The Kuro Thicker Core Paddle brings genuine control-focused performance to players who don't want to spend three figures to get it. Built around a 16mm polymer honeycomb core, the same core thickness you'll find in premium paddles costing two or three times as much, the Kuro is designed to soften incoming pace, absorb hard drives, and give you the confidence to reset rallies from the kitchen line.

The thicker core is the story here. A 16mm core creates a larger, more forgiving sweet spot and a plusher feel at contact, which means off centre hits stay in play and touch shots like dinks and drops land where you intend them. Paired with a graphite composite face, the Kuro offers consistent, predictable response whether you're blocking at the net or working the ball around from the baseline.

At an average weight of 8.0oz with a standard 16 x 8 inch profile, 5 inch handle and medium 4.25 inch grip, the Kuro suits the widest range of players: beginners building their fundamentals, improvers stepping up from a starter paddle, and club players who want a reliable control paddle without the premium price tag.
