The HEAD Boom Tour EX Pickleball Paddle 11mm ultra-thin core is the thinnest in the entire HEAD lineup, producing the fastest ball exit speed and most explosive pop. Paired with T700 Raw Carbon and Spin Fusion surface technology — which layers SpinOn grit on top of raw carbon for maximum friction — and ThermoTech thermoformed construction for rigid consistency, the Tour EX is a complete weapon for power-oriented competitive players.\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWho it is for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intermediate to advanced players with an attacking playing style. Players who win rallies with aggressive serves, hard drives, and speed-ups. Former tennis players who want to replicate the explosive power feel they are accustomed to. Singles-dominant players who rely on baseline driving power.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat it does best:\u003c\/strong\u003e Generating explosive power efficiently — the 11mm core pops the ball off the face faster than thicker alternatives, and the elongated 16.5-inch shape adds leverage for overhead slams and kick serves.

The 11mm core's thin profile means less dwell time for soft shots — resets, drops, and dinks require precise touch that developing players may find difficult to manage. The crisper, stiffer feel also amplifies errors on off-centre contacts.

T700 Toray Raw Carbon provides the base surface — a naturally textured, high-quality carbon that delivers excellent baseline spin through its inherent micro-roughness. SpinOn grit lacquer is then applied on top, adding an additional layer of friction-increasing texture. The result is higher spin potential than either material provides independently — particularly effective on topspin serves where the high swing speed allows the Spin Fusion surface to grip the ball aggressively for RPM-heavy rotation.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e11mm Ultra-Thin Polypropylene Honeycomb Core — Explosive Power:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 11mm core is the thinnest in the HEAD lineup. A thinner core reduces dwell time — the ball exits the face faster, producing a crisper, more explosive response. This is the mechanism behind the HEAD Boom Tour EX Pickleball Paddle power ceiling: the thin, stiff core compresses minimally on contact and rebounds the ball with maximum speed. The trade-off is less forgiveness on soft shots and off-centre contact, which is why the Tour EX is positioned for intermediate to advanced players.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThermoTech Construction — Consistent Performance:\u003c\/strong\u003e ThermoTech is HEAD's thermoformed construction process that bonds the paddle components under heat and pressure. The result is a more rigid, consistent paddle structure that performs uniformly across the entire face — reducing the performance variability that affects cold-pressed alternatives. Thermoforming also improves durability, ensuring the Tour EX maintains its playing characteristics over extended use.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEX Extended Design — Leverage and Reach:\u003c\/strong\u003e The EX designation indicates the elongated 16.5-inch shape and 5.5-inch handle. These extensions add leverage for overhead smashes, serve power, and two-handed backhand accommodate. The tapered power shape concentrates more mass in the upper portion of the paddle face, pushing the sweet spot high for maximum spin on serves and drives.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003ch2\u003eHEAD Boom Tour EX Pickleball Paddle vs Other HEAD Paddles:\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003ctable\u003e\r\n\u003cthead\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003cth\u003ePaddle\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n\u003cth\u003eCore\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n\u003cth\u003eSurface\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n\u003cth\u003ePower Profile\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n\u003cth\u003eSkill Level\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\r\n\u003ctbody\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBoom Tour EX\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003e11mm PP Honeycomb\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003eT700 Raw Carbon + Spin Fusion\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum power + spin\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003eIntermediate → Advanced\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/thegodofsports.com\/head-boom-team-ex-pickleball-paddle\/\"\u003eBoom Team EX\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003e13mm PP Honeycomb\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003eFiberglass + SpinOn\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003eStrong power, more accessible\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003eIntermediate\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/thegodofsports.com\/head-radical-nite-2024-pickleball-paddle\/\"\u003eRadical Nite 2024\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003e15mm PP Honeycomb + Foam\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003eT700 Raw Carbon + SpinFusion\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003ePower + control balance\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003eAdvanced\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/thegodofsports.com\/head-radical-tour-ex-raw-pickleball-paddle\/\"\u003eRadical Tour EX Raw\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003e15mm PP Honeycomb\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003eRaw Carbon\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003eControl-power balance, elongated\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003eIntermediate → Advanced\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\r\n\u003c\/table\u003e\r\n\u003ch2\u003eHEAD Boom Tour EX vs Other Pickleball Paddles at God of Sports:\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003ctable\u003e\r\n\u003cthead\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003cth\u003ePaddle\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n\u003cth\u003eCore\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n\u003cth\u003eSurface\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n\u003cth\u003evs Boom Tour EX\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\r\n\u003ctbody\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBoom Tour EX\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003eHEAD\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003e11mm PP Honeycomb\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003eT700 Raw Carbon + Spin Fusion\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003e—\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/thegodofsports.com\/six-zero-double-black-diamond-pickleball-paddle-14mm\/\"\u003eSix Zero DBD 14mm\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003eSix Zero\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003e14mm PP Honeycomb + Foam Edgewall\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003eToray 700K Raw Carbon\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003e14mm vs 11mm — DBD more control and dwell time.
