The Elite I is the result of our efforts to blend striking design with exceptional performance, resulting in a paddle that's practically a Swiss Army knife on the court.
Featuring a forgiving, controllable, yet powerful feel from the polypropylene core and spin from the raw carbon fiber face that makes physics jealous, we’ve incorporated all the performance features an Elite player demands in an Elite paddle. Oh, and we also didn’t compromise on features players value, such as a grip long enough for two-handed backhands and well-balanced weighting that won't make you feel like you're training for an arm-wrestling contest between serves.
With the Wickle Elite I, you can trust that you’re getting a paddle engineered to be the best, as we're dedicated to delivering excellence through a small number of meticulously crafted paddles, driven by our extensive research into what players need and demand in a performance paddle.

A Scruffy Face
Akin to a man's scruff, the Elite I's gritty face utilizes precisely engineered multi-layer raw carbon fiber. It pushes USAPA surface roughness limits, ensuring maximum spin within approved standards.
Long Handle for Good Handling
Size matters and the Elite I's above average 5.5-inch length lets you grip with two hands. This allows for potent backhand returns and ensures both power and precision in every shot.
Built Like a Tank
Designed to withstand those acts of frustration after a bad shot. The Elite I boasts a durable unibody construction, which integrates the core and face throughout the entire paddle as one piece.
A Controlling Core
Play with a core that takes control of games. The Elite I's polypropylene core and carbon fiber face combination reduces vibration and offers unparalleled control, ensuring no unexpected dead spots during play.
Balanced Weight Like a Gymnast
Just like a gymnast on the balance beam, the Elite I's even weight distribution prevents excessive concentration in the head or handle, ensuring confident play whether driving, dropping, or volleying.
Attractive and Sporty
You no longer have to settle for the lesser of two choices. The Elite I marries cutting-edge performance with striking design, creating a paddle that's both visually captivating and functionally superior.
High Class Paddle, Middle Class Pricing
Be sharp, sophisticated, and dominate the courts while spending less. While competitors often charge $180-$300 for performance paddles, we offer premium quality, design, and performance at a reasonable price point. With Wickle, you can trust that you’re getting a paddle engineered to be the best, as we're dedicated to delivering excellence through one meticulously crafted paddle, driven by our extensive research into what players need and demand in a performance paddle.
Low Quality Has Left the Chat
The only time we cut corners is when hitting an ATP. We pride ourselves on manufacturing the highest quality paddle possible. We are able to do this by utilizing high quality equipment such as CNC Cutters and Laser Printers combined with high quality materials such as our polypropylene honeycomb core and multi-layer T700 raw carbon fiber face. This all means we can provide you with an exceptional paddle of exceptional quality every time.
