Frequently Asked Questions

SPARK — The lightest swing in the range. At 220g it's the lightest in the range, with a forgiving 16mm honeycomb core — its wide 10mm cells absorb mis-hits and reduce arm fatigue. Built for players still finding the middle of the face, who want genuine performance without overcomplicating it.

EDGE — Built for players who attack. Firmer 16mm honeycomb core with tighter 8mm cells and Gen-4 hybrid construction delivers direct energy transfer and snap on drives. If you want power, stability and a crisp response, EDGE is your paddle.

APEX — The most advanced build in the range. A 16mm full EPP foam core — no honeycomb — gives you a connected dwell on the ball that honeycomb can't match, while the elongated head and perimeter energy ring keep real pace on drives. Soft hands, hard drives — and the quietest paddle we make.

The core construction is completely different across all three — not just a matter of feel preference.

SPARK uses a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core with wide 10mm cells. Larger cells mean more flex and impact absorption — softer, more forgiving, easier on your arm over long sessions.

EDGE uses the same 16mm core but with tighter 8mm cells, plus a Gen-4 hybrid PU foam layer. Less flex, more direct energy transfer. The ball comes off the face with snap.

APEX uses no honeycomb at all — a 16mm full EPP foam core with a serrated EVA energy ring around the perimeter. Foam absorbs and regulates energy instead of reflecting it, so the ball dwells on the face. It has the lowest swing weight of the three and the most face flex, and it runs quieter than either honeycomb paddle.

All three paddles use T700 raw carbon fibre with a peel-ply surface — the same material specification as paddles sold at two to three times the price. The peel-ply texture grips the ball through contact, generating spin on serves, resets and drops.

The core construction differs across the range:

SPARK — 16mm polypropylene honeycomb, 10mm cells
EDGE — 16mm polypropylene honeycomb, 8mm cells, Gen-4 hybrid construction
APEX — 16mm full EPP foam core, no honeycomb

Same premium face. Three completely different cores. Three completely different feels.

Because most brands offer too many. Each FIZZ paddle has a clear role - nothing duplicated, nothing unnecessary.
