Summary
The Pulse E by Pickleball Apes is an elongated paddle with a 16.5mm polypropylene honeycomb core. This core material is known for its balance of power and control. The face is composed of Kevlar and carbon fiber, materials often associated with durability and responsiveness. Weighing 8.3 oz with a 6.25-inch grip, it accommodates two-handed backhands. The longer grip may also appeal to players with larger hands. Its swing weight of 127 is considered high and may provide more power, but could also reduce maneuverability for some. The 5.85 twist weight suggests moderate torsional stability. The manufacturer's data suggests above-average drive and volley speed, and average spin. This paddle might be suitable for intermediate to advanced players seeking a power-oriented paddle with decent control. The elongated shape may offer a larger sweet spot.
