The best widebody pickleball paddles

The best widebody pickleball paddle is the Selkirk Boomstik Widebody at $333, because its sweet spot scored 98 out of 100, and the only paddle I've tested with a bigger one is approved by UPA-A only.

These are the 10 widebodies I'd buy right now, in the order I'd recommend them. A widebody already gives you the biggest sweet spot of the three shapes, so each card tells you what that paddle adds on top of it, who it's for and who should skip it. Three of the ten are approved by UPA-A only, so check that first if you play USA Pickleball sanctioned events.

    Why it's here and who it's for

    This is the widebody I'd buy. The Boomstik Widebody scored 98 out of 100 for sweet spot, and the only paddle I've tested with a bigger one is the Pegasus Power 2, which is approved by UPA-A only. So if you play USA Pickleball events, nothing forgives more than this. You don't give up pace to get it, either, since only 12 paddles I've tested have more pop. It's firm and stiff for a foam paddle, with that loud, hollow crack the Boomstik is known for, and it's exceptionally stable. The pop does make dinks take some precision until you adapt. It also comes with a lifetime warranty.

    Skip it if spin or price comes first for you, because only the EPP Turbo Widebody measured less than its 2,298 RPM on this list, and nothing here costs more.

    Why No. 1

    On the numbers, the Pegasus Power 2 below would be first, since it hits a little harder, spins more and costs $133.01 less. But it's approved by UPA-A only, with a 1 year warranty, so the Boomstik is my pick for USA Pickleball players. It's $333. Selkirk's code INF-STSPICKLEBALL adds a Selkirk gift card instead of lowering the price.

    5. ControlB72tied 30th

    Why it's here and who it's for

    If you want the most forgiving paddle there is and you don't need USA Pickleball approval, this is it. The Pegasus Power 2 scored 100 out of 100 for sweet spot, the biggest of any paddle I've tested. It's also one of only two paddles I've tested that score 90 or more for pop, spin and sweet spot at the same time. It still hits like a power paddle, because only four widebodies I've tested hit harder. It's moderately firm, but not as stiff as a Bread & Butter Loco, and the pace tracks your swing without any twitchy pop. It's also the quickest swinging of 11SIX24's four Power 2 shapes. Owners have reported easy power with control and spin in one paddle.

    Skip it if you play USA Pickleball sanctioned events, because it's approved by UPA-A only.

    Why No. 2

    It's second only because of approval and warranty. Next to the J3CR Crystal Blue below, the Pegasus has a clearly bigger sweet spot and a little more power and pop. The J3CR spins more, has a 6 inch handle and costs $24.49 less. The Pegasus is $199.99 with code STSPICKLEBALL.

    5. ControlB76tied 20th

    Why it's here and who it's for

    This is the widebody for spin, and it's the one I'd get for a two-handed backhand. The J3CR Crystal Blue measured 2,436 RPM, more than any other widebody I've tested. That spin lasts, too, because in my wear test, Honolulu's Crystal Blue lost about 1% of its spin over 75 games, the same as 11SIX24's HexGrit. Its 6 inch handle is the longest on this list. The Crystal Blue makes it a bit stiffer than the raw carbon J3CR, but it's still more plush than most durable grit paddles, and the sweet spot feels bigger. It's poppy at the net and quick in the hands.

    Skip it if you miss the center a lot, because its twist weight of 6.73 is the lowest on this list, so the face turns more on mishits.

    Why No. 3

    The Pegasus Power 2 above has a clearly bigger sweet spot. Next to the ArmorGrit Widebody below, the J3CR spins more and has the longer handle, while the ArmorGrit has a little bigger sweet spot, costs $75.51 less and is USA Pickleball approved, where the J3CR is UPA-A only. It's $175.50 with code STS10.

