The Unleash Series is here, and it's our first line built around Gen 4 foam-core construction. It launches with two paddles that feel almost nothing alike on purpose: the GhostX and the Fast Flow Pro. Here's what each one actually does, and why we built them so differently.
Meet GhostX: Built for Speed and Stability
The GhostX runs a Gen 4 full-suspension foam core: an MPP10 power foam center wrapped in a full EVA suspension halo, with a PP8 honeycomb section pulling extra mass out of the handle. The result is a swing weight of 111.03, the lowest in the Unleash Series. No paddle in our lineup gets from your hip to the ball faster.
This paddle is built for all-court players and power hitters who want stability, along with anyone dealing with arm issues who prioritizes durability, forgiveness, and a muted, absorbent response over sharp feedback. The suspension design gives you a larger sweet spot, a more consistent structure, and reduced vibration, which makes it easier to trust on resets, blocks, and off-center reaches. The trade-off is that you give up some of the crisp pop you'd get from a Gen 3 build.
Meet Fast Flow Pro: Built to Attack
The Fast Flow Pro takes a different approach entirely. It pairs a thinner 14mm PP8 honeycomb core with a full perimeter halo of TPE, the most elastic material in our lineup, turning the entire edge into a rebound engine. It doesn't wait for the game to come to it. It goes to the game.
This is a Gen 3 paddle, and it's built for aggressive players and control specialists who prioritize explosive power, crisp feedback, and a lively, connected feel for rapid counters, drives, and spin shots. Players who reach for this paddle value immediate responsiveness and are willing to accept a smaller sweet spot, and the core crushing risk that comes with any honeycomb-based build over time, in exchange for that superior tactile feedback and fast energy return.
Why Launch a Gen 3 Paddle Alongside Our First Gen 4?
It might seem odd to launch a Gen 3 paddle in a series built around Gen 4 technology, but the two generations genuinely suit different players and, in some cases, different bodies. Gen 3 rewards players chasing crisp feedback and explosive shot-making. Gen 4 rewards players who want a larger sweet spot, less vibration, and more forgiveness, including players managing arm issues who need that muted response. The Unleash Series isn't about picking the newer generation by default. It's about picking the feel that matches your game.
What Else Is in the Box
Both paddles share a few things: a thermoformed unibody construction, a T700 unidirectional carbon fiber face, and USA Pickleball approval. Both measure 16.34 inches by 7.48 inches with a 4.25 inch grip circumference and 140mm grip length, and both weigh in at 230 grams, plus or minus 5. Every pre-order also includes a free neoprene cover, free shipping and returns, and SiliGrip Ringz onboard.
Availability
Both paddles are open for pre-order now. The Ghost X comes in Gray or White for $195.95. The Fast Flow Pro comes in Pink or Green for $174.95. Both are expected to ship in late August 2026.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the main difference between GhostX and Fast Flow Pro?

Who should buy the GhostX?
All-court players, power hitters who want more stability, and players managing arm issues who need a more forgiving, lower-vibration paddle.
Who should buy the Fast Flow Pro?
Aggressive players and control specialists who want crisp, immediate feedback for fast counters, drives, and spin shots, and who don't mind trading some sweet spot size for that responsiveness.
When do they ship?
Both are available for pre-order now, with an expected ship date in late August 2026.
Final Thoughts
GhostX and Fast Flow Pro aren't two versions of the same paddle, they're two different answers to two different questions. If you want stability, forgiveness, and a gentler feel on your arm, GhostX is the one to look at. If you want crisp feedback and a paddle that goes looking for the next attack, Fast Flow Pro is built for you. Both are open for pre-order now.
