Our take on the Paddletek Tempest Veyra
The Temptest Veyra paddles — available in elongated and widebody options — feature patent-pending “dampening rods” along the edges that add perimeter weight to expand the sweet spot and create more of a plush feel. The paddles are also designed using a single foam core that creates a smooth, comfortable response off the face.
