The new choice of top Pro Players around the world including APP TOUR #1 Jack Munro, Yana Newell, Sheri Courter and so many more. At the heart of the Talon X1 is OWL’s patented APS - Acoustene™ Performance System, which integrates aerospace-grade carbon fiber with a nano-fused polymer dampening matrix. This cutting edge technology delivers incredible power with unmatched control and spin in a single paddle platform.

Paired with the True Carbon X-Frame Structure™ (a multi-layered, high-modulus carbon fiber unibody), the paddle maximizes integrity under stress for crisp control and explosive power in high-intensity exchanges.
Hybrid Spintech Surface™ blends textured carbon micro-weave with a performance friction coating. It provides maximum grab and optimized spin (over 2,300 RPM potential) for advanced shot-shaping, from aggressive drives to precise drops.
Balanced Reactive Core™, featuring a reactive polymer honeycomb with foam edge channeling for optimal flex, responsive feedback, and superior shock absorption. This is ideal for all-day comfort and reduced fatigue.
Custom Pro Elongated Shape enhances versatility in this elongated paddle through a longer paddle face for extended reach, compact width for nimble maneuverability, and an extended grip for secure handling from baseline blasts to kitchen dinks.
Available in aggressive Eclipse and sleek Midnight design options
Only paddle in the world that is triple USAP-approved paddle with USAPA Pro Tournament, PBCoR 0.43 compliance for sanctioned tournament play and USAP Quiet Category

Reviews

Deep cut on side customer service appalling

"Arrived with deep scratch on side. Their shipping company UPS tossed it over my 180cm gate onto concrete. Contacted Owl support reporting there was a huge scratch on side of paddle and worried about integrity of bat due to bad delivery. Emailed Owl support on 8th July who said they forwarded to Warranty Team. Yet it’s been me chasing them up since 17th July. Sent them another message and they said it’s the first time they’ve heard from me. What is going on."

— Jess (1/5)

Great spin and buttery touch

"This is my first Owl paddle transitioning from the typical carbon fiber face paddles with various grit. This paddle is truly unique in its feel, sound, and performance. I really like the vibration dampening feel and the immense spin and plow through power. Hoping the next iteration will have less swingweight to make it quicker at the kitchen. Otherwise, I’m loving this paddle and hoping for more models in the future."

— Richard C. (5/5)

Best control for the spins and swings

"This is my 3rd Owl paddle upgrade and each upgrade has improved my game. I naturally used wrist in all of my racquet/paddle sports ( badminton, ping pong, racquetball ). Playing straight shots and dinks is boring and not my style. With Talon X1 Eclipse I noticed I am making most of my swing serves and during the rally I am able to spin more accurately. Even, serving top spin serves are faster and better placement. I would recommend to buy it if you like quite paddles and want more precise placement on the court."

Great, well balanced paddle!

"Really loving this paddle so far. I purchased it because I was really excited about the control and spin it's known for. The added bonus--- It has way more power than I expected. The longer handle has been really nice for two handed backhand shots, and it has a really nice sweet spot. One note: It's a little heavy, so still getting used to that at the kitchen line. Overall a really strong paddle that I've already begun recommending to friends!"

— Patrick W. (5/5)

Awesome Paddle. Love it!

"Talón X1 Eclipse is in a league of its own. This is the 5th paddle I have owned and it’s the best yet. Loving the power and control this paddle creates. Everyone at the court wants to know about that crazy Acoustine “felt” surface. So I spread the word about Owl paddles."

— Eric S. (5/5)

Quiet and powerful

"As a tennis player I love the elongated handle for two-handed backhands and being able to poach. The surface material allows a lot of spin during the serve and returns. Outstanding performance for the money"

— Gregory D. (5/5)

THE PERFECT PADDLE

"To begin with, all credit goes to the core idea of having a texture that can take care of spin speed power control and also be quiet at the same time. It also allows for shots to be hit in a more natural way rather than brute contact ( kind of captures the beauty of tennis shots that is visually mesmerizing ). I believe this paddle has the potential to entirely change way pickleball is played only for the better. This paddle has helped me improve my shots, it's accuracy while maintaining high speed and control. Overall improves the quality of your game and also does inadvertently improve the game of your opponent That says a lot about the paddle itself"

— Kali K. (5/5)

Best paddle EVER

"I cant begin to explain how this is the only paddle I ever want to play with and I wish I would've know about these before I bought all these other paddles I own! The best paddle ever. Good control, silent, great spin!"

— Aaron L. (5/5)

From newbie to intermediate in second.

"This paddle is slightly heavy and swinging hard, but no sound and lighting fast! This is what I feel to get on touch of this. Spin, return with threats, this is my opponent told me and it’s really hard to predict what’s coming next ball. I love it and sold all my others paddle after i just get it. It’s my favourite paddle right away when I’m starting to use it."

— Tom G. (5/5)

Talon is a “BIG HIT”

"Our community uses Owl Paddles exclusively! One person in our community club purchased a Talon. Everyone who gave hers a try decided !Wow! I want one too. And We are seeing a level of play increase for Talon users and lots of smiling faces because of the Talon. The Talon hits more like a regular paddle while maintaining the “Quieter” paddle reputation. Talion is truly a BIG HIT for Owl."
