—power when you want it, control when you need it.

Who Kahuna Is Made For

Kahuna is a strong match if you:

• Play at an intermediate-plus or advanced level
• Regularly play in competitive rec sessions, leagues, or tournaments
• Want to shape points with spin, pace, and placement—not just keeping the ball in
• Prefer a paddle that gives clear feedback rather than a super-soft, muted feel

If you’re ready for a paddle that keeps up with fast hands, smart patterns, and attacking play, Kahuna belongs in your bag.

Why Players Switch to Kahuna

• Pro-level spin potential – The T700 carbon face lets you load up serves, rolls, and thirds with reliable, heavy spin.
• Controlled power – Attack with pace without losing the ability to soften the ball when a rally turns into a hands battle.
• Confidence under pressure – A large, consistent sweet spot and stable core help you reset and defend when opponents turn up the heat.
• Dialed-in feel – Clean feedback through the handle so you always know how the paddle is responding to your touch.

Kahuna is the paddle you choose when you’re done guessing what your gear will do and want a setup that can grow with your most competitive game.

Need something a little more forgiving while you’re still building up to advanced play? Our Makai intermediate paddles offer the same spin-happy carbon feel with a more forgiving, control-first personality.

Kahuna Cool

I’m a big fan of the Kahuna E-14! It’s a great combination of a large sweet spot, solid feel, touch, spin, and power. Plus it has cool graphics!

Big Sweet Spot

Responsive, great touch, tons of spin available when you want it. The "sweet spot" seems to be almost the entire face of the paddle. Very well balanced too. It's going to up my game a lot. I opted for the E16 to get some extra control since I don't have any problem making power.
