The adidas ADIPOWER PRO Edition ATTK 16mm Pickleball Paddle gives us that extra layer of control and stability when we want to harness our powerful potential without losing touch. Like its thinner 14mm sibling, it carries the same elongated 16.5” build and 5.5” extended handle, but the thicker 16mm PB Honeycomb LD core changes the way it plays. The added depth absorbs more shock, pairs beautifully with adidas’ TriFoam construction for a stable feel, and leaves us feeling in command whether we’re blocking a drive or rolling a perfect reset. The Raw carbon fiber face still delivers sharp spin, but now with a touch more forgiveness and added dwell time built in.
Right out of the box, the ADIPOWER PRO Edition ATTK 16mm feels like a paddle that wants to do it all. It swings in a comfortable 8.0-ounce midweight range, offers a vibration free strike with the Power Extra grip, and is equally ready to attack or absorb depending on how the rally unfolds. With its dual USAP and UPA-A certifications, it’s primed for competitive play at the highest levels. If the 14mm version is all about quick strikes and raw pace, we’ve found the 16mm to be its steadier counterpart.
