Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between composite, fiberglass, and carbon fiber?

There are many differences, but in summary, composite paddles offer a balanced and versatile option, fiberglass paddles lean towards power and pop, and carbon fiber paddles provide the highest level of performance with excellent power, control, precision, and durability, favored by more advanced players.

What paddle is best for beginners, intermediates, and advanced players?

Composite paddles are a versatile and affordable option, blending materials for a balance of power and control, making them suitable for beginners due to their stability and forgiveness, as well as advanced players seeking versatility.

Fiberglass paddles provide excellent power and pop, favored by intermediate players for their balance of power and control, and by advanced players who focus on aggressive shots.

Carbon fiber paddles are considered a premium choice for intermediate to advanced players, offering superior strength, stiffness, and responsiveness for enhanced power, control, precision, and durability.

Does the paddle shape affect performance?

Different paddle shapes cater to various playing styles: a control shape typically offers enhanced maneuverability and precision for placement shots, while a power shape is designed to maximize hitting force for harder drives. A balance shape aims to blend the benefits of both, providing a versatile option suitable for a mix of controlled play and powerful shots.

What customization options are available for the paddle?

Paddle Material/Type: You can choose from Composite, Fiberglass, and Carbon Fiber paddles, each offering different playing characteristics.

Design and Graphics: You have the option to upload your own custom images, logos, or text to personalize the front and back of the paddle. Dink also offers design assistance.

Colors: You can select custom colors for various parts of the paddle, including the edge guard, grip tape, band, and grip end.

Paddle Shape: Different shapes are available, such as control, power, and balance.

Grip Size: You can select the grip size that best fits your hand (small, medium, or large).

Can I choose the paddle material?

Of course! You can choose between composite, fiberglass, and carbon fiber materials.

Are there pre-designed templates available?

Yes, we offer pre-designed paddles under our personalized paddles section.

Do you offer volume pricing for bulk orders?

Yes, please email us at team@dinkusa.com for pricing.

How durable is the print on the paddle?

Durability is a function of time spent playing. If used intensively (3-5x per week), you can expect the print to last about a year. Otherwise, if you're a casual player, you'll find that the print will last you much longer.
