Description

Advanced Next Gem™ Technology: Boulder Opal

More Control. More Feel. The Same Opal Magic.

Built on the same groundbreaking Next Gem™ platform as the Black Opal, the Boulder Opal has been re-engineered to expand the paddle's power band, delivering greater control, forgiveness, and vibration dampening across a larger portion of the paddle face.

Designed for players who love the unmistakable feel of the Opal series but prefer a more controlled response, the Boulder Opal combines exceptional dwell, elite spin, and predictable power into one of the most refined paddles in our lineup.

Its longer dwell time and exceptional ball pocketing create a uniquely connected feel at impact, giving players greater confidence whether resetting under pressure, shaping heavy spin, or finishing points with authority. The pop has been intentionally moderated compared to the Black Opal, resulting in a more predictable response without sacrificing the power needed to attack.

Whether you're competing at the highest level or simply enjoying the game with friends, the Boulder Opal delivers the same Opal magic with more control and feel than ever before.

Why choose the Boulder Opal?

  • Built for players who want more control without losing the signature Opal feel
  • Expanded power band delivers greater forgiveness across the paddle face
  • Exceptional dwell time and ball pocketing for enhanced touch and confidence
  • Controlled power with a more predictable pop profile
  • Patent-pending SharkSkin™ Surface delivers elite spin with exceptional durability
  • G4 Aerospace Solid Core engineered for connected feel and responsiveness

G4 Aerospace Solid Foam Core

At the heart of the Boulder Opal is our proprietary G4 Aerospace Solid Core, a high-density solid construction engineered to maximize responsiveness while delivering exceptional feel.

Combined with the expanded power band and refined 14mm profile, players experience longer dwell time and superior ball pocketing that create a uniquely connected sensation at contact. Dinks feel buttery smooth, resets become more controlled, and counters accelerate confidently when the moment calls for it.

The result is effortless pace on drives, confident put-aways, and immediate responsiveness during fast exchanges without requiring you to overswing.

Stronger put-away power
Immediate response in fast exchanges

Built with aerospace-grade Carbon Lite™ materials and an updated reinforced frame, the Boulder Opal delivers exceptional stability while remaining fast through the air.

The strengthened frame bonds seamlessly with the core, creating a highly responsive paddle capable of handling the demands of competitive play.

Stable, confidence-inspiring performance
Reinforced frame for greater structural integrity

Shock Shield Handle Technology & Expanded Power Band

Shock Shield™ technology injects silicone directly into the handle to reduce unwanted vibration while enhancing feel and feedback.

Every shot feels cleaner, more connected, and more comfortable, helping reduce fatigue during extended matches while giving you greater confidence under pressure.

Reduced arm fatigue
Improved feel and feedback
Greater control under pressure

One of the defining innovations of the Boulder Opal is its expanded power band, engineered to increase the paddle's effective performance area.

This refined construction delivers greater forgiveness, improved vibration dampening, and more consistent response across the face. Whether you're attacking from the baseline or defending at the kitchen, the Boulder Opal provides the confidence to execute every shot with precision.

SharkSkin™ Surface

Inspired by Motorsport. Engineered for Pickleball.

The Boulder Opal introduces our patent-pending SharkSkin™ Surface, inspired by advanced materials used in the motorsport industry where precision, grip, and durability are critical.

By incorporating fine powdered aluminum oxide into the surface construction, SharkSkin™ significantly improves long-term texture durability while creating exceptional ball grip. The result is elite spin performance that remains consistent, even within the constraints of a smooth USAP-approved surface.
