Description
Enjoy all-around performance with a budget-friendly foam paddle your friends will ask you about : the new Pickleball Apes Joy S+. Most foam paddles follow the same formula - a single solid foam block with minimal structural refinement. The Joy Series takes a different approach. It's a full foam paddle built around a more intentional internal structure, combining higher-density EPP foam, reinforced perimeter support, and a precision diced sweet spot to manage energy transfer more effectively. The result is a paddle that delivers control, consistency, and a crisp response instead of an overly soft, unpredictable feel.
The new hybrid S+ shape is 6mm wider surface and 3mm shorter than the S shape, for a more forgiving sweet spot and faster hands.

Diced Core Technology
Precision incisions cut 25% deep from each side keep the middle whole while allowing the core to flex.
Foam Corner Padding
PU inserts for shock absorption and vibration dampening without creating a trampoline effect.
Carbon Foam Frame
A strong carbon fiber frame runs along the edge of the paddle, helping it stay stable on fast exchanges and reduces vibration - giving the paddle a more solid, reliable feel on every shot.
Thermoformed UniBody Design
Thermoforming is an advanced molding process that creates a unibody design, increasing the consistency and expanding the sweet spot of the paddle while adding more power.
