THESE UNITS ARE BRAND NEW BUT MAY HAVE "FACTORY SECOND", "DEMO", ETC.

The world's FIRST widebody using a premium 100% Aramid fiber Industry leading combination of spin, swingweight and twistweight The Apollo is the world's FIRST widebody paddle that uses a premium 100% Aramid fiber as its face material. The proprietary shape produced in-house by us along with the cutting-edge tech gives you unfathomable swing speed (swingweight of only 108), a MASSIVE sweetspot from the incredibly high twistweight of 7.45, and top tier spin of over 2300 RPMs. The combination of the absurdly low swingweight and spin lets you take the most aggressive shots including rolls and flicks from under the net. Blocks and resets are an afterthought with the sweetspot that effectively covers the whole face all the way to the edgeguard allowing what would be mishits on other paddles to be normal hits with the Apollo. Fully thermoformed with injected edgefoam, the Apollo gives you power for your drives and serves and big pop for your putaway shots while still providing a plush feel for control. We have spent over a year cutting out all middlemen and optimizing our production lines so that we can deliver the Apollo to you at a lower cost than our competitors while maintaining high quality. Because at Spartus, our mission is to deliver maximum performance at maximum value. USAP approved for tournament play, the Apollo paddles from Spartus are the ultimate choice for any pickleball enthusiast or competitor. Upgrade your game today!
