Magneri Support
Frequently asked questions
General
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
