Holbrook Fuze Elongated 16mm Pickleball Paddle

If you want the reach and leverage of an elongated shape but do not want the liveliest, quickest rebound in the family, the 16mm Elongated Fuze is the smarter pick. It keeps the same dual density foam core platform used across the Fuze line, then adds thickness to slow the response slightly, increase dwell, and make the face feel steadier on blocks and counters. Compared to the 14mm Elongated, you get a more settled ball, better reset confidence, and a little more forgiveness when contact drifts away from center.

Looking across the full four paddle Fuze lineup, control and forgiveness stack up like this: Widebody 16mm offers the most forgiveness and stability, followed by Hybrid 16mm, then Elongated 16mm, with Elongated 14mm being the fastest and most pop forward. That places the 16mm Elongated squarely in the middle of the family. It is built for players who want elongated reach and heavier plow through, but still prefer a calmer response than the 14mm when points speed up at the kitchen.

Key Features
