Rizen Apex 16mm Pickleball Paddle | Hybrid and Wide Body

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS VOTING ONLY - NO PURCHASE REQUIRED

Help us choose which Rizen Apex shape, Wide Body or Hybrid, to stock first if our partnership with Rizen is finalized.

This is a free vote, not a purchase or preorder. We'll announce our availability once confirmed.

The Rizen Apex 16mm Pickleball Paddle combines responsive power, precise control, and consistent spin with the stability and comfort of a Gen4 dual foam core. Available in Hybrid and Wide Body shapes, the Apex gives players two options to suit their playing preferences while sharing the same premium materials and core technology.

Built with EPP and EVA foams, the 16mm core helps reduce vibration, maintain a consistent sweet spot, and provide a stable feel during play. The Toray T700 raw carbon fiber face delivers spin, touch, and durability, while the reinforced woven textured surface is designed to maintain reliable control over time. An octagon handle with a vibration-dampening wrap adds comfort and grip confidence.

Both models feature lightweight, lead tape-compatible construction for personalized weight adjustments. Choose the Hybrid for its 16.2-inch length and 110–115 swing weight, or the Wide Body for its 7.9-inch width and lower 108–111 swing weight. We specialize in pickleball gear and paddles, and we are committed to offering authentic products and expert-level service to players of all levels.
