WIKA PREDATOR METALLIC RED 16MM

Wika Predator 16mm Pickleball Paddle

Power. Control. Speed. Meet the Predator.

The Wika Predator combines a responsive EPP foam frame with a honeycomb center core to create a fast, stable paddle built for aggressive play without sacrificing touch and control.

Its XK119 carbon fiber hitting surface features an ultra-grit, fine carbon weave designed to create strong ball bite for spin and confident shot placement. The hybrid shape provides an enlarged sweet spot while maintaining the reach and hand speed needed for fast exchanges at the kitchen.

Hybrid Foam + Honeycomb Core

The Predator's hybrid construction combines two different performance characteristics:

• Honeycomb Center Core — provides control, stability, and a connected ball feel.
• EPP Foam Frame — adds responsiveness and supports faster attacks, drives, and counters.
• Shield-Foam™ Edge — designed to reduce vibration by over 80% for a more solid feel during blocks and resets.
• Dual MPP Inserts — positioned near the throat to absorb vibration and increase stability.
• TPE + EVA Edge Construction — reinforces the paddle structure and is designed to improve durability.

XK119 Carbon Surface

The Predator uses an XK119 carbon surface with a durable, ultra-grit texture and fine carbon weave. The added ball bite helps generate spin on serves, drives, rolls, and aggressive topspin shots.

Built for Aggressive, All-Court Play

At 16mm thick, the Predator balances offensive performance with enough control for the soft game. The hybrid shape gives players an extended reach and generous sweet spot while remaining quick enough for counters and hand battles.

Whether you're driving from the baseline, attacking a speed-up, resetting under pressure, or finishing at the kitchen, the Predator is designed to feel fast, stable, and connected.
