Wild Monkeys Caesar Ghost Elongated Midweight Paddle
This paddle combines the best features of the Caesar 3K (elongated, 16mm core) with the spin potential of a raw T700 carbon fiber face enhanced by “carbon cloth” friction technology. Caesar Ghost is finished with the PROLITE Phantom Grip, which has a more subtle color profile and more cushion and tackiness than its diamond counterpart.

The Ghost Series is hand wrapped with the PROLITE Phantom Ultra Grip, providing the ultimate combination of tackiness, comfort and moisture control in pickleball. The perforated design with ultra-absorbent backing channels sweat away from palms for better traction and confidence even in hot and sweaty conditions.

Falcon Wide Body Raw Carbon Fiber Pickleball Paddle
Lightning-fast paddle with the spin of raw carbon fiber enhanced by “carbon cloth” friction technology. Falcon has potential for max swing speed and plenty of power like the Peregrine Falcon for which it’s named and designed, nature’s fastest animal and one of its most elite predators.

Spin is the priority in the raw carbon fiber series, with silk printed lines designed for minimal interference on the gritty carbon fiber surface enhanced by “carbon cloth” friction technology. Falcon paddles are hand wrapped with the PROLITE No Sweat Diamond Grip, bringing unrivaled comfort, durability and moisture control to your paddle handle. The diamond punch out design with ultra-absorbent backing channels sweat away from palms for better traction and confidence even in hot and sweaty conditions.

Nightshade Carbon-E 3k" Elongated Midweight Carbon Fiber Paddle
Beautiful and dangerous like the toxic plant for which it’s named and designed. Nightshade Carbon’s wide body and elongated shapes are both 7.8 oz with 13.5mm core and 5 in handle. This carbon fiber 3k paddle lives on the lighter side of midweight (before grip customizations), increasing potential swing speed and reducing fatigue without eliminating opportunity for two handed backhand. And the 13.5 mm core makes for plenty of put-away power when the time is right.

The 3K Series is upgraded for more spin with carbon fiber 3k twill and “carbon cloth” friction technology. They are hand wrapped with the PROLITE No Sweat Diamond Grip, bringing unrivaled comfort, durability and moisture control to your paddle handle. The diamond punch out design with ultra-absorbent backing channels sweat away from palms for better traction and confidence even in hot and sweaty conditions. Six colors and additional customizations are available through www.wildmonkeyspb.com. All of this AND a lifetime warranty!
