Our paddles are fully customizable in terms of grips, weights, and sizes, with complete freedom to personalize materials, graphics, and colors. Based on your specific needs, we will collaboratively determine the ideal paddle core, surface material, and manufacturing process.
The paddle surface material is paramount to feel, power, spin, and durability. We offer a variety of materials for you to choose from, which can be combined with custom designs and textures to achieve product differentiation, precisely meeting the needs of your target market and price points.

Control stability is weaker, but features better forgiveness and a larger sweet spot; ideal for novice or casual players.
Carbon Fiber
Strong, lightweight, with high stiffness for direct power transfer.
Precise control, solid feel; the ideal choice for competitive and high-performance players.
Kevlar + Carbon Hybrid
Combines strength with light weight, excellent impact resistance, good vibration dampening, and a softer feel.
Balances power and control with moderate stiffness; suitable for control-oriented technical players.
Titanium + Carbon Hybrid
High stiffness and strength from titanium for more direct power transmission and a focused sweet spot.
Relatively lower forgiveness, but offers precise control and a refined, solid feel; suitable for aggressive players seeking power and stability.

Leverage ApexonSport’s professional custom service to create exclusive pickleball paddles that elevate your brand value and leave a lasting impression on your customers. From the initial sample to the final bulk delivery, we will keep you informed on all progress and provide excellent customer service and support throughout the entire process.
We will have an in-depth consultation with you to understand your custom needs, including paddle specifications (size, shape, thickness, core material), surface texture, edge guard, logo, and grip color.
Our design team will create a digital mock-up of the paddle based on your specs and logo requirements for your review. We also provide design templates to assist you with your logo.
Once the digital mock-up is approved, we will produce a pre-production physical sample for your review. This ensures you can confirm the sample’s quality, design, and feel meet your exact expectations.
After you formally approve the sample, we will begin full-scale production. You can order based on your required volume; our flexible MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity) settings help you avoid unnecessary costs.
Our professional QC team will conduct multiple, strict inspections on every batch, both during and after production. This includes checks for playability, durability, and consistency to ensure all finished products meet our high standards.
We will securely package the custom paddles according to your confirmed requirements. Our logistics management team will handle all shipping matters to ensure your order is delivered to the designated address accurately and on time.
ApexonSport offers the two main pickleball paddle manufacturing processes—Cold-Pressed and Thermoformed Unibody—to meet your specific budget and market positioning.
The face materials (Fiberglass/Carbon fiber) and the core (PP honeycomb) are bonded using a room-temperature adhesive and mechanical pressure. No heat is required; the paddle is pressed and cured for 2 to 4 hours.
Construction: A high-pressure, low-temperature process results in a softer face with excellent toughness and elasticity.
Durability: Superior toughness provides high impact resistance and makes the paddle less prone to cracking.
Performance: Provides a soft, plush, and comfortable feel with a strong “ball-bite” (long dwell time). Highly forgiving for control and spin.
Ideal For: Beginners, casual players, and recreational use.
The face materials (Carbon fiber/Kevlar/Titanium) are unibody molded with the honeycomb core using high heat and pressure in a specialized mold. The paddle edge is reinforced to ensure a tight, integrated structure.
Construction: High-temperature, high-pressure molding creates a stable, seamless unibody structure with a reinforced edge.
Durability: Features a rigid, highly wear-resistant surface for a “crisp” feedback on impact.
Performance: Delivers a direct, responsive feel. Offers high-precision directional control for spin and accuracy.
Ideal For: Professional players, advanced competitors, and users seeking maximum performance.
ApexonSport’s pickleball paddle product line is designed to meet the needs of every player. Discover how our Gen 1 through Gen 4 series have evolved in terms of construction, feel, control, and power, helping you select the perfect paddle.
GEN 1 paddles started with solid wood. Through basic cutting and layering, , they are no longer in the mainstream market.
Gen 2 introduced the polymer honeycomb (PP) core with a fiberglass or carbon fiber face. Cold-pressed into the classic “sandwich” build, they offer a soft, forgiving feel with easy control. Perfect for beginners, but lacking offensive power.
Gen 3 paddles are thermoformed into a single piece. Foam-injected edges enhance durability, expand the sweet spot, and dampen vibration for a stable, comfortable hit. This build boosts power while maintaining good control, suiting intermediate players.
Gen 4 enhances the design with TFP technology, injecting high-density foam into the junction of the handle and paddle face. With upgraded materials, it dramatically increases power while striking a perfect balance of power and control, making smashes and drives feel effortless.
Gen 4 full-foam paddle features a hot-pressed, unibody foam structure that tackles the two biggest flaws of traditional honeycomb paddles: inconsistent power and fragility. This new design delivers focused energy, pinpoint control, extreme durability, and a massive sweet spot. Furthermore, a unique surface material generates significantly more spin and ball grip.
A paddle’s finish is crucial for both performance and style. Our surface technologies are designed to give your product line a clear advantage, focusing on spin, control, and lasting, vibrant graphics.
This technology applies high-resolution patterns directly onto the paddle. We use premium imported inks to ensure the colors are exceptionally vibrant and durable, resisting fades over time.
This is our high-performance textured finish. A fine, gritty layer is sprayed over the UV print, creating a high-friction surface. This technology is designed to grip the ball, significantly boosting spin and allowing for precise shot control.
The ideal choice for your premium paddle lines. This method applies bold, rich colors that resist fading and peeling. It also adds a tough, durable layer of protection against chips and scratches from heavy use.
