Spartus Pickleball Paddles

Spartus pickleball paddles landed in Australia on the back of one number: the Spitfire took Pickleball Pursuit's 2026 Paddle of the Year at a price most brands charge for a first paddle. Spartus is an American company that made its name on grit. Pickleball Effect rated their PermaGrit surface the number one Tier 1 durable grit, which matters more than a spec sheet suggests, because a face that goes slick after six weeks is a paddle you end up buying twice.

Around that surface they build foam cores they call Turbo Foam, now in a fourth generation, tuned for pace rather than plush. The Spitfire Elongated is the one we brought in first: a 16mm elongated frame with a 116 swingweight, so it reaches like an elongated paddle and swings like a hybrid. Above it sit the P1 line and the Apollo, which we will look at once we see how the Spitfire plays on Sydney courts.

We stock Spartus in Australia, ship from Sydney, and handle any warranty claim ourselves rather than pointing you at a US contact form. Free shipping over $150.
