The Enhance EPP Turbo is a 16mm elongated foam-core pickleball paddle that delivers premium-tier construction at a budget price. Featuring a full floating EPP foam core with EVA perimeter ring and CFC face layup, it competes directly with paddles costing twice as much. At $99.99 with code PRH, it's one of the strongest values in pickleball right now.
The Verdict
Premium-tier foam construction at a budget price.
We kept reaching for this one whenever we wanted to drive the ball hard without thinking about the price tag. After thorough on-court evaluation, the Enhance EPP Turbo Elongated landed in the upper tier of the paddles we tested in 2026.
If you're comparing it against other foam-core paddles, it's one of several great foam core paddles we've played this year.

Performance Scores
On-Court Feel
The EPP Turbo delivers a deeper "thock" sound on contact — the planted, connected feel that EPP foam is known for. Drives come off with real authority for a budget paddle, and the CFC face layup gives a noticeable spring on full swings without feeling out of control. The fiberglass layer in the face adds enough pop to make speed-ups effective, while the EPP foam keeps everything predictable on the soft game. The 117–119 swing weight is the only real trade-off — you'll feel the work in fast kitchen exchanges, especially against players using lighter hybrids.
Performance & Testing
The Enhance EPP Turbo Elongated went through our standard on-court protocol - drills, rec play, and at least one tournament match. Scores reflect consensus feedback, not a single reviewer's opinion.
Grit & Durability
The raw T700 carbon fiber peel-ply surface provides good initial bite and holds up reasonably well. This isn't a long-lasting grit paddle in the PermaGrit or HexGrit category, but for the price you're getting standard foam-paddle grit performance. The 1-year warranty plus 14-day trial period is generous for the budget tier.
Who It's For
Budget-conscious players who want elongated reach and foam-core power without spending $200+. Great for players upgrading from honeycomb paddles who want their first taste of Gen 4 foam construction. Skip if you specifically want a hybrid shape (the V-SOL Pro Flash is better for that) or if you need maximum hand speed at the kitchen — the high swing weight isn't the fastest in the budget category.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Full Gen 4 foam core construction at a budget price
- Strong power and lively CFC face layup
- Solid spin generation (~2,250 RPM)
- 14-day trial period plus 1-year warranty
- One of the strongest performance-per-dollar values in 2026
Cons
- 117–119 swing weight is sluggish for some players

- Newer brand with less paddle history than Vatic or Honolulu
- Popular shapes sell out quickly
Bottom Line
Premium foam paddle performance at $99.99 — one of the strongest values in pickleball right now.
If you've been waiting to try a Gen 4 foam-core paddle without dropping $200+, the EPP Turbo is the easiest yes in the budget tier.
