Paddle Care

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 AIREO Cyclone Guardian NanoGraph 16mm is a 16mm pickleball paddle built around a PulseFoam™ MPPE core and a NanoGraph™ T700 raw carbon fiber surface. It suits players who want a balance of drive power and touch control, with a larger effective sweet spot than a standard paddle. Its main difference is the Floating Foam Suspension, which lets the core move slightly on contact for a longer ball dwell time.

Key Features

  • PulseFoam™ MPPE core – faster rebound for explosive drives and strong fatigue resistance over thousands of hits
  • Floating Foam Suspension – longer ball dwell time and cleaner pop for quicker, more controlled reactions
  • Vibration control – reduced edge torque and high-frequency noise for a more comfortable feel
  • NanoGraph™ T700 surface – durable multi-layer face that helps maintain spin over time
  • Hybrid power-and-control design – power rises with swing speed while staying accurate on soft shots

Customer Reviews

F.A.Q

Is this paddle USA Pickleball approved?

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.

Which thickness should I choose?

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.

Can I return it if it doesn't feel right?

Yes, within 7 days of delivery, as long as the paddle is unused and still sealed in its original packaging. Tip: look the paddle over before removing the protective film or seal, because used or unsealed paddles can't be returned. See our Refund Policy for full details.

How fast will my paddle arrive?

Orders are processed within 2-5 business days, and you'll get a tracking number by email as soon as it ships. Delivery in the US usually takes 5-12 business days. Orders of $158.99 or more ship free.

Is this paddle authentic?

Yes. Every paddle we sell is 100% authentic. We never sell copies or replicas. This paddle is covered by the manufacturer's warranty against defects. If something goes wrong, email us at support@pickleplayglobal.com with your order number and photos and we'll help you with the claim.
