Are you ready?

The most significant innovation in pickleball since the transition from wooden to composite paddles. BluCore is the most advanced paddle core ever created - Over a year in the making to deliver unmatched durability, consistency, and performance.

BluCore's closed-cell expanded polypropylene (EPP) construction is the next evolution in paddle technology - stronger, more consistent, and built to last.

BluCore Technology allows for superior impact resistance, no core crush, a larger sweet spot, and is 10x more durable than traditional honeycomb.

The TriTech BluCore is a revolutionary paddle core technology designed to strike the perfect balance between power and control. At its heart lies a Kevlar honeycomb stratum, providing unmatched strength, durability, and shock absorption.

This central layer is strategically sandwiched between two layers of BluCore, a high-performance polymer engineered to enhance energy transfer while maintaining a responsive, controlled feel.

The result is a paddle that delivers explosive power on hard shots while offering the touch and precision needed for finesse play.

TriTech BluCore is only available in the 19mm Warrior BluCore paddles.
