Neonic Flare Titanium 16mm Pickleball Paddle Review
MATT'S VERDICT
The Flare Titanium is the more forgiving Flare: thicker core, higher twist weight, and a slight pop boost from the titanium-carbon surface that the standard Flare Prime doesn't have. Off-center hits stay more playable, drives carry a touch more depth, and the soft game still works because the thicker core absorbs more pace.
