Spin-friendly texture and a softer feel justify 2\u20133x the retail price of fiberglass.<\/p>\n<h2>Full foam core paddles<\/h2>\n<p>The fastest-growing niche. Gen-3 style full foam cores remove the honeycomb for a plusher, more durable paddle \u2014 a strong differentiator for brands launching in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>We produce all three constructions in-house in
