Pickleball Paddle Review: S-Type Composite & Graphite Slammer

The Composite Slammer (the orange one shown) and the Graphite Slammer are 2 widely popular paddles from S-Type sports. The paddles have a smaller face than regular paddles with a 8" X 9" hitting surface. One of the key features that people like about these paddles is the long handle, which allows some of us to choke up on the paddle allowing greater control. I have heard from some former tennis players that they in fact look for a paddle with a longer handle. The Graphite Slammer weighs in at 6.0 oz. and in was one of the lightest in the sport. The Composite Slammer is still a rather lightweight paddle weighing only 6.5 oz. They both come standard with a Gamma thin overgrip. The orange Composite Slammer shown has Gamma Gel grip, that was added extra for a customer that needed a thicker grip.

The Composite Slammer sells new for $50 or new factory 2nd sells for $45.
The Graphite Slammer sells new for $55 or factory 2nd sells for $50.
