Pickleball Apes Zen S+ — 16mm Hybrid
Most foam power paddles hit hard and feel like it — stiff, loud and twitchy at the kitchen. The Zen S+ is Pickleball Apes' answer: a Gen 4 full-foam build that swings around 107 and still tests near the top for drive speed. A Diced-Core™ MPP foam center is wrapped in a Triple-Density Frame of progressively denser foam rings, so the middle of the face stays soft and controllable while the perimeter carries the mass. Over the top sits SilverBack Grit™, a bonded peel-ply layer built to keep its bite.
Best For
Intermediate-to-advanced players who swing through the ball and want elite power from a light, quick hybrid — with USAP legality and grit that lasts.
Why Players Like It
- Big power, low swing weight — near the top of the power charts while being one of the lightest hybrids tested
- Soft where it counts — the ball doesn't jump off the face on blocks, so resets and dinks stay down
- Stable for the weight — 7.0 twist weight on a ~107 swing weight
- Grit that lasts — above-average spin retention in third-party durability testing
- Certified Pre-Owned pricing — a $199.99 paddle, cover included, for less
