Like its 14mm counterpart, it features a 16.5” elongated shape and streamlined 7.5” width, giving us the reach to pressure opponents and the maneuverability to react quickly at the net. Where this model sets itself apart is in its thicker 16mm core, which offers a softer, more controlled feel while still maintaining the stability and consistency provided by the TrueStrike Polymer Core and Engage’s Edge Foam Barrier. This extra core depth enhances touch on drops and resets, while still giving us enough pop to finish points when the opportunity arises.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Friction Fiber Carbon Skin on the face of the Engage Alpha 16mm grips the ball for impressive spin generation, allowing us to shape passing shots and control placement during fast-paced exchanges. The 5.5” handle length works beautifully for two-handed backhands, while the perforated padded grip keeps our hold secure in long matches. From baseline drives to soft kitchen play, the Alpha 16mm transitions smoothly between power and control, making it an ideal choice for all-court players who want precision without giving up finishing ability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cb\u003e Engage Alpha 16mm Pickleball Paddle Technical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eAverage Weight: 7.8 – 8.2oz\n\u003cbr\u003eWeight Range: 8.00 ounces\n\u003cbr\u003eGrip Circumference: 4.25\" (Medium) Actual grip sizes may vary up to 1\/8\"\n\u003cbr\u003eGrip Style: Perforated, Padded\n\u003cbr\u003eGrip Manufacturer: Engage\n\u003cbr\u003eHandle Length: 5.5\"\n\u003cbr\u003ePaddle Length: 16.5\"\n\u003cbr\u003ePaddle Width: 7.5\"\n\u003cbr\u003ePaddle Face: Friction Fiber Carbon Skin\n\u003cbr\u003eCore Material: TrueStrike Polymer Core, Edge Foam Barrier\n\u003cbr\u003eCore Thickness: 16mm (0.629\")\n\u003cbr\u003eCertifications: USAP\n\u003cbr\u003eEdge Guard: Yes\n\u003cbr\u003eManufacturer: Engage Pickleball\n\u003cbr\u003eMade in China","brand":"Engage","offers":[{"title":"Blue","offer_id":67826892963953,"sku":"ENG949-0001","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red","offer_id":67826892996721,"sku":"ENG949-0002","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0788\/7123\/2625\/files\/Pursuit_Alpha_16mm_-_Blue_Front__13133__47370.1756405831.jpg?v=1792881023","url":"https:\/\/shop.courtlinq.com\/products\/engage-pursuit-alpha-16mm-pickleball-paddle","provider":"CourtLinq Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
