Why Honeycomb Cores Break Down Over Time
Traditional honeycomb-core paddles break down over time. The core compresses with repeated use, leading to dead spots and inconsistent response. Since the face is only bonded at the edges of the honeycomb, it can begin to separate — reducing power and control. And because the design is hollow, energy transfer is uneven, so you never get the same feel twice.
Foam Core is better
Foam core paddles deliver more consistent power, control, and durability than traditional honeycomb designs. With a fully bonded face and dense structure, they provide consistent energy transfer across the entire paddle — no dead zones, no delamination. The result? Cleaner hits, better placement, and a paddle that holds up over time.
