Why Choose Nomex Core Pickleball Paddles?

Nomex is one of the most trusted core materials in the industry, valued for its crisp response, fast energy return and lightweight handling. If your paddle line is built around power, speed and tournament-level performance, Nomex delivers the edge serious players are looking for.

01

Explosive Power Transfer

Nomex core delivers a fast and rigid energy return, helping players generate more power with less effort. Ideal for aggressive play styles where quick impact matters.

02

Crisp Acoustic Feedback

Each shot produces a sharp, satisfying pop that competitive players rely on for real-time feedback. The sound reflects both speed and control.

Lightweight and Fast-Handling

Despite its density, Nomex cores are lightweight and agile in motion. Players can swing faster and react quicker without losing stability.

Tough Under Pressure

Nomex cores are built to handle high-impact rallies and long training sessions. The material resists fatigue, delamination and softening over time.

05

Trusted in Tournament Play

Many pro-level paddles still feature Nomex for its consistency and explosive touch. It remains a go-to choice in competitive circuits worldwide.

Tailored for Power Players

Nomex is the preferred core for athletes who prioritise speed, force and high-tempo play. It helps brands build paddles that stand out on court.

pickleball paddle thickness - 222

Paddle Thickness Options

Fine-tune how your paddle feels in the hand and reacts on the court. Choose from 11mm, 14mm or 16mm builds to adjust pop, control and stability. Thinner profiles deliver faster swing speed with a more aggressive touch. Thicker options provide a steadier feel and enhanced precision for longer rallies.

pickleball paddle surface materials - 222

Surface Material Choices

Pair your Nomex core with the ideal surface for your brand's performance goals. Fiberglass offers a softer feel and flexibility for touch-based play. Carbon fibre brings stiffness and high-energy rebound for power players. Kevlar adds grit and durability for players who love spin and speed.

pickleball paddle shapes - 222

Shape & Dimensions

We offer three shape profiles to match your target users. Go with standard for well-rounded play, elongated for extra reach and power, or widebody for a larger sweet spot and beginner-friendly control. Each frame design affects paddle handling, balance and strike area. Choose the one that fits your brand's identity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about ordering custom polymer core pickleball paddles? Here are answers to some of the most common things our clients ask when working with us for the first time.

Yes. Nomex is known for its hardness and energy return, making it ideal for paddles that prioritise pop and responsiveness. Many performance-focused brands use Nomex for players who prefer speed and power over softness.

Our standard MOQ is 100 units per model. If you're still validating the design, we offer sampling services first to refine shape, thickness and surface before bulk production.

Absolutely. While the core is Nomex, we offer multiple face options including carbon fibre, fiberglass, and kevlar blends. Each delivers a different feel and performance balance.

Yes. Nomex is naturally louder and stiffer, but surface layering and core thickness allow us to fine-tune paddle response. We can prototype different builds for side-by-side testing.

We follow paddle specs that align with USAPA testing criteria. Upon request, we can help coordinate third-party compliance testing once your sample is finalised.

Yes. We support full UV printing across the face of your paddle, regardless of core type. You can upload logos, brand art or contact us for layout help during design.

You can. Many brands offer Nomex and polymer core paddles in parallel. We can manufacture multiple SKUs under one bulk order to suit different player needs.

Lead times depend on your order volume and spec complexity. Sampling usually takes 3–5 business days, and full production ranges from 15–25 days after approval.
