Frequently Asked Questions
Costa paddles blend original artwork with premium performance. Every design is exclusive - not a logo on a factory template. Our guiding principle is Identity in Motion: who you are matters as much as how you play. We build paddles for every level, from youth players just starting out to competitive tournament players, using polypropylene honeycomb cores and carbon fiber faces engineered for control, spin, and power.
Our paddles feature polypropylene honeycomb cores with carbon fiber faces. Most models use a Teflon finish, while the David Johnson Signature Series Lightweight Edition features a proprietary coating over its carbon face for enhanced spin and durability. The 16mm core thickness across our current lineup delivers the balance of control and power that all-court players prefer.
Looking ahead, Costa Pickleball will be introducing paddles with EPP and EPP+EVA Gen 4 core technology later this year, expanding our performance options for players at every level.
