PADDLE NERDS ANON

TECH.

IT'S IN THE PADDLE.

Every SALT paddle is built to address specific performance problems -
control, stability, sound, feel.
This is where we show how we solve them.

Designed.

Tested.

Dialed.

NO SINGLE PADDLE TO RULE THEM ALL.

Different players need different things:

power, control, stability, sound, feel.

Those requirements don’t coexist peacefully.

Instead of a single solution, we choose a modular approach.

We focus on the tech stack, and deploy each piece only where it actually helps.

SmartWeight
Edge Enhancement

SmartWeight is our engineered approach to balance point and swing weight, configured during the build - not after the fact. Weight is distributed along the edge to emphasize specific performance traits, whether that’s maximizing power and momentum, dialing in control and touch, or prioritizing hand speed and agility. Different players. Different distributions. Same underlying system - no one paddle to rule them all.

Micro Grit
Textured Face

Spin doesn’t come from magic. It comes from consistency. Our Micro-Grit textured face is engineered to maintain reliable spin characteristics over time, not just for the first few sessions. No sprayed-on tricks. No short-lived bite. Just repeatable contact, shot after shot.

vibetech and eva core (mobile)_edited.jpg

Dual Wall EVA Core

The dual-wall EVA core is built for players who want stability without sacrificing feel. A reinforced inner polymer structure manages impact energy while the surrounding foam layers smooth out vibration. The result is a paddle that stays composed under pressure and doesn’t punish your hands for swinging hard.

EVA Unibody Design

This isn’t just a handle attached to a paddle. It’s one continuous structure that's been molded under immense heat and pressure. The EVA uni-body design integrates the handle and the foam injection directly into the core, improving energy transfer and reducing unwanted vibration. Fewer interfaces. Fewer weak points. Cleaner feedback where it matters, and a more dialed playing experience.

HIGH PRESSURE
THERMOFORMING

Our thermoforming uses heat and pressure to bond the paddle into a unified structure, reducing internal inconsistencies and improving overall stability. Fewer variables mean fewer surprises at contact. It’s not flashy, but it’s how you get predictable performance instead of hoping everything lines up.

Edgeless
Aerodynamic Design

Edges create drag. Drag slows things down. The unique angles of our edgeless paddles are a crucial detail for making "hands-battle" paddles. To dominate at the kitchen-line, your paddle should feel like a Valyrian steel "needle" (shoutout to Arya Stark). Our edgeless aerodynamic design streamlines the paddle’s profile to move more cleanly through the air, improving swing speed and agility, while reducing any extra wind resistance. Small gains add up - especially when physics is doing the math.

Abstract Black Waves

Advanced Materials

Carbon fibers, aramids, engineered closed-cell foams - each material earns its place. We select materials based on how they behave under real play conditions, not how impressive they sound on a spec sheet. If it doesn’t improve feel, durability, or performance, it stays on the cutting-room floor.
