The Science

The Problem with Other Pickleball Paddles

Almost every city in the United States has had complaints about pickleball courts making noise next to condominiums or apartments. Until the invention of Quiet Play Paddles, all pickleball paddles had a common issue. When the ball hits the paddle, it makes a loud noise which is at a high irritating pitch to our ears. This high irritating pitch is causing major distress for homeowners across the country. 

Our Solution

Quiet Play Paddles uses the most up-to-date, innovative, and advanced materials and techniques to produce the most acoustically pleasing paddles in the world today. Using our patented technology, we make paddles other companies only dream of. Check out additional information about the cores and fibers we use.

The Core Differences

Tupelo- Tupelo which is used for our WhisperSpin Power is the strongest core commercially available. It has a long history in the marine (hull and decks) and automotive market (Corvette floor). Tupelo is completely renewable and provides the stiffness “modulus” for the added power. This means it’s not reliant on the fiber to carry the load.  The fiber still plays a role, but the core delivers the power.

Polypropylene Honeycomb- Polypropylene Honeycomb is used in our WhisperSpin Carbon-Pro and WhisperSpin Touch. Polypropylene honeycomb is typically not used in any structural laminates. Since PP honeycomb is plastic, it is compressible. This attribute adds to the touch and feel as the ball dwells a little longer.

Our Carbon Fiber

T700- Most major brands use Toray T700 standard modulus which they bond to a polypropylene honeycomb core.  This results is a paddle that loses it feel and stiffness over time. Quiet Play Paddles created a hybrids of T1100 carbon, Kevlar and aerospace grade fiberglass providing a stiff and light paddle with a tough surface. Our WhisperSpin Power and WhisperSpin Touch are a hybrid laminate that gives you the best of both worlds.
