The Enhance MPP Turbo is the paddle Enhance built when it decided the Turbo platform should go hollow. Where the Turbo EPP packs a floating foam core for put-away power, the MPP Turbo swaps in a full floating MPP foam centre: a softer, deeper-sounding, control-led take on the same $180 thermoformed carbon platform. If you've been eyeing a foam-core paddle but don't want to spend north of $400, this is one worth a proper look. Here's how the new Hybrid plays, how it stacks up against the EPP, and who each one suits.
Pickld carries the brands featured. Picks are based on product specs and customer order data, not affiliate incentives, and we're an authorised Enhance dealer in Australia, so the MPP Turbo is stocked here, not shipped in from overseas.
What the Enhance MPP Turbo actually is
MPP stands for the way the core is built. Instead of a foam block filling the paddle, the Enhance MPP Turbo runs a full floating MPP foam centre ringed with an EVA perimeter: a genuinely hollow, responsive construction. On top sits the same thermoformed CFC layup with a raw T700 carbon-fibre face you get across the Turbo line.
The result is a paddle that plays a fraction longer on the ball. There's a trampoline-like energy return across the face, the sound is deeper and softer than a poly honeycomb paddle, and the whole thing leans towards touch rather than raw thump. If you've read our plain-English guide to foam core, thermoformed and Gen 4 jargon, this is that tech applied with control (not power) as the priority.
How the MPP Turbo Hybrid plays
This first shape is the Hybrid: a balanced, all-court build with a mid-length 5.5" handle that still leaves room for a two-handed backhand. The floating core and EVA ring make resets and dinks land soft and predictable: the ball sits on the face a beat longer, so you can take pace off at the kitchen without the paddle fighting you. Wind up for a drive and the carbon face still snaps back with a clean pop. Internal perimeter weighting keeps the head stable through contact, so off-centre balls don't twist out of your hand.
Here are the real numbers.
| Spec | MPP Turbo Hybrid |
|---|---|
| Core thickness | 16mm |
| Core material | MPP foam centre + EVA perimeter ring (full floating core) |
| Face material | Thermoformed CFC layup, raw T700 carbon fibre |
| Average weight | 7.8–8.1oz (221–230g) |
| Swing weight | 110–114 |
| Twist weight | 6.8+ |
| Paddle length | 41.40cm (16.3") |
| Paddle width | 19.56cm (7.7") |
| Handle length | 13.97cm (5.5") |
| Grip circumference | 4.1" |
A swing weight of 110–114 is squarely in the manoeuvrable-but-stable band, and a twist weight north of 6.8 is generous forgiveness for a paddle at this price. It's a mid-weight paddle that won't wear your arm out over three games.
An Elongated MPP shape is on the way for players who want more reach and a higher swing weight. We'll link it here once it lands on the storefront.
Enhance MPP vs EPP: which should you buy?
This is the real question, because the MPP Turbo and the Turbo EPP share the same $180 price, the same 16mm build and the same raw T700 carbon face. The split is in the core and what it does to your game.
| MPP Turbo (Hybrid) | Turbo EPP | |
|---|---|---|
| Core | Hollow floating MPP foam + EVA ring | Floating EPP foam + EVA ring |
| Lean | Control, touch, longer dwell | Power, put-away, big sweet spot |
| Feel & sound | Softer, deeper, trampoline return | Poppier, faster snap-back |
| Shapes | Hybrid (Elongated coming) | Elongated, Widebody, Hybrid LH |
| Swing weight | 110–114 | 116–120 (EL) / 108–112 (WB) / 110–114 (HYB) |
| Price | $180 | $180 |
Put simply: buy the EPP if you want to bang: it's the more explosive paddle with the biggest forgiving sweet spot, and it comes in three shapes so you can dial in reach or stability. Buy the MPP if you want to touch: softer hands at the kitchen, longer dwell for resets and third-shot drops, and a deeper, quieter feel that rewards placement over pace. Neither is "better"; they're two answers to how you like to win points. If your game is built around the reset and the dink, the MPP is the one. For the full breakdown on the power side, our Enhance Turbo EPP review goes deeper on the three EPP shapes.
Both sit in the Enhance Pickleball range if you want to compare them side by side.
Price, availability and shipping
The Enhance MPP Turbo Hybrid is $180 AUD: foam-core feel at well under the $300–$400 you'd pay for the big-name thermoformed paddles. It's currently a pre-order, with stock estimated to land in the second week of July 2026; orders ship as soon as it arrives.
Buying from Pickld gets you free Australian shipping over $150, a 30-day no-quibble return on factory-fresh paddles, Sydney North Shore pickup (Mt Colah), and Enhance's 1-year manufacturer warranty. We're an authorised AU dealer, so it's local stock and local support, not a three-week wait from a US site.
The verdict
The Enhance MPP Turbo is the control-minded sibling to the EPP: same clever thermoformed T700 platform, same honest $180, but a hollow floating core that trades a touch of raw power for soft hands and a longer dwell. For club players who live at the kitchen line and want foam-core feel without the foam-core price, it's an easy paddle to recommend, and right now it's the only AU-stocked way to get one.
