Our take on the Duo Elongated
Enhance Pickleball got started as a company making training aids and producing instructional content.
Over the years they have dabbled in manufacturing paddles, but their main focus was their Dink Master training board and several other products meant to help players work on their game. That all changed in 2025, first with the release of the Enhance Gen 4.5 paddle and then the launch of the Enhance DUO elongated and widebody models late in the year.
The DUO is a 100% foam core paddle that has turned heads in the industry, proving that Enhance is capable of producing paddles that perform at or near the top of the market.
Is the Duo Elongated worth $174.99?
Yes. At $174.99 it sits in the mid price range, and its two-foam core gives you lively counters at the net plus genuine touch when you shape the ball out of the air. Few poppy paddles manage that combination.
Who should buy the Duo Elongated?
Players who want pop without losing touch on the soft game, including singles players. The EPP center and EVA perimeter blend control with explosiveness. If you want a bigger sweet spot and more maneuverability, the widebody version is a better fit.
Buy it if
- You want pop plus feel on dinks
- You hit aggressive flicks and attacks
- You play singles matches often
- You want a plush feel on resets
Skip it if
- You want the biggest possible sweet spot
- You want a lighter swing weight
- You need a UPA-A approved paddle
How does the Duo Elongated play?
Power is high but dialed back slightly from the most powerful foam paddles, and heavy topspin on serves and drives dips the ball into the court. The 119 swing weight feels solid, and the paddle absorbs pace comfortably on resets while staying lively at the net.
What are the strengths and trade-offs of the Duo Elongated?
Its biggest edge is the mix of pop and plush touch from two foams. The main cost is a high swing weight and a smaller sweet spot than the widebody.
Strengths
- Good pop in hands battles
- Real feel on aggressive dinks and attacks
- Heavy topspin on drives and serves
- Plush, absorbing feel on resets
Trade-offs
- High swing weight in the hands
- Less maneuverable than the widebody
- Smaller sweet spot than the widebody