    Why it's here and who it's for

    If you need to stay under $100, this is the widebody I'd get, at $99.99 with code STSPICKLEBALL. Only seven paddles I've tested have a bigger sweet spot than its 93, and it measured 2,341 RPM. Enhance says the ArmorGrit coating over the face is the only change from its original MPP Turbo, and next to that original, it spins more. It's hollow and deep at contact, the usual MPP sound, and it's stable and forgiving on mishits. It also swings light, so your hands stay quick at the kitchen, and it hits hard on drives and serves.

    Skip it if you want the hardest hitting widebody for $100, because the EPP Turbo Widebody, sixth on this list, hits a little harder at the same price.

    Enhance put it on sale on October 5, 2026, and the original MPP Turbo Widebody is still sold at the same price.

    Why No. 4

    It drops below the J3CR Crystal Blue, which spins more and has the longer handle. Next to the RPM Q2 Widebody below, it has a clearly bigger sweet spot and clearly more control with about the same spin, for $125 less, though the Q2 has a little more power and pop.

    Why it's here and who it's for

    This is the widebody with the most pop you can buy, and it plays a lot like a Boomstik for $108.01 less. The Q2 Widebody scored 98 out of 100 for pop, and only three paddles I've tested have more. Only two widebodies I've tested hit harder, too. It's loud, boomy and hollow at contact, close to a sound-alike for the Boomstik, and it's very poppy off short strokes. Keep in mind it's a bit touchy, so small contact errors can send the ball longer or higher than you want. It swings light, which makes it strong in hands battles, and it comes with a lifetime warranty.

    Skip it if you fight pop-ups at the kitchen, because its sweet spot of 81 is the smallest on this list and its control is the second lowest.

    Why No. 5

    It sits below the ArmorGrit Widebody, which forgives clearly more. Next to the EPP Turbo Widebody below, the power is about the same, and the Q2 has a little more pop and more spin, while the EPP has a little bigger sweet spot, a little more control and a $125 lower price. The Q2 is $224.99 with code STSPICKLEBALL.

    Why it's here and who it's for

    This is the hardest hitting widebody you can buy, and it's $99.99 with code STSPICKLEBALL. The EPP Turbo Widebody scored 91 out of 100 for power, and no widebody you can buy right now hits harder. It's also one of only three paddles I've tested that score 85 or more for power, pop and sweet spot, and it's the cheapest of them. It's on the stiff side for a foam paddle, in the same family as the Bread & Butter Loco, with plenty of pop at the kitchen. It's predictable, with no hot spots, and it's the most stable of Enhance's Turbo shapes.

    Skip it if spin comes first, because its 2,284 RPM is the lowest on this list, and know that its 5.3 inch handle is tight for a two-handed backhand.

    Why No. 6

    It sits below the Q2 Widebody, which has a little more pop and more spin. The Jelly Bean 2 below is its opposite. The EPP has far more power and clearly more pop, while the Jelly Bean 2 spins more and has clearly more control for $60 more.

    5. ControlA88tied 5th

    Why it's here and who it's for

    This is the touch paddle on this list. The Pegasus Jelly Bean 2 scored 88 for control, the most here, and it's the only paddle I've tested that scores 85 or more for control, spin and sweet spot all at once. It also measured 2,375 RPM, and only one widebody I've tested spins more. It's soft and dense, much softer than the Pegasus Power 2, and it's quiet at contact. The ball sinks into the face before it comes off, and the low pop soaks up incoming pace, so it's excellent for dinking. Owners have reported the soft feel and the touch it gives them on resets and dinks.

    Skip it if you win points with counters and put-aways, because its power and pop are the lowest on this list, and it's approved by UPA-A only.

    Why No. 7

    It sits below the EPP Turbo Widebody because the EPP has far more power. Next to the Loco Standard below, it spins more and has a little more control, while the Loco hits clearly harder, is USA Pickleball approved and costs $25.66 less. The Jelly Bean 2 is $159.99 with code STSPICKLEBALL.

