Paddles featured in this video:
Enhance MPP Turbo
Use code “KITCHEN” at checkout for $20 off.
The MPP Turbo uses a full floating foam core with an MPP foam center and an EVA foam ring around the perimeter. MPP is a softer foam, which creates a more springy and smooth feel than the EPP Turbo models and many other full-foam paddles on the market. The MPP/EVA construction is very similar to the Luzz Pro 4 Inferno.
“The Turbo line focuses on one thing: maximum performance at an accessible price,” according to Enhance. “Instead of chasing experimental manufacturing processes, we optimized construction to create a paddle that competes with premium models without the premium cost.”

Luzz Glider
Use code “KITCHEN” for 15% off!
The all-new Luzz Glider comes in a hybrid shape that has a very low swingweight, making it extremely maneuverable in hands battles at the kitchen line. It's competitive in terms of performance with several paddles that are twice the price or more.
Friday Aura
Use code “KITCHEN” at checkout for $10 off.
The Aura is probably the softest feeling foam paddle we have played with to this point, which fills a need in a market dominated by stiff and overly powerful foam paddles. It was a refreshing change of pace — it’s easy to move through the ball confidently without fear of popping it up too high and we had total control over where we were placing the ball.
Vatic V-Sol Pro
Use code “KITCHEN” at checkout for $10 off.
Featuring a full-foam core with an EVA foam perimeter, Vatic's latest release delivers big baseline power when you want it while maintaining feel and consistency in the transition zone and at the kitchen line.
11SIX24 Vapor Jelly Bean
Use code “KITCHEN” for $10 off!
This paddle is designed for ultimate control and is a great option for players who are starting to move up in level and take the game more seriously. The Vapor shape combines a great sweet spot with good reach and maneuverability.
