Warping Point has taken the Nightblade in two different directions with the brand-new Nightblade 01 and Nightblade 02, which were released this month. Both are power-focused paddles, but they use different foam constructions that give them noticeably different feels and play characteristics.

In our video review, we break down both versions of the Nightblade, including the build, measured specs, feel, power, spin, and how they compare on the court.

  • The Nightblade 01 uses an MPP foam core with a TPE edge and is the more aggressive and powerful option.
  • The Nightblade 02 uses an EPP core with an EVA edge and delivers a more connected, controlled feel.

Both paddles feature Warping Point’s Aero Fusion surface, a 5.5-inch handle, and a perimeter foam structure designed to improve stability and the sweet spot.

The biggest question is which version makes more sense for your game.

  • If you want more power and prefer a dense, solid and muted feel, the Nightblade 01 is probably the better choice.
  • If you prefer more ball feedback, a more connected feel and slightly lower swing weight, we’d lean toward the Nightblade 02.

At $120 before discount with the early bird pricing, these are also positioned at a really approachable price point for the performance you’re getting.