    5. ControlB79tied 13th

    Why it's here and who it's for

    The Loco Standard is the all-rounder on this list, with no weak score. It's one of only seven paddles I've tested that score 75 or more out of 100 for all five of my scores. Only four paddles I've tested have a bigger sweet spot than its 95, and its twist weight of 7.34 is the highest on this list, so it's the steadiest face here on mishits. It's firm and dense for a foam paddle, with plenty of pop at the kitchen, a step below a Boomstik, and the pace tracks your swing. Owners have reported power with control and better resets, and that it became their main paddle.

    Skip it if you hit a two-handed backhand, because its 5.3 inch handle is tight for two hands.

    Only the Black was in stock at Bread & Butter on October 14, 2026, and the Loco 2 Elongated is on pre-order, shipping November 4, 2026.

    Why No. 8

    It sits below the Jelly Bean 2, which spins more and has a little more control. Next to the Quanta Pro below, the Loco has a little bigger sweet spot and a little more control, while the Quanta has clearly more pop and costs $26.34 less. The Loco is $134.33 with code STSPICKLEBALL.

    Why it's here and who it's for

    This is a lot of pop for the money. The Quanta Pro R2.16 scored 97 out of 100 for pop, and only two widebodies I've tested have more, including the Q2 Widebody, which costs $117 more. The Quanta Pro R2.16 is $107.99 with code STSPICKLEBALL. It keeps the stiff, hollow feel of the original Quanta, and it's poppy off short strokes, but it's stable on mishits right out of the box, which is a clear step up from the original. It swings light and quick for a widebody, too. Owners have reported it as an upgrade on the original Quanta, with more pop and spin, and that it plays well without added weight.

    Skip it if you win from the baseline with drives, because its power is the second lowest on this list.

    Why No. 9

    It sits below the Loco, which has a little bigger sweet spot and a little more control. Next to the Aura Pro Widebody below, the Quanta has clearly more control and a little more pop, while the Aura Pro hits clearly harder and costs $44.11 more.

    Why it's here and who it's for

    This is the widebody for hitters who want a lot of pace in a light, fast swing. The Aura Pro Widebody scored 90 out of 100 for power, and only two widebodies I've tested hit harder. It also has the lightest swing on this list, so it's quick at the kitchen and strong on counters and fast exchanges. The ball leaves the face quickly, and it's poppy off short strokes, but in a controlled way. It's stable and forgiving on mishits, and it spins well, too, since only six widebodies I've tested measured more than its 2,343 RPM.

    Skip it if you need help on dinks and resets, because its control of 56 is the lowest on this list.

    Why No. 10

    It sits below the Quanta Pro, which has clearly more control. It holds the last spot over the Selkirk OMNI Widebody, which was here on October 4, 2026, because it hits clearly harder with about the same spin for $147.90 less, though the OMNI has far more control. The Aura Pro Widebody is $152.10 with code STSPICKLEBALL.

How I picked them

Four rules decide which paddles make the list and in what order.

  1. 1

    Every score comes from my own tests, run the same way on every paddle.

  2. 2

    I start with the most popular, best current widebodies, then put them in order by how they play for the price. Approval, warranty and handle length come after that.

  3. 3

    I checked stock and prices on each brand's own store on October 14, 2026, and all ten could be ordered that day. Every price here is with my code.

  4. 4

    "Steven's pick" means my own favorite in a spot the numbers alone wouldn't give it. "Budget pick" means an Enhance Turbo under $100 with my code.

How I test every paddle

Should you play a widebody?

A widebody is the most forgiving shape you can buy, and it isn't close. All 16 paddles I've tested with a sweet spot of 90 or more are widebodies. The typical widebody scores 83 for sweet spot and 76 for control. A typical hybrid scores 71.5 for sweet spot and 71 for control, and a typical elongated scores 52 for sweet spot and 45 for control. The widebody is steadier on mishits too, since nearly half the widebodies I've tested have a twist weight of 7.0 or more, against only four hybrids and one elongated.

