Question 1

What is "Thermoformed Unibody Construction"?

Accepted Answer

Traditional paddles glue the face to the handle, creating a structural weak point prone to snapping. Magneri paddles are thermoformed—meaning the face, edges, and handle are molded together under intense heat and pressure into a single, seamless unibody piece. This structural uniformity prevents handle breakage and provides superior power transfer.

Question 2

How long will the 100-Grit Raw Peel-Ply texture last?

Accepted Answer

Our 100-grit texture is physically pressed into the Toray T700 carbon fiber fabric during the heat molding process—it is not a cheap, sprayed-on gritty paint that rubs off after a few games. While all raw carbon paddles naturally experience subtle texture settling over extended months of play, our peel-ply design is engineered to deliver elite, tournament-grade spin (2,250+ RPM) for the long haul.

Question 3

What does the "Perimeter EVA Foam Injection" do?

Accepted Answer

During the thermoforming process, we inject high-density EVA foam completely around the inner walls of the edge guard. This foam expands to eliminate hollow pockets, dampens harsh vibrations before they reach your elbow, and ensures the paddle responds identically whether you strike the ball in the dead center or the outer edge.

Question 4

Both Magneri models have the exact same dimensions and weight. How do they perform differently? (copy)

Accepted Answer

The differentiation is entirely on the inside. The Magneri Strike features a high-density, 10x Expanded Polypropylene (EPP) engine that acts like a springboard, maximizing energy return for explosive power (9.5 rating). The Magneri Forma utilizes a premium 8mm Polypropylene (PP) honeycomb handle that deadens incoming pace, offering an extended dwell time for surgical precision and soft resets (10/10 control rating).

Question 5

Why is Toray T700 Carbon Fiber considered the industry standard?

Accepted Answer

Toray T700 is a Japanese-engineered, aerospace-grade carbon fiber renowned for its immense tensile strength and uniform weave. Unlike cheaper composite or fiberglass faces, Toray T700 doesn't degrade rapidly, ensuring your paddle face retains its structural integrity and structural energy return for hundreds of hours of heavy play.

Question 6

What is "Twist Weight" and how does it affect my game?

Accepted Answer

Twist weight measures a paddle’s resistance to twisting or rotating in your hand when you hit the ball off-center. A higher twist weight (like the Forma at 6.6) means the paddle is highly forgiving, drastically expanding the sweet spot to the absolute perimeter and preventing misfits from dying at the net.

Question 7

What does "Swing Weight" mean and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

Swing weight measures how heavy a paddle feels when it is in motion, dictated by how weight is distributed across the frame. A higher swing weight (like the Strike at 118) provides massive plow-through power and baseline stability. A lower swing weight (like the Forma at 114) reduces rotational drag, offering quicker hand-speed during rapid exchanges at the net.

Question 8

What is the difference between a 14mm and a 16mm paddle thickness?

Accepted Answer

Thickness dictates energy distribution. A 16mm core (like both Magneri models) provides superior vibration dampening, a more stable sweet spot, and an emphasis on control and plush feel. A 14mm core is typically stiffer and offers faster ball speed (pop) but sacrifices stability and forgiveness on off-center hits.

Question 9

Can I use a two-handed backhand with Magneri paddles?

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely. Both the Strike and the Forma feature an extended 145mm (5.7") handle length. This pro-tailored dimension provides ample clearance for a comfortable, clean two-handed grip without forcing your top hand to crowd the paddle face.

Question 10

Are Magneri paddles USA Pickleball (USAP) Approved for tournament play?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Our paddles are engineered precisely to strict USAP dimensional, material, and surface roughness metrics, so they can be officially used for any tournaments.
