How it stacks up
Premium materials, without the premium price
Many top-brand paddles with this kind of raw carbon construction run $250 or more. The True North Edition uses Toray T700 raw carbon and a 16mm all-court core at $120, and ships from Guelph, Ontario with no duty or import fees.
Comparison against typical raw carbon paddles priced $250 and up. Terms vary by brand.
About us
A small Canadian business, run by players
Hi, I’m Adam. Slash is a small, Canadian-owned pickleball brand based in Guelph, Ontario, and that’s me on the right.
We make paddles that play like the pricey ones without the $250 price tag. Every order ships from Guelph, and if something goes wrong you’re dealing with a real person. As one buyer put it: “Adam sent me a new one under warranty, painlessly.”
Thank you for backing a small Canadian business. It means a lot to us.

Questions, answered
Is it USAP approved?
It is PMA approved, which is the approval used in many recreational and club play settings. It is not USAP approved, so if you play sanctioned USAP tournaments, check your event rules first.
Is the True North Edition different from the regular Pro?
Only the design. It has the same materials, specs and dimensions as the Slash Pro, with a Canadian-themed face.
How heavy is it, and what size is the grip?
About 7.5 oz, with a 5-inch handle and a 4.3-inch grip circumference. The longer handle leaves room for a two-handed backhand.
Does it come with a cover?
Yes. A free neoprene paddle cover ($12 value) is added to your cart with each paddle when you use the buttons on this page.
What if it isn’t right for me?
You have 30 days to return it (you cover return shipping, plus a $20 restocking fee), and the paddle has a 6-month warranty. Read the full return policy.
How fast will it arrive?
Every order ships from Guelph, Ontario and typically arrives in 2-5 days. Shipping is free over $130, and there are no surprise duty or import fees.
