The world's FIRST widebody using a premium 100% Aramid fiber

Industry leading combination of spin, swingweight and twistweight

The Apollo is the world's FIRST widebody paddle that uses a premium 100% Aramid fiber as its face material. The proprietary shape produced in-house by us along with the cutting-edge tech gives you unfathomable swing speed (swingweight of only 108), a MASSIVE sweetspot from the incredibly high twistweight of 7.45, and top tier spin of over 2300 RPMs.

The combination of the absurdly low swingweight and spin lets you take the most aggressive shots including rolls and flicks from under the net.

Blocks and resets are an afterthought with the sweetspot that effectively covers the whole face all the way to the edgeguard allowing what would be mishits on other paddles to be normal hits with the Apollo.

Fully thermoformed with injected edgefoam, the Apollo gives you power for your drives and serves and big pop for your putaway shots while still providing a plush feel for control.

We have spent over a year cutting out all middlemen and optimizing our production lines so that we can deliver the Apollo to you at a lower cost than our competitors while maintaining high quality. Because at Spartus, our mission is to deliver maximum performance at maximum value.

USAP approved for tournament play, the Apollo paddles from Spartus are the ultimate choice for any pickleball enthusiast or competitor. Upgrade your game today!

One of the best paddles!

This paddle is genuinely one of the best one I’ve ever used. It’s so easy to handle and offers fantastic control, power, and pop. With its high twist weight and low swing weight, it’s super comfortable to pick up and play with. I've let other people use it and they all say the same thing. It’s become one of my go-to paddle and I already have 2 (one as a backup)! It's already discounted but you can use the "SPARTUS" code to get a lower price.

Fire sale!

This paddle is honestly the best paddle I've used because of how friendly it is. The paddle has great control, power, and pop. With the high twist weight and low swing weight, it makes it an easy paddle to pick up and play with. This has become my main paddle and will be that going forward.

Worth the hype

Factory second is almost indistinguishable from regular except that it has demo written in sharpie on both sides. Great deal.
As far as the paddle, I’m still getting accustomed to it. I’ve played about 5 times with it. So far it’s well balanced and feels light in the hand while being noticeably wider than my hybrids. Quality of materials and feel is exactly what I expected. I feel it’s an excellent value for the money. Definitely more control vs power.

Good Value

Solid paddle. Low swing weight is nice up at the net. Good control and touch. First wide body and jury is out. Would have preferred a longer handle for length and 2 handed backhand. Good spin but lacks the power and pop of my Black Diamond. Will probably use as a 2nd paddle when I need help with resets.

Hard to find why they sold it as a second. After one use, the seconds and regular paddles look the same.
