Technology Overview

Engineered with a three-foam architecture, Honeyfoam™ begins with a low-density EPP core, strategically wrapped from the 4 to 8 o’clock positions in a high-performance EVA foam to enhance energy return, extend dwell time, and deliver an exponential power response. Completing the system is a perimeter foam ring designed to amplify stability, expand the sweet spot, and elevate overall forgiveness.
Featuring an advanced impact-dampening material, our edge guard actively absorbs shock, minimizes vibration transfer, and reinforces the paddle's perimeter for superior protection and durability.
This precision-engineered hitting surface generates elite-level spin and maintains its grit even under high-intensity play.
The standard shape creates a wider sweet spot, helping reduce mishits and improve shot stability.

I have played with Paddletek paddles for 5 years and this is the best yet. Improved control without sacrificing power. Great for advanced players as well as intermediate.

I’ve been using the ESQ-C 12.7 for the past year and had a chance to demo the 16mm ESQ Honeyfoam paddle. I really liked how it played and felt, but didn’t love it since I’ve always used thinner paddles. I decided to order the 14mm version to try out and absolutely love it! It plays very similar to the 12.7, but even better.

Love this paddle. It provides so much more control when making a whole range of shots and the power is there when needed. Its lower swing weight gives me a quicker response when volleying at the kitchen line. This paddle is driven by technology. Thank you PaddleTech.

the Honeyfoam is a fantastic paddle. I am a power player and this paddle gives me both power and touch. My kitchen game has improved immensely. I also like the 14mm but that paddle gives me way to much power. REALLY enjoying playing with this paddle!

I received my Honeyfoam™ ESQ within a week of placing the order. It was very well packaged, although the paddle cover was oversized and didn't fit the paddle properly.

The paddle itself has a beautiful colour scheme, and the touch and control at the kitchen line are excellent. However, I found baseline drives a little challenging, and the handle feels slightly too short for my liking.

Nice soft feel for excellent touch. Power is just fine.

My wife loves the Truefoam paddle. I ordered 2, one blue and one orange, and 2 orange paddles arrived. Not sure what happened there. Seems to have a pretty good balance of power and touch. I tried it for one game and adjusted to it instantly.

Right now the 16 is my paddle of choice. It allows softening of the game as we as providing all the pop that I need.

I recently upgraded from a Paddletek Tempest Wave Pro and have been very pleased with my new paddle. It offers noticeably better control while also providing more power than my previous paddle. I particularly like the balance between control and power, which gives me greater confidence in my shots. Overall, it's been a great upgrade, and I'm very happy with my purchase!

The paddle was everything I hoped for in a Paddletek. Great power and amazing control. My spin ability is amazing with this paddle. This is my third Paddletek paddle and I am still pleased with the company.

Great paddle. It has great power when I need it and it’s great around the kitchen area. I recommend it to intermediate to advanced players.

Love everything about this paddle! Great overall feel, solid control for dinks and comfortable response with harder drives.

The new Honeyfoam ESQ paddle is great! I'm still getting used to it. My first reaction is that it may offer a little more power, and a touch less feel. I'm definitely a "feel" player, but it's just an adjustment. I really don't think I'm losing any feel, I just need to adjust.

I have only been playing for a year but being an ex-tennis player I quickly realized my weaknesses. I wanted a bigger sweet spot for kitchen rallies and crisper volleys. I have only used it 3 times due to an injury but it is really nice and I made a great choice based on a recommendation from a friend. People have told me my serves have a lot more topspin since I switched and I can comfortably serve much deeper consistently.
The only thing that surprised me is how a $300 paddle doesn’t come with paddle cover?

The Honeyfoam paddle delivers much more power than the older paddles, while still maintaining control. Hard drives, or drop shots. You get extra oomph without sacrificing precision.

Great paddle though it was too powerful for me .

One of my favorite paddles and has quickly become my main for doubles. Very controlled at the kitchen including drops and resets to get to the kitchen. The Paddletek Honeyfoam ESQ 16mm does not lack though in power either! I have the elongated TKO-K 16mm and 14mm and this ranks right with both. The sweet spot is very large and it feels like an extension of the hand. Highly recommend!!

I would rate the ESQ 16 better than the TKO-X 16 a for control and more forgiveness. But if you like the elongated shape of the TKO-X better for a twoey then stick with that. You can’t go wrong with either.

I'm loving my new Honey foam ESQ paddle. I feel like I have more control and placement while playing with it.

This paddle is great! I really like the feel and the responsiveness. My serves have more zing and fewer mishits, compared to my Phoenix Genesis Pro. I'm also finding it easier to make a good shot when I'm a little out of position or have to make a difficult backhand.
