Description
Overview
The Avaro Phantom Graphite is a pickleball bat for players who have got past their first few games and want a paddle to grow into. Its graphite construction gives a large sweet spot, so off-centre hits are forgiven, and the cushioned grip takes the sting out of a long session.
At 220 g it is slightly heavier than the Renegade, the other Avaro paddle. Avaro gear is designed in New Zealand for school and club use, and this bat is part of the Avaro range of pickleball equipment.
Key benefits
- Forgiving on off-centre hits thanks to a large sweet spot.
- Comfortable through long rallies with a cushioned grip.
- Durable graphite build stands up to shared class use.
- 220 g weight balances control for learners with enough mass for intermediate play.
Who it's for
Choose the Phantom for secondary students, club social players and adults who want one paddle that lasts from beginner to intermediate level. It is not positioned as a competition paddle for advanced tournament players.
Complete beginners buying a class set can start with the Avaro Renegade Composite instead and move up to the Phantom later.
Care, safety and set-up
Keep the graphite face away from concrete and court posts and store the bat indoors. Avaro products carry the store's 12-month guarantee, and orders normally dispatch the same or next business day.
