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 one meticulously crafted paddle, 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.

Customer Reviews
I recently discovered this paddle and figured I'd give it a try through their demo program. The paddle turned out to be great... It's a really nice paddle and I was super impressed by the control of it. I was dialing in my third shot drops and dinks with no issues. It also has a good amount of spin and the paddle itself looks pretty cool with the graphics. The last thing I'll say is the customer service has been great as well. I had a few questions about the demo program before purchasing and then some about my order and each time they were super helpful. Great company and great paddle. I hope they come out with more products in the future.
Thanks Blake, we're glad you love the paddle and were able to take advantage of our demo program!
If you really want to improve your game, buy a wickle paddle!
Thanks Doyle, we completely agree!
Oh it was… amazing.. let me just give the highest praise to the team that develop it… I tried few other top competitors like selkirk, Joola, Vatic Pro, and they are great paddles but its over valued because of the marketing etc.
I like the paddle is very weight-balanced across all the entire paddle. Which the first thing that people compliment when I let people use it. Second, the grip is just amazing, right thickness and perfect fit.
But deserved all the attention and praise it needed.. 🫶🏻💚
Brian, we really appreciate your amazing review and are thrilled you love the paddle!
A tennis player for 48 years transitioning to pickleball. Had tried various paddles with obviously mixed results. The Wickle Elite really helps me mitigate those mixed results and has increased my consistency tremendously. The grip is perfect for me. The weight and distribution allow me to drive it or drop it. I have shots I didn't know existed. My game has improved tons and continues to do so. Paddle is quick through the air. Doesn't play as a given, it helps develop the areas your concentrating on such that they become legitimate weapons. The carbon fiber face is aggressive. It just does everything well for me. I have easy power, I have control. Pace and depth control are superb. Even the existence of a small shaft on the paddle make this stick special. They do so many small things big, and all the big things done right.
Juan, we love all the details you noticed about our paddle and really appreciate the amazing review! To hear how much it has improved your game validates exactly why we created the Elite I!
The design and performance features drew me to initially purchase this paddle. It was such a good decision. I can generate so much spin and power and the design looks even better in person. HIGHLY recommend.
Rafa, we greatly appreciate the review and recommendation!
