The polypropylene (PP) core is one of the most popular choices for pickleball paddles due to its lightweight, durability, and ability to provide excellent control and power balance. One of the key design factors that influence paddle performance is the hole spacing (honeycomb cell size) in the PP core. Different hole distances impact the paddle's power, control, and feel, making it essential for players to choose the right configuration based on their playing style.
PP cores generally come in different hole sizes, ranging from 3mm to 13mm, with the most common options being:
1. Small Hole Spacing (3mm - 5mm)
‣ Characteristics: Denser honeycomb structure, more material per square inch.
‣ Performance: Offers excellent control, reduced vibration, and a softer touch.
‣ Best for: Players who prioritize control, touch shots, and defensive strategies.
‣ Characteristics: A balanced structure between density and spacing.
‣ Performance: Provides a good mix of power and control, with moderate energy absorption.
‣ Best for: Versatile players who switch between offensive and defensive playstyles.
‣ Characteristics: Wider spacing results in a lighter core with more flexibility.
‣ Performance: Enhances power and speed but may reduce control and create a slightly louder impact sound.
‣ Best for: Aggressive players who rely on power shots and fast-paced gameplay.
How to Choose the Right Hole Spacing Based on Playstyle
1. Control-Oriented Players (Precision and Soft Touch)
• Recommended: Small Hole Spacing (3mm - 5mm)
• Reason: Smaller cells provide better shock absorption and a softer feel, making it ideal for strategic placement and dinking at the net.
2. All-Round Players (Balanced Attack and Defense)
• Recommended: Medium Hole Spacing (6mm - 9mm)
• Reason: Offers a combination of touch and power, allowing for both finesse shots and aggressive strikes when needed.
3. Power Players (Aggressive, Hard-Hitting Style)
• Recommended: Large Hole Spacing (10mm - 13mm)
• Reason: Larger cells create a lighter core with more rebound, maximizing energy transfer for high-impact shots.
