The NEW ALPHA Paddle has arrived, Engage's Performance Thermoformed Paddle Designed for Control & Spin (with plenty of power too)!

Built for control & spin, while still delivering plenty of power, it’s designed to effortlessly keep the ball in play and place it exactly where you want it. It features our Friction Fiber Carbon Skin for long-lasting grit (4x longer lasting) and a TrueStrike Polymer Core for a consistent, responsive feel. Reinforced with a Carbon Frame, Edge Foam Barrier, Response+ Foam, and Fusion Control Layer, it’s all brought together with a Thermoformed UNIBODY Design for maximum stability and durability.

New Core, New Skin, More Power, More Spin  –  The Alpha.

Reviews

Great paddle. . perfect condition for “used”

"Improved control, but still plenty of power. A great deal, since I got it used. Live the new paddle Looks like it was never played with. Only complaint: glacial order placement and shipping. Took a long time to leave the factory, then long again to go UPS and the local post office."

— Hana W. (5/5)

Engage Alpha - Slightly Used

"I decided to order a slightly used paddle based on positive reviews. When I took the paddle out of the plastic sleeve, I was ecstatic to see the paddle face had no sign of wear whatsoever- zero blemishes or ball marks! There was a tiny scuff on the top edge guard that’s purely cosmetic. The paddle plays as new with incredible spin and control, power is there too. Thank you, Engage!"

Alpha Paddle

"I've been playing pickleball for 5 years. My first paddle was from Engage and I have never thought about buying another brand. I like the Alpha a lot, great control and pop. I also have an Alpha Pro. I alternate between both depending on court and the ball being played. I also really appreciate your local rep, Greg Boyett. He keeps me updated on all the new paddles that you guys are rolling out."

— Saul G. (5/5)

Worth the moneys!

"This is my new favorite paddle! I tried the Alpha Pro 16mm and it was just too hot for me. The power was great, but the control wasn't there. I love the touch and feel of the Alpha and the grit is insane."

— Jack P. (5/5)
