Spartus Spitfire Widebody Pickleball Paddle
The Spartus Spitfire Widebody Pickleball Paddle is a pickleball paddle designed for players seeking accessible power, spin and control with added stability and forgiveness. Its 16 x 8-inch widebody shape creates a broad hitting area, while the 16mm Generation 4 Turbo Foam core delivers responsive power with a controlled feel. The QuadFiber carbon fibre face provides added dwell time and touch, while the spin-focused surface generates 2,100+ RPM for effective topspin, slices and shaped shots.
At an average weight of 7.85oz, the Spitfire Widebody remains quick through the air, with a 107 swingweight supporting fast hand speed at the net. Its 7.4 twistweight adds stability on off-centre contact, making this version particularly well suited to players who value forgiveness and manoeuvrability alongside the power of a full-foam construction.
Product Technologies:
- PermaGritNano - Long-Lasting Spin Performance: Spartus' spin-focused surface technology is designed to retain effective texture for longer than conventional grit finishes, helping produce topspin.
- Turbo Foam - Gen 4 Power Core: The proprietary Generation 4 Turbo Foam core uses a full-foam construction designed to produce responsive power and a satisfying impact while maintaining a softer, more controlled feel for resets, drops and touch shots.
- QuadFiber Layup - Power with Outstanding Touch: Four strategically engineered layers of premium carbon fibre provide increased dwell time and feel. This helps keep the ball on the paddle face for longer, supporting greater confidence on resets, third-shot drops, dinks and controlled touch shots despite the paddle's powerful response.

Staff Pro Review
The Spitfire Widebody impressed us with how effectively it combines power with stability and quick handling. The 107 swingweight keeps it responsive during fast exchanges, while the 7.4 twistweight and wider face provide extra confidence on off-centre contact. Players who prefer forgiveness over the additional reach of an elongated paddle should find this version particularly accessible.
FAQs
Q. What advantage does the widebody shape provide?
A. The 8-inch-wide face provides a broader hitting area and greater resistance to twisting, helping make off-centre contact more stable and forgiving during fast exchanges.
Q. What does the full-foam Turbo Foam core add to the paddle?
A. Generation 4 Turbo Foam is designed to deliver responsive power while maintaining a softer, controlled feel. This helps balance aggressive drives with the touch required for drops, resets and dinks.
Q. How do the 107 swingweight and 7.4 twistweight affect play?
A. The 107 swingweight keeps the paddle quick to manoeuvre at the net, while the 7.4 twistweight provides greater stability when contact moves away from the centre of the face. Together, they give the Widebody a useful combination of hand speed and forgiveness.
