Description
EdgeFusion Core — Forgiveness Beyond the Sweet Spot
NEON's EdgeFusion Core combines a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core with high-density EVA reinforcement around the perimeter. This construction adds stability around the edges and helps maintain a more consistent response when contact moves away from the center of the paddle.
That extra forgiveness makes a difference on reaction volleys, defensive blocks, and resets, where clean contact isn't always possible.
Triple-Layer Raw T700 Carbon Fiber — Spin & Control
Three layers of raw T700 carbon fiber create a textured hitting surface that helps generate spin on topspin drives, roll volleys, and sliced returns.
Paired with the 16mm core, the carbon face offers a controlled response for softer shots, including third-shot drops and dinks. There's enough responsiveness to speed the ball up when needed, without making every touch shot feel overly lively.
Thermoformed Unibody Construction — Stability & Handling
NEON's thermoformed unibody construction and EVA-reinforced frame provide a solid, connected feel at contact, particularly during punch volleys and quick counters.
The 5.5-inch octagonal cushioned handle offers a secure grip and room for grip adjustments, whether you're absorbing pace at the kitchen or preparing for a two-handed backhand.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
GOOD TO KNOW BEFORE YOU BUY.
A few things worth knowing about NEON's feel, handling, and everyday play.
Does NEON feel soft or poppy?
NEON offers a forgiving feel with a responsive thermoformed construction. Some players find it especially comfortable for dinks and resets, while others notice more pop on speedups and counters. Your experience may depend on your previous paddle and playing style.
Will I need time to adjust to NEON?
Possibly, especially if you're switching from a very soft control paddle. NEON's responsive face may take a few sessions to get used to on dinks and drops. Start with shorter, controlled strokes and adjust as you get familiar with its feel.
Is the 5.5-inch handle long enough for a two-handed backhand?
For many players, yes. NEON's 5.5-inch handle can accommodate a two-handed backhand, though comfort depends on your hand size and grip style. If you prefer extra room for both hands, a longer handle may feel more comfortable.
Should I add weighted tape to NEON?
Not necessarily. NEON is designed to play well in its stock setup. Adding weight can increase stability and hitting power, but it also changes the paddle's balance and may slow your hands. We recommend playing with NEON as it comes before making adjustments.
Will NEON's spin performance change over time?
Like other textured carbon-fiber paddles, NEON's hitting surface will experience normal wear with use. Spin performance can gradually change depending on playing frequency, contact patterns, and court conditions. There is no fixed replacement schedule that applies to every player.
How should I clean NEON's carbon-fiber face?
Use a clean, slightly damp microfiber cloth to remove ball residue and surface dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals and aggressive scrubbing. Allow the paddle to dry before storing it, and keep it away from excessive heat and moisture.

This paddle hits way above it's class for the price. I ordered the rhythm for my wife but she likes the grip size of Neon better. Warping Point customer service sent me a Neon immediately at no extra charge. I will purchase all future PB products from them due to the outstanding service and product.

The NEON is my all time favorite paddle

The Neon paddle stands out for its excellent control and large sweet spot, making it very forgiving and easy to play with. Its eye-catching design adds to its appeal, while the rounded handle allows for smooth grip adjustments and quick paddle switching. It also delivers solid power when needed. Considering its overall performance, quality, and reasonable price, I would confidently give the Neon paddle a 5-star rating.

very very good paddle! I can go all out with this paddle! II love it so much i’m buying another one as spare. I play 5-6x a week and all the people around keep asking what kind of paddle it is and cant believe it’s price point.
K
Awesome paddle for control and fast plays superb quality 👌🏻
J
Loved it! So comfortable in my hand and I didn't need to adjust much from using another brand. Get so many compliments with the colour and the pop sound it makes.

I started playing pickleball 8 months ago and I really enjoy how this paddle plays. I have a lot of power and this paddle helped me control my shots and still be powerful. It's a nice weight and felt good in my hand.My previous paddle didn't have an edge guard, but this one does. I like that it protects the edges of my paddle from the hard outside court when I am digging low shots. The colors are also really fun and help brighten up the black paddle!

Good so far

Pickleball newbie here and I recently upgraded my paddle to the Neon Gen-3. It's elevated my game and helped me be a more confident players while continuing to develop!
M
I haven't had experience with many different paddles, but this one feels good.
J
Really solid paddle, tons of spin. I have enjoyed using to develop my game, very light and all the weight is in the handle, very nimble, decently large sweet spots and for 125 it's the best out there
A
Great paddle for a great price!

Have really enjoyed the paddle so far. Has good touch and enough pop for my purposes.

It’s not as much a control paddle as I thought and read from some reviews.
A
One of the best paddles under £100

love the paddle!!! great value. this is coming from a guy who's actively played tennis
M
I appreciate the support I received to solve the situation, but unfortunately my experience hasn’t been positive so far. I still haven’t received my paddle, even though I placed the order on July 28
M
Great paddle, control & power, grit. Easy to play with right out of the box. The only thing I would do is provide a paddle cover . Thank You, have a great day.
J
I love the paddle. I took a quiz and it said it was a good match for what I wanted in a paddle and that is true! Especially for under $100
I get a lot of compliments on it and I don’t see anyone else using it so I’ll try to promote the paddle and I hope you guys get more business because it is a great paddle!!
Thank you😊 Julie
B
I really like this paddle. Plays great out of the box. Doesn't turn in my hand, fast hand speed at the kitchen. Control 10/10 which is exactly what I was looking for. Good enough power for me and decent spin. I would say 10/10 control and 7/10 on spin and power. But if you already have power you will love the control of this one! exactly what I was looking for.
C
As good or better than my last 2 $200 plus paddles. Seems like I have more control with a bit bigger sweet spot.
W
First I love the price and secondly I love the paddle. I'm a older female player 3.7 and I play the soft and great games. Love the dinking and speed ups. This paddle has great pop coming off and yet can handle drinks. Good grip and I feel like it does help me respond faster bc it's lighter somewhat. I would recommend trying this paddle and I would buy it again!!!
W
Good paddle at a fair price point.
A
power and control is great..
thank you so much for the best support…

Excellent
A
I've been using the Neon paddle, and I'm genuinely impressed with its performance. It gives me excellent control while still providing that extra power when I need it during play. From my experience and observation, it performs exceptionally well on the court.
What impressed me the most is that, despite being a budget-friendly paddle, its quality and performance far exceeded my expectations. It truly feels like a premium paddle at a much more affordable price. I can confidently say that the Neon paddle offers incredible value for money, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a paddle with outstanding control, power, and overall performance.
A
Great light weight Paddle, with significant spin and control.
B
I love this paddle. It gave me a lot of confidence, and I love having a larger sweet spot as someone just starting out. The confidence has helped me improve my game, because I am not thinking about the paddle being the thing that lost me the point. Its all me 😂
