CHIEF SPORT ELITE: The best performance paddle on the German market

The CHIEF SPORT ELITE is the performance paddle for ambitious and advanced pickleball players seeking maximum control, stability, and power. As a USA Pickleball Approved Paddle, the ELITE is authorized for official national and international tournaments. It thus combines professional tournament suitability with a construction specifically designed for performance.

EPP5 Dual-Foam-Core for control, power, and stability

The heart of the CHIEF SPORT ELITE is the innovative EPP5 Dual-Foam-Core, a strategically structured double-foam core. This construction enlarges the sweet spot and makes the paddle particularly forgiving on off-center hits.
At the same time, the dual-foam core provides a balanced combination of control on dinks and defensive shots as well as explosive power on speed-ups and smashes. The foam structure was also developed for high stability and consistently strong performance even under intense load.

Carbon Fiber/T700 for spin and precise ball control

The hitting surface made of Carbon Fiber/T700 supports a direct and precise feel. Combined with the 16 mm core, the ELITE is designed for controlled ball placement, stable volleys, and powerful offensive shots.
The dimensions of 41 cm length and 18.8 cm width offer a balanced hitting surface for reach, stability, and control. With a thickness of 16 mm, the ELITE is particularly designed for a controlled, stable, and comfortable feel.

111.3 swingweight for power and assertiveness

With a weight of 230 g and a swingweight of 111.3 kg·cm², the CHIEF SPORT ELITE brings plenty of mass into the shot. This supports stability during fast rallies, powerful drives, and forceful speed-ups.
The twistweight of 6.0 kg·cm² describes the paddle's torsional stability. As a result, the ELITE remains stable and controllable even on off-center hits. The PBCoR value of 0.42 represents efficient energy transfer upon ball contact and supports the combination of power and explosive acceleration.

Ergonomic grip for direct handling

The 14 cm long handle and the grip circumference of 10.8 cm allow for a direct connection between hand and paddle. This supports quick reactions at the net, controlled wrist movements, and precise racket guidance for dinks, blocks, and volleys.

Developed for professional pickleball

The CHIEF SPORT ELITE is the flagship model from CHIEF SPORT and is used by PPA player Paul Klär. It is therefore designed not only for ambitious club players but also for the demands of professional pickleball.
Conclusion: CHIEF SPORT ELITE: the USA Pickleball-certified performance paddle from Germany with EPP5 Dual-Foam-Core, Carbon Fiber/T700 hitting surface, 0.42 PBCoR, 111.3 kg·cm² swingweight, and 6.0 kg·cm² twistweight. For players looking for more control, more stability, and more power on the court.
