Facolos EliteX 2.0 Gabe Tardio Edition is a high-performance pickleball paddle inspired by Gabe Tardio's modern playing style. Designed to deliver a balance of power, control, and stability, it is built for today's fast-paced, highly technical competitive environment.
A key highlight of this version is its optimized weight distribution system, which enhances stability during every shot. The paddle features AIR SLOT technology for increased flexibility and ball feel during rapid-fire reflex situations, alongside the FACTORY TUNED STABILITY SYSTEM™—a factory-calibrated weight distribution system ensuring perfect balance and minimal vibration during match play.
The 4 MASS INSERTS structure is integrated into the frame: two top-edge weight bars enhance hitting power and expand the sweet spot, while two side-edge bars increase twist weight, preventing the paddle face from turning on off-center hits. Available in two colorways: pink trim and green trim.
KEY TECHNOLOGIES
DYNAMIC SHAPE — Optimized Paddle Face Design
The paddle face is widened and the sweet spot is adjusted closer to the handle, following Gabe Tardio's playing style. This enables quick reactions in high-speed dink battles, proving especially effective in flicks, counters, and fast-hand exchanges at the kitchen.
CARBON TRUEGRIT™ TORAY T700 — Superior Spin
Toray T700 carbon fiber combined with the TrueGrit™ textured surface increases friction upon ball contact, generating better spin for topspins, slices, or deep driven shots while maintaining precise ball control.
AVF TECH™ — Vibration Dampening
The dampening foam layer absorbs shock upon impact, delivering a solid, highly stable feel in hand. This is particularly useful during defensive blocks, quick counter-attacks, or rapid volley exchanges.
ELASTIC FOAM™ — Directional Ball Control
The elastic core extends dwell time on the paddle face, increasing directional control and accuracy, making it an excellent choice for dinks, drops, and resets.
ELSFOAM™ CORE — Enhanced Ball Pocketing & Low Vibration
The combination of elastic foam and elastic groove systems enhances the "ball pocketing" feel, reduces vibration, and maintains stability during high-speed play. It allows players to execute powerful, deeply spun drives while ensuring solid control in defensive situations.
— Intermediate to advanced players seeking high performance in fast-paced competitive environments.
— Players favoring control and quick reflexes: dinking, resetting, blocking, and countering.
— Players relying on fast hand battles who need rapid, stable responses under high pressure.
