Enhance MPP Turbo with ArmorGrit
Our take on the MPP Turbo ArmorGrit
The MPP Turbo has been our No. 1 ranked budget paddle since its release, and now it’s grittier without a price increase. Enhance’s ArmorGrit combines a peel-ply carbon fiber surface with a proprietary abrasive coating that protects the texture and maintains spin over time, on the same full floating MPP foam core.

Is the MPP Turbo ArmorGrit worth $119.99?
Yes. At $119.99 it sits in the low price range, the same as the original MPP Turbo, and you get the added ArmorGrit surface for nothing extra. It remains one of the strongest values in pickleball.
Who should buy the MPP Turbo ArmorGrit?
Players who want full-foam power and spin on a budget, and anyone who liked the MPP Turbo but worried about its grit wearing down. The softer MPP center gives a springier feel than firm EPP foam. If you want a bigger sweet spot, Enhance also makes it in hybrid and widebody shapes.
Buy it if
- You want full-foam power under $130
- You want spin that holds up over time
- You like a springy, smooth foam feel
- You want elongated reach
Skip it if
- You need a UPA-A approved paddle
- You want a widebody sweet spot
- You want the firmest, poppiest foam feel
How does the MPP Turbo ArmorGrit play?
Power is high, with plenty of juice on counters and drives, and spin is near the top of the scale thanks to the new coated face. The soft MPP center lets the ball sink in for extra dwell on drops and flicks, and the 113 swing weight keeps the elongated shape manageable in hands battles.
What are the strengths and trade-offs of the MPP Turbo ArmorGrit?
Its biggest edge is durable spin added to an already strong value. The main cost is a softer feel that gives up a little pop to firmer foam paddles.
Strengths
- ArmorGrit face built for lasting spin
- Full floating MPP foam core at a low price
- Extra dwell time for shaping shots
- Same price as the original MPP Turbo
Trade-offs
- Softer feel gives up some pop
- USAP approved only, not UPA-A
- Elongated shape has a smaller sweet spot than widebodies
