What Is T700 Carbon Fiber and Why Does It Matter?

You'll see T700 carbon fiber mentioned on every PickleTimes paddle. Here's what it actually means for your game.

What is T700 carbon fiber?

T700 is a specific grade of carbon fiber and one of the most widely used in high-performance sporting equipment. The T refers to tensile strength, and T700 delivers a balance of stiffness, durability, and surface texture that makes it ideal for pickleball paddle faces.

What it does on the court

A T700 carbon fiber surface gives you three things: consistent spin generation, reliable feel across the hitting area, and responsive contact on every shot. The texture of the carbon fiber grips the ball on contact, giving you the ability to shape shots with topspin, slice, and precision placement.

Why we chose it

We chose T700 because it performs. It's not a marketing term. It's a material specification that delivers a measurable advantage in feel and consistency over fiberglass or lower-grade carbon alternatives. Every PickleTimes paddle, Rally or Wild, is built on the same surface standard.

When you pick up a PickleTimes paddle, you're feeling T700. And once you do, it's hard to go back.
