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

Reviews

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)

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)

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."

— Suellen P. (5/5)

Silent killer! Be the unique one on the court.

"A very silent paddle with excellent control and spin. Opponents often get confused on my balls. Power is good too. The sound is unique."

— Chester C. (5/5)

Talon X1

"I live this paddle. After trying the owl founder’s edition. I loved the quiet. But needed more pop in my game play and a heavier paddle. The Talon has it all. It plays as well or better than my other high end paddles and is now the only paddle I play with. It took me a week to adjust but I don’t think I will ever go back."

— Robert T. (5/5)

Talon X1 is beautiful

"I love the control and pop on this paddle it’s definitely changed my performance while playing and helps me win more games."

— Marcus F. (5/5)

High quality, but head-heavy

"Paddle looks awesome. Unfortunately it’s very head-heavy, so my hands felt slower at net. I play mostly doubles, so that was a deal-breaker."

— Landon W. (4/5)

Enjoying this paddle!

"It took a few sessions to get used to, but now that I have it more dialed in everything feels pretty good. I particularly like the way dinks feel with this paddle. I still sometimes hit dead spots on blocks, so need to work on that."

— Rajat P. (5/5)
