Beyond the Dink: Mastering the "Power Slice" with Raw Carbon Fiber Grit

Beyond the Dink: Mastering the "Power Slice" with Raw Carbon Fiber Grit

The Secret to 1500+ RPM Spins

If you want to know how to get better at pickleball, you have to look at your equipment's friction coefficient. In high-level play, a simple volley in pickleball isn't enough. You need the ball to "dive" or "kick" upon landing.

The Xephira Grit Advantage

Most paddles use a spray-on grit that wears off after a few weeks. Xephira uses a thermoformed raw carbon fiber weave. This allows you to "grab" the ball longer during how to hit a pickleball, creating devastating topspin and wicked slices.

  • The Power Slice: Keep the ball low in the kitchen, forcing your opponent to hit upward.
  • The Topspin Drive: Dip the ball at the opponent's feet, even from the baseline.

Our Pro Series is specifically balanced for players transitioning from "hitting" to "shaping" the ball. Experience the grip that the pros use to dominate the court.
