Compare Synergy Pickleball Paddles: Power, Control & All-Court
Choosing a pickleball paddle gets easier when you start with how you want the paddle to play. Synergy's current premium lineup covers three clear directions: all-court balance, control, and power.
Quick comparison

Choose EXPLORE if you want balance
EXPLORE is the simplest starting point for a player who does not want to commit heavily toward either control or power. Its 16mm carbon-fiber construction is positioned as Synergy's everyday all-court option, with multiple color choices.
Choose ELEVATE or ROYALE if you prioritize control
ELEVATE and ROYALE are both 16mm control-oriented choices. ELEVATE uses carbon fiber, while ROYALE uses Kevlar. If your priorities are touch, placement, resets, and a more controlled response, start with the Control Paddle Sets collection and compare the two directly.
Choose SUPREME, BLAST, or PASSION if you want more power
SUPREME is Synergy's 13mm Kevlar power option. BLAST and PASSION are 14mm carbon-fiber power options. Thinner cores are generally associated with a firmer, quicker response, while the exact feel also depends on the full paddle construction. Browse all three in Power Paddle Sets.
Still not sure?
If you want the broadest fit, start with all-court. If touch and placement matter most, start with control. If pace and pop are the priority, start with power. You can also use the Shop by Playing Style section on the Synergy homepage.
