The Athletic Works Charge is a fiberglass pickleball paddle made for beginner and intermediate players who want an approachable, all-around option for casual and recreational play. The fiberglass face gives the paddle a responsive feel at contact, so you can focus on learning the game and developing your rhythm on the court. A 12mm core is built for balanced power and control, making it a versatile choice as you work on different shots, while the larger sweet spot adds forgiveness for players who are still dialing in their strokes. The ergonomic ridge-style grip is shaped for comfortable handling through a game, and the paddle is at home on both indoor and outdoor courts, so it can go wherever your pickleball sessions take you.
