Product description

A well-balanced, high performance paddle that is perfect for everyone from beginners to pros and at a killer price. Our unofficial motto is "Built for pros. Made for you." This is a paddle that anyone can pick up and will stay with you as your take your game to the next level.

Key Features

  • Talavera Design - The design on the paddle was inspired by the beautiful pottery and tile work we grew up seeing at home in Mexico. When we first saw this design we knew the beautiful talavera design would pop on the court.
  • High-grit Carbon Face - Competition-grade Toray carbon fiber face for maximum durability and spin. Our supplier has been making carbon fiber for industrial and aerospace applications for over 50 years!
  • HexaFlex 16 mm Polymer Core - The key to maximizing your touch and control. 
  • Large Sweetspot - We wanted a paddle that not only hit right but also felt right. The shape and center of mass of our paddle gives you a larger sweetspot and a more solid feel on every hit.
  • Elongated 5.5” Handle - The added length for extra stability and the cushioned grip for comfort. Perfect for tennis players or anyone who wants to hit with two hands.

Our Story

The story of Apolo is simple. We were fed up with the offerings in the market, anything affordable was low quality and anything high quality was super expensive. We thought we could do better.


We looked at the paddles that pros love to play with. We talked to players in our local community. We tried so many suppliers and materials until we understood what are the things that matter and what doesn't. Our goal was to give you top of the line performance at a friendly price – the beautiful designs are just a bonus.


Our first product, the Core Carbon 1, is what we came up with. A well-balanced, high quality paddle that is perfect for everyone from beginners to pros and at a killer price. Our unofficial motto is "Built for pros. Made for you." We created a a paddle that anyone can pick up and will stay with you as your take your game to the next level.
