Hudef Viva Pro™ Gen 1 Elongated Pickleball Paddle (Carbon Fiber)
Why this paddle
Elongated raw-carbon control for players moving up from beginner paddles.
VIVA PRO GEN 1 is the classic VIVA entry point: an elongated T700 raw-carbon paddle with thermoformed edges, foam-injected construction, and two thickness choices for power or stability.
T700 raw carbon fiber
The raw carbon face supports spin, touch, and cleaner ball feedback than a basic starter paddle.
Thermoformed edges with foam injection
The thermoformed, foam-injected build helps reduce vibration and keeps the paddle stable through longer rallies.
14mm quick hands or 16mm stability
Choose 14mm if you want quicker offense and a more direct response, or 16mm if you want more control and forgiveness.