The old knock on the shape was power, and the foam core is what changed that. The full foam widebodies I've tested have a typical power score of 76.5, far more than the rest, at 50 for power. The hard hitters keep their forgiveness, too. Of the 76 paddles I've tested that score 80 or more for power, the 13 widebodies keep a typical sweet spot of 86. The hybrids in that group keep a sweet spot of 73, and the elongateds keep a sweet spot of 51. Only six widebodies I've tested score 85 or more for power, and four of them are on this list.

What you give up is reach. The typical widebody is 16 inches long, against 16.5 inches for a typical elongated, and you notice that on lobs, overheads and stretched dinks. It's also the least popular shape, because a lot of players feel weird with one and want the reach and the more fluid swing of a hybrid or an elongated. That shows up in my testing, too, since only about a quarter of the paddles I've tested are widebodies. But it's the quickest shape to swing, with a typical swing weight of 108.8 against 117.6 for an elongated, and if you play doubles at the kitchen and miss the center more than you'd like, no shape helps you more.

Questions people ask

Is a widebody or elongated paddle better?

It depends on where you win your points. The typical widebody scores 83 for sweet spot and 76 for control, and the typical elongated has far less of both, at 52 for sweet spot and 45 for control. The elongated hits clearly harder, with a typical power score of 80 against 64.5. I'd take a widebody if you play most of your points at the kitchen or miss the center a lot, and an elongated if you want reach for singles and drives.

Do widebody paddles have less power?

The typical one does, with a power score of 64.5 against 80 for a typical elongated. The core matters more than the shape, though. The full foam widebodies I've tested have a typical power score of 76.5, far more than the rest, at 50 for power. The Enhance EPP Turbo Widebody scored 91 for power, and no widebody you can buy hits harder, for $99.99 with code STSPICKLEBALL.

Are widebody paddles good for beginners?

Yes, they're the shape I'd start most beginners with, because the extra sweet spot and control help the most while you're learning to keep the ball low. Eight of the ten paddles on my beginners list are widebodies. From this list, the Pegasus Jelly Bean 2 and the MPP Turbo ArmorGrit Widebody are third and fourth there.

Can you hit a two-handed backhand with a widebody?

Yes, if the handle is long enough. I look for 5.5 inches or more, and about three quarters of the widebodies I've tested have it. Eight of the ten picks here do. The Honolulu J3CR Crystal Blue has the longest handle on this list at 6 inches, and the Enhance EPP Turbo Widebody and Bread & Butter Loco Standard are the shortest, at 5.3 inches.

Which widebody paddles are USA Pickleball approved?

Seven of the ten on this list, which are the Selkirk Boomstik Widebody, the Enhance MPP Turbo ArmorGrit Widebody, the RPM Q2 Widebody, the Enhance EPP Turbo Widebody, the Bread & Butter Loco Standard, the Ronbus Quanta Pro R2.16 and the Friday Aura Pro Widebody. The 11SIX24 Pegasus Power 2, the Honolulu J3CR Crystal Blue and the 11SIX24 Pegasus Jelly Bean 2 are approved by UPA-A only.

What's the best widebody paddle under $100?

Both of my picks are Enhance Turbos at $99.99 with code STSPICKLEBALL, and it comes down to what you want. For forgiveness and spin, get the MPP Turbo ArmorGrit Widebody, with a sweet spot of 93 and 2,341 RPM. For pace, get the EPP Turbo Widebody, which has the most power of any widebody you can buy, but it spins less. Both are USA Pickleball approved.

  • The Enhance MPP Turbo ArmorGrit Widebody comes in fourth, and the Selkirk OMNI Widebody comes off. The ArmorGrit has about the same sweet spot and spin as the OMNI for $200.01 less. Every pick from the RPM Q2 Widebody down moves down one spot.
