The HUDEF APEX Pro2 pickleball paddle combines a polypropylene honeycomb core with ETPU supercritical foam for controlled power, superior comfort, and exceptional durability. Designed for demanding players, it offers excellent control, precise feel, and rock-solid durability. USAP approved.
Experience the perfect blend of power and finesse with every hit – HUDEF Supercritical Honeycomb Core.
Supercritical energy foam + the rigidity and toughness of the polypropylene (PP) honeycomb core = ultimate durability and extraordinary hand feel.
By combining the soft and elastic shock absorption of supercritical foam with the stiffness and strength of the PP honeycomb core, this technology delivers an unprecedented sensation, blending firmness and flexibility!
This isn’t just an improvement — it’s a revolution.
- The supercritical layer ensures gentle shock absorption,
- while the PP core guarantees efficient force transmission.
The paddle’s feel offers the comfort of EPP, with a clear force feedback and precise control far beyond EPP.
A new standard for pickleball paddle cores
The HUDEF Supercritical Honeycomb Core completely overturns the traditional experience:
No more worrying about GEN3 cores crushing under foam,
No more EPP cores collapsing and permanently deforming after repeated hits.
Our revolutionary supercritical foam and PP honeycomb core, through physical fusion, allows the foam layer to wrap and support the core, creating a mutually locking rigid and tough framework.
Impacts are evenly dispersed and absorbed, effectively protecting the honeycomb cells. This fundamentally eliminates the weaknesses of GEN3 structures and EPP cores.
Supercritical foam technology
Made from Expanded Thermoplastic Polyurethane (ETPU), this foam is produced using a microcellular foaming process through supercritical physical foaming technology.
Benefits:
- 100% clean and environmentally friendly (pure physical foaming)
- Odorless
- Tear resistance several times higher than EPP
- Excellent pressure resistance
- Wear-resistant, elastic, does not chip
- Resistant to solvents and ozone
- Stable performance in extreme temperatures
- Closed-cell structure ensures stable and long-lasting performance
