Paddletek The HoneyFoam TKO-X Pickleball Paddle
Where limits end, the future begins.
The Paddletek The HoneyFoam TKO-X Pickleball Paddle introduces Paddletek’s new HoneyFoam™ Multi-Foam Technology, a proprietary three-foam architecture built to create a softer, more responsive feel at impact while improving dwell time, sweet spot size, stability, and long-term durability.
Built for Power, Control, and Modern Paddle Performance
The HoneyFoam TKO-X platform is designed for players who want a paddle that feels powerful when they swing, stable when they counter, and composed when they need to slow the ball down. The elongated TKO-X shape gives players extra reach and leverage, while the PT-700 Unidirectional Raw Carbon Fiber face adds spin-friendly bite and consistent ball interaction.
Whether you choose the faster, more explosive 14mm version or the more controlled and stable 16mm version, the HoneyFoam TKO-X gives players a high-performance feel built around precision, power, and reliability in every rally.
Best For
- Players who want the newest HoneyFoam™ paddle technology from Paddletek
- Aggressive players looking for power, spin, and reach
- Players who want improved dwell time and a more responsive feel
- Players who like elongated paddles with leverage and court coverage
- Players choosing between a faster 14mm feel and a more stable 16mm feel
HoneyFoam™ Multi-Foam Technology
The new HoneyFoam™ core combines three advanced foam types into one unified structure. This multi-foam design is engineered to create a softer and more responsive feel at impact, while increasing dwell time, expanding the sweet spot, and improving long-term durability.
- Increased dwell time for improved control and shot placement
- Expanded sweet spot for more consistent performance across the face
- Responsive power when swinging through drives, counters, and attacks
- Improved stability on off-center contact and defensive blocks
- Long-term durability from the proprietary multi-foam construction
14mm vs 16mm: Which One Should You Choose?
Choose the 14mm HoneyFoam TKO-X if you want the most explosive version of this platform. The thinner build gives the paddle a faster, more direct response off the face, making it a strong choice for players who like to drive, speed up, attack, and create offense.
Choose the 16mm HoneyFoam TKO-X if you want more dwell time, stability, forgiveness, and control. The thicker build softens the response and helps the paddle feel more composed on blocks, resets, counters, and transition shots.
Performance Feel
The 16mm version gives players the more composed side of the HoneyFoam platform. The thicker profile increases dwell time and softens the overall response, making blocks, resets, and transition shots easier to guide without giving up the reach and leverage of the elongated TKO-X shape.
Compared to the 14mm, the 16mm leans more into control and stability. It provides a calmer response against pace, a more forgiving face when contact drifts away from center, and better confidence when absorbing speed instead of adding to it.

Important Note About the 14mm Version
The HoneyFoam™ TKO-X 14mm was engineered to push performance beyond conventional limits. It is approved for professional and amateur UPA competition, but it exceeded the power threshold required for USAP-sanctioned events.
As a result, a special “UPA Approved” sticker has been applied over the original embossed USAP mark. The performance has not changed — and neither has the intent behind HoneyFoam™.

Choose the 14mm if you want a faster, more explosive HoneyFoam TKO-X with a more direct attacking response.
Choose the 16mm if you want a more controlled, stable, forgiving version with better dwell time and a calmer feel on resets, blocks, and transition shots.
