Why Axiom

The next evolution of the Alpha Pro.

Axiom was engineered for players who prefer the responsive Gen3 feel and want an all-out performance paddle with more pace on drives, stronger put-aways, and greater acceleration on every full swing.

Five purpose-built technologies work together as one complete system, providing the power to attack, the dwell time to control softer shots, and the stability to perform confidently under pressure.

Core Technologies

✔ FusionCore™ Dual-Layer Foam + Polymer Core — A precision-engineered polymer core combined with dual-layer foam for longer dwell time, greater responsiveness, and explosive yet controlled power.

✔ ArmorGrit™ Permanent Surface — Patent-pending grit permanently infused into the carbon fibre face rather than simply coated over it, delivering exceptional spin and longer-lasting durability.

✔ Precision Balance System™ — Research-driven weight distribution strategically positions every gram for ideal balance, stability, forgiveness, swing speed, and manoeuvrability.

✔ ArmorCarbon™ Face — Premium carbon fibre engineered specifically for the ArmorGrit™ process to maximise consistency, responsiveness, feel, spin, and durability.

✔ ComfortFoam™ Handle — A completely redesigned foam grip system that improves comfort, reduces vibration and hand fatigue, and provides a more confident connection to every shot.

Choose Your Shape

✔ Elongated — Power & Reach. The 16.5-inch length and extended 5.5-inch handle provide additional leverage, baseline power, and space for a two-handed backhand.

✔ Widebody — Control & Forgiveness. The wider 8-inch face creates a larger sweet spot with improved stability for resets, fast exchanges, and confident net play.

Choose Your Thickness

✔ 14mm — Faster and more responsive, with additional pop for aggressive attacks and quick hands.

✔ 16mm — Enhanced control, stability, dwell time, and a more connected feel on every shot.

Available Colourways

✔ Red Flare

✔ Royal Blue

✔ Fusion Sunset
