CONTROL AND POP

"Ya know, I normally play an elongated power paddle (longtime Filth player). But this FatBoy paddle is sooooo forgiving, I keep picking it as my paddle of choice lately." - Tim G.|Bremerton

  • 16 mm polymer core for consistent pop and optimal control.

  • Carbon fiber face with TRUGRIT texture for superior spin.

  • 8 sided vibration dampening handle with sweat proof faux leather wrap.

  • Competition ready and approved for sanctioned events.

THE SHOGUN

A Deadly Weapon

The "Shogun" is wielded by only the most noble warriors. Featuring a never-before-seen Carbon Fiber and Titanium colored polyester face, this paddle is an experimental powerhouse.

We opted for an Elongated shape to accentuate the power and pop provided by the surface material. Don't be fooled, while it's more than capable of keeping up with the Filth in terms of power, it offers more control than its Raw Carbon Fiber counterpart.

This is a thermoformed paddle.
