Storage
Keep your paddle in a dry, temperature-controlled place, ideally indoors. Avoid leaving it in a vehicle, since extreme heat and cold will damage it over time.

Paddle face and edge guard cleaning
Wipe down your paddle after every session. Clean the edge guard with a damp cloth. For the paddle face, use a paddle eraser for quick spot cleaning, or a slightly damp cloth for a more thorough wipe.

The graphics on your paddle will fade a little over time. Don’t worry, that just means you’re out there putting in the work.

Grip care
Wipe your grip after every session. Sweat, grit, and oils from your hands build up, and regular cleaning helps the grip last longer. You can also add an overgrip of your choice. There are many options, and an overgrip protects the original factory grip.

Description

The adidas RX Carbon CTRL 2025 16mm is a raw carbon pickleball paddle built for defensive players who want control without giving up power. It uses a 16mm core and a raw carbon fiber face, with a large sweet spot that helps you keep the ball where you want it. If you spend most of your rallies at the baseline or the kitchen line, this is a paddle to consider.

Key Features

Spin Blade Max – rough raw carbon surface adds spin, making shots harder for opponents to handle
Power Extra Grip – a 5.5-inch handle gives a secure two-handed backhand grip and steady, accurate power on defensive shots
Classic Multilayers – layered carbon construction with a protective layer helps the paddle stay stable and durable
Perimeter carbon reinforcement – added edge support helps the paddle hold its shape through repeated hits

F.A.Q

Most of our paddles are USA Pickleball approved for sanctioned play. The approval status is listed in the product description above. Playing in a tournament? Double-check the official USA Pickleball approved equipment list, or email us at support@pickleplayglobal.com and we'll confirm for you.

Thicker paddles (16mm) feel softer and give you more control, great for dinks, resets and the soft game. Thinner paddles (13-14mm) are faster with more pop, great for drives and hand battles. Not sure? Most players start with 16mm.
