About this paddle
The Strike runs our Fusion Tech face: fibreglass blended with carbon fibre. Fibreglass grips the ball for spin and reset; carbon adds the pop you need to drive a third shot. You don't usually get both feels in one paddle, but you get them here.
Pick 14mm if you want a punchier, faster paddle. Pick 16mm if you want a softer face and longer dwell time. Same shape, same handle. Different game.
The paddle you reach for when the Play isn't keeping up and you're not ready to graduate to the Pro yet. Same world-class factories as the big brands, none of the markup.
What it does well
Three things the S1 Strike gets right.
01
Fusion Tech face
Fibreglass for spin and reset, carbon fibre for pop. The blend means you don't pick one over the other.
02
14mm or 16mm core
14mm plays faster off the face. 16mm gives you more dwell and a softer touch. Same paddle otherwise. Pick the one that matches your hands.
03
Balanced handle, moisture-wicking grip
Sits naturally in the hand and stays there when you're sweating through a hot court.
Who it’s for
Is it for you?
The S1 Strike is the step up for improving players: a fibreglass and carbon fibre face that gives spin and pop together, in 14mm or 16mm.
- Players who've outgrown a first paddle and want more pop on drives without losing touch at the kitchen.
- Anyone working on third shots and resets, where fibreglass grip and carbon pop both matter.
- Choose 14mm for fast hands and counter-attacks, 16mm for control, dinks and resets.

Questions
Before you buy.
14mm or 16mm: which S1 Strike should I get?
14mm is punchier and more responsive, better for fast hands and counter-attacks. 16mm is softer with more touch, better for control, dinking and resets. Most advancing players gravitate to 16mm; aggressive players stay at 14mm. Same shape and handle either way.
What is Fusion Tech?
It's the S1 Strike's face: fibreglass blended with carbon fibre. Fibreglass grips the ball for spin and resets, and carbon adds the pop you need to drive a third shot.
S1 Strike or S1 Pro Carbon: which is better for me?
The S1 Strike blends fibreglass and carbon for a balance of pop and feel, and it's the paddle most players settle on. The S1 Pro Carbon goes all-in on raw 3K carbon with a thermoformed unibody: firmer, more predictable, and more demanding to swing. Pick the Pro once you're sure of your style.
Is the S1 Strike USAPA approved?
It's built to USAPA and international spec, but it isn't on the official USAPA-approved list for sanctioned tournaments. That's deliberate: it's made for rec, club and social play, and most players never enter a sanctioned event.
How much is delivery on the S1 Strike?
Standard delivery is free on this one, because every order over $110 ships free (2–6 business days). Express is $17 (1–2 business days). Orders placed before 12pm Melbourne time on a business day leave the same day. We ship Australia-wide only.
Can I return the S1 Strike?
Yes. Unused paddles in their original packaging can go back within 30 days of delivery for a refund or exchange: email returns@swingooo.com.au to start. Change-of-mind return postage is on you. If it's faulty, damaged or wrong, tell us as soon as you notice (photos help) and we'll repair, replace or refund it, with a prepaid return label. For a major failure, you choose a refund or a replacement.
