About the Flash Team

The Flash Team is HEAD's beginner-focused standard-shape paddle — a fibreglass face over a polypropylene honeycomb core, tuned for easy power off the sweet spot without overhitting. The ergonomic 130 mm grip gives a comfortable, secure hold for longer sessions, and the balanced 235 mm balance point keeps the paddle stable through swings. A durable, no-fuss option to get started with a trusted brand.

Want more power?
