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

Upgraded from a CXE

"I have been using the CXE for six months and have chosen to upgrade to the Talon. I have noticed a significant increase in power and pop. The control remains, though it requires some re-familiarization. The spin is exceptional, with remarkable grip from the paddle's surface. While it is a bit expensive, it proves to be a worthwhile enhancement."

— Edwin Y. (5/5)

Such a Fun Paddle!

"The spin is amazing and the sound is addictive! Definitely a stand out paddle that’ll play like nothing you’ve ever hit before."

— Aaron B. (5/5)

huge improvement for previous model

"Hi, loved the Owl PXE but after demo session with the new Talon X1, it was very easy to see the big improvement. way more power and still great control. no brainer, would buy again"

— yosh T. (5/5)

Amazing Grit and Build Quality

"This paddle is amazingly good at being gritty. Definitely see a game changer in terms of my top spins. Also feels good in thw hands and feels well balanced formmy playing style"

— MUHAMMAD S. (5/5)

What a Hoot!

"What rely elevated my game was the combination of power and precision. My smashes have more punch, yet I can still finesse drop shots with accuracy. Its rare to find a paddle that delivers both, but the X1 manages to strike that balance perfectly. Overall this paddle gave me confidence on the court, it sharpened my control, boosted my power, and kept me confortable through every set. If you are serious about upping your performance, this paddle is worth every swing."

— Jason R. (5/5)

My new main paddle- Owl Talon X1

"I look for the next new thing in paddles. I was playing with the Honolulu J2FC+ and the Body Helix Flik F1 but the Talon X1 has surpassed both paddles. I get power, pop, and control all in one paddle. Also, the noise reduction throws my opponents off when they try to read my shots by sound. I highly recommend this paddle as many players have asked me about my new owl."

— Greg C. (5/5)

Great spin, more power, I want a standard shape ASAP.

"I main PX and I wanted to try the new Talon. The surface is significantly longer lasting and the same great spin. The power is significantly better and the sweet spot is big okay although some weights do help. It's spurpising light for at the kitchen exchanges especially if you grip towards the top. It would be a perfect paddle in standard shape."

This is what I’ve been missing

"I recently started playing pickleball and spent months using my friend’s paddles. Tried maybe 30 different paddles and none of them felt quite right. I decided to pull the trigger on this paddle and it felt like seeing the world for the first time. The paddle feels perfect. The weight is great, power is nice, control just right, spin is off the charts. I’ll never buy a paddle from another brand!"

— Eric (5/5)

Game Changer!

"This one is a real game changer- control, responsive, impact, design. Enables me to take my game up a notch and consistently place the ball in optimal position. Transition from earlier Owl has been effortless. Superior engineering. The future of pickleball is Owl Talon!"

— Blair (5/5)

"This has become my number one paddle to use. . . the control I get with a great mix of power and spin has really upped my game."
