The Athena 2 is crafted with T700 carbon fiber and a nubuck-textured surface, delivering a refined blend of precision, durability, and enhanced ball control. The high-grade carbon fiber ensures maximum strength-to-weight ratio, while the nubuck finish increases surface grip for superior spin performance.

2. Thermoformed Construction for Ultimate Stability

Utilizing advanced thermoforming technology, Athena 2 integrates the face and core into a seamless structure. This process eliminates weak points found in traditional layered paddles, enhancing consistency, responsiveness, and long-term durability across every shot.
