Engage X2

By The Kitchen Team | Sep 18, 2026

Our take on the Engage X2

The X2 is Engage’s second full-foam offering, following the Engage Profoam that was released in 2025. The new model features a “Quad Density” foam core and a new approach to the carbon fiber face, a combination that delivered great feel and elite-level spin in our testing.

It’s also producing results at the pro level, as pro player Eric Oncins switched to the X2 in early 2026 and has been playing great in both doubles and singles so far this year. He’s moved into the top 10 in men’s doubles and mixed doubles on the PPA Tour.

How We Tested

Our paddle reviewers (all 5.0+ players) work with other high-level players in their area to test paddles on a variety of shots. This testing involves several hours of drills and games in an effort to determine how the paddle impacts performance in real-world scenarios.

We use the Life Time LT Pro 48 pickleball for our testing.
