“I wanted a paddle that plays the way I compete, aggressive, explosive, and never safe. The Chapter 01 is exactly that.”
— Nick Kyrgios
The Chapter 01 started with a simple question: what would a paddle look like if it were designed by one of the most explosive athletes in racket sports?
Working directly with Nick Kyrgios, we engineered three shapes with a dual-density V-foam core, and a weight customization system that didn’t exist in pickleball before. Every detail from the dual-density V-Foam core to the edge guard weight guides was tested, rejected, and refined until Kyrgios signed off.

Born From A Different Kind Of Athlete
Nick Kyrgios doesn't do things the conventional way, and he wasn't going to put his name on a conventional paddle. Every detail of the Chapter 01 was tested, rejected, and refined until it matched the power and intensity he brings from professional tennis. The result is a paddle built for players who'd rather make the highlight reel than play it safe.
Power That Doesn't Sacrifice Control
Two foams. Two jobs. The V-Foam core pairs a high energy outer core for explosive drives with a responsive inner core for soft touch and control at the net. Ten internal orifices expand the sweet spot so off center hits still feel clean. No break-in period, no core crush, no dead spots.
Spin That Bites
Three layers of T700 raw carbon fiber create an aggressively textured surface that grips the ball longer for heavy topspin, sharp angles, and precise placement. The tri-laminate construction adds torsional stiffness so the face stays stable through hard drives and fast hands at the kitchen.
Your Paddle, Dialed In
The Chapter 01 is the only paddle with built in edge guard weight guides. Place weight precisely and symmetrically using the measurement markings, no guesswork, no aftermarket tools. Dial in your balance and swing feel with total confidence, right out of the box.
- STStephen T.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars5 days agoGreat paddle
Tons of power and control.
- ASAugust S.Verified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 weeks agoSo good
Such a good paddle. Unbelievable power. Best looking paddle on the market.
- AAuggieRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoSO MUCH POWER
Picked up the Kyrgios Elongated about a month ago and it’s quickly become my go-to. The extended length gives me real reach on stretch volleys without giving up control at the kitchen, and the sweet spot is more forgiving than I expected from an elongated shape. Power is there when I want it, but the touch on resets is what’s actually surprised me most.

I was disappointed in the way it was packed, it could have been in a better type of packaging to protect the paddle. Doesn’t help when the ups driver slides it across cement.
- RSRoss S.Rated 5 out of 5 stars2 months agoWow! Leveling up!
Just got my paddle in the mail yesterday. Plays great. Impressed with the power. Excited to see what else Vulcan starts pumping out.
