In the world of pickleball, paddle construction plays a critical role in performance. While most players focus on surface materials like carbon fiber or fiberglass, the core and edge foam technology are equally crucial in determining a paddle's feel, power, and durability. At Dore-Sports, a leading pickleball paddle manufacturer and one-stop accessory supplier, we specialize in advanced foaming techniques and custom engineering solutions to provide high-performance paddles tailored to diverse player needs.
Understanding Core Foam Technologies
The core of a pickleball paddle significantly influences its power, control, and touch. There are several foaming techniques used to enhance paddle performance:
🔹 Material: Polymer, Nomex, or Aluminum
🔹 Process: The honeycomb structure is thermoformed, creating lightweight yet rigid support for the paddle.
🔹 Performance: This method provides a consistent bounce and excellent control, making it popular for professional paddles.
🔹 Material: EVA, PU (Polyurethane), or Hybrid Composites
🔹 Process: Liquid foam is injected into the paddle core, expanding and hardening into a more solid yet flexible internal structure.
🔹 Performance: Offers a larger sweet spot, improved shock absorption, and customizable hardness levels.
🔹 Material: EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate)
🔹 Process: EVA sheets are pressed and heat-treated to create a high-density, impact-resistant core.
🔹 Performance: EVA cores generate higher ball rebound and power, making them ideal for aggressive players seeking extra speed.
At Dore-Sports, we customize core foams based on density, rebound properties, and compression strength, allowing brands to develop unique paddle characteristics.
Edge Foam Technology: Enhancing Stability & Playability
Edge foaming technology reinforces the paddle’s perimeter, offering:
🔹Increased Sweet Spot – More even energy distribution for balanced power and control.
🔹Enhanced Durability – Prevents edge cracking and delamination, extending the paddle's lifespan.
🔹Shock Absorption – Reduces vibrations, providing a comfortable feel for players.
🔹 Full-Frame EVA Foam Filling – Provides maximum rigidity, ideal for power players.
🔹 Partial Edge Foam Injection – Creates a balance between stiffness and flexibility, offering a mix of power and control.
🔹 PU Soft Foam Edge – Lightweight and absorbs impact effectively, reducing stress on the wrist.
Our Dore-Sports R&D team provides tailored edge foam solutions to meet different market demands, ensuring our clients get the best performance-enhancing designs.
Customizing EVA Foam Thickness for Different Play Styles
The thickness of EVA edge foam determines paddle performance characteristics:
‣ 3mm - 5mm: Offers quick ball response, suitable for fast-paced play.
‣ 5mm - 7mm: Provides a balance between power and control, ideal for intermediate players.
‣ 7mm - 10mm: Maximizes shock absorption and stability, recommended for control-focused and defensive players.
Dore-Sports allows full customization of EVA foam thickness, density, and hardness to create paddles that align with different player preferences.
