Elongated Pickleball Paddles

Elongated pickleball paddles are the paddle of choice for competitive players who want extra reach, a longer handle for two-handed backhands, and a higher hitting sweet spot. Canada's best selection of elongated paddles is right here — from beginner-friendly options to tour-grade carbon fibre models.

Elongated paddles typically measure 16.5" or longer in length, with a narrower hitting face compared to widebody paddles. This shape suits baseline players, hard hitters, and anyone coming from a tennis background who prefers a longer handle.

Benefits of an Elongated Paddle

• Extended reach — extra inches of paddle help cover the court and extend your range on wide shots
• Longer handle — ideal for two-handed backhand players or players who choke up on their grip
• Higher sweet spot — the hitting face sits higher, great for overhead smashes and drives
• More leverage — generates more power on drives and serves

Who should use an elongated pickleball paddle?

Elongated paddles suit attacking players, baseline players, players with a tennis background, and anyone who uses a two-handed backhand. They're also popular among taller players who benefit from extra reach.

Are elongated paddles legal for tournament play?

Yes — as long as the combined length and width doesn't exceed 24 inches, elongated paddles are USAPA approved. Most paddles in our collection are tournament-legal.
