Wika QD Air 2 Pickleball Paddle

Overview

Summary

The Quang Duong Evolution Air 2 is Wika’s control-oriented flagship, and the multi-layer core is the most interesting part of the design. Instead of one uniform foam, the paddle is built from several different materials arranged in zones, each with a specific job. The outer edge uses TPE and EPP to damp vibration and protect the paddle’s perimeter. A foam ring inside this edge increases stability and widens the sweet spot. The centre is EPP foam that is soft, absorbs shock and supports control.

The brand calls this combination S-Hyperfoam. The multiple layers spread impact energy more effectively, so the paddle feels solid and stable for controlled dinks, and also absorbs hard drives and volleys from an opponent. When you want to attack, the centre foam provides enough pop to speed up or finish the point, so the paddle does not feel dead.

The face is Toray T700 carbon coated with glass beads. This exclusive treatment gives a durable rough texture, and the brand quotes spin potential above 2,400 RPM, even during intense matches. Treat the number as a manufacturer claim, but the design clearly aims for spin that lasts.

You can pick 14mm or 16mm and five colours: Ocean, Bronze, Matcha Green, Silver and Purple.
