Pro Series Pickleball Paddle – Elite X Wide-Body Edition (14 & 16mm)

Facolos Elite X Widebody Pickleball Paddle — T700 Raw Carbon | USAPA Approved

The Elite X Widebody is the most forgiving paddle in the Facolos range. With a wider face and larger sweet spot than the standard Elite X, it's designed for players who want maximum control and consistency without sacrificing the premium raw carbon fibre technology that defines the Facolos range.

Bigger sweet spot, same premium technology

The widebody shape increases the hitting surface of the paddle, making ball contact more forgiving on off-centre hits. Where a standard paddle might produce a weak or mishit shot when the ball catches the edge, the Elite X Widebody brings those balls back into play cleanly.

Despite the forgiving shape, there's no compromise on materials. The T700 raw carbon face delivers the same spin generation and surface friction as the rest of the Elite X range — you're getting premium performance in a more accessible package.

Who is the Widebody for?

Beginners — If you're new to pickleball, the Widebody makes the learning curve significantly easier. The larger sweet spot means more successful shots while you're developing your technique, which builds confidence and accelerates improvement.

Players coming from tennis or badminton — The wider face feels more familiar if you're transitioning from a racquet sport with a larger hitting surface. It bridges the gap between what you're used to and the smaller standard pickleball paddle shape.

Control-focused players — If your game is built around placement, consistency, and patience rather than power, the Widebody rewards that style. The larger face makes precise dinking and soft game play easier to execute under pressure.

Doubles players — In doubles, the kitchen line game is everything. The Widebody's forgiving sweet spot is a genuine advantage when you're exchanging fast hands battles at the net.
