The Spartus Spitfire Elongated is a 16mm elongated pickleball paddle built around a Generation 4 Turbo Foam (EPP) core and a four-layer QuadFiber carbon face with a PermaGritNano textured surface. Independent lab testing measured 2,132 RPM of spin, and the grit held 94% of its surface roughness through durability testing, so the bite lasts far longer than raw carbon faces. It suits intermediate and up players who want elongated reach, heavy spin and a soft, hollow feel without a premium price. Against thermoformed carbon power paddles it trades some crispness and control for spin retention and a low 116 swingweight that keeps hands quick at the kitchen.

Owners rate the Spitfire Elongated very highly, with 690 ratings averaging 4.9 out of 5. They single out the measured spin, the grit that holds up over months, and the fast hands the low swingweight allows. The main complaints are modest control and a sweet spot that is good rather than generous.
The Spitfire Elongated is an elongated pickleball paddle with a 16mm core. The core is Generation 4 Turbo Foam (EPP), which gives a softer, hollower feel at impact than a thermoformed carbon build while still producing pop. The face is four-layer QuadFiber carbon fiber with a PermaGritNano surface.
The PermaGritNano surface held 94% of its Ra roughness and 97% of its Rz roughness in durability testing, a Tier 1 grit retention rating. Independent lab testing measured 2,132 RPM of spin. The paddle is USAP approved.
The elongated shape adds reach and leverage and calls for clean contact. Lab testing rated the sweet spot at 84% and maneuverability at 85%. Swing weight is 116 to 117, low for an elongated power paddle. Weight and grip size vary slightly from unit to unit.
