Nightshade

Style meets precision in the Gherkin Nightshade, a paddle built for players who want to dominate every point. Featuring a CFC (Carbon Fiber – Fiberglass – Carbon Fiber) layered construction that delivers a smooth and connected experience that excels in responsiveness and feedback of a well balanced, all court option. The 14mm polymer honeycomb core with our new 10mm wide cells delivers a thinner, faster profile that feels unlike any other 14mm paddles on the market. The Nightshade lineup has a solid and stable, balanced profile across the board for power, pop, and control with dwell time to feel connected to the ball with immediate feedback on contact. 

Wrapped in a striking blue and purple gradient TPU edgeguard, the Nightshade doesn’t just perform—it makes a statement. Finished with our new polyurethane handle inserts for all-day comfort and confident handling, the Nightshade is your ultimate weapon on the court.
