The Samba is the first paddle in NINJA's Flag Series and the signature model of Caian Matos, NINJA's first sponsored player, who took it to a gold medal at the 2026 U.S. Open. Brazil's green and yellow run along the edge and grip, Christ the Redeemer fills the face, and Caian's signature sits near the bottom.
The build is serious: a 16mm dual-density foam core (EPP and EVA), a T-700 raw carbon fiber face and an added fiberglass layer for pop. NINJA lists a 112–115 swing weight, so it's quick through the air, and the octagon handle gets a vibration-dampening wrap.
It's a hybrid shape at 16.2" x 7.6", and NINJA lists it as USA Pickleball approved.
