In this video, Joseph breaks down the best pickleball paddles Wilson has made to date. The Tempo series uses a true widebody shape, 16mm of thickness, and raw carbon fiber to create a huge sweet spot with modern performance capabilities. The Pro model also utilizes thermoformed construction giving players access to pro level power without sacrificing forgiveness. The Blaze series is all about power and gets it from an elongated shape with an extended handle awesome for tennis players with two-handed backhands. The Blaze 13 is a classic sandwich style performance paddle (non-thermoformed), while the 13 pro and 16 tour use thermoformed construction to provide a little more power.
