Wilson Vesper Control 17 Pickleball Paddle

For players who win with patience, precision, and touch.
The Vesper Control 17 is all about feel. Designed with a super-thick 17mm core, this paddle absorbs impact and delivers incredible softness on resets, dinks, and drop shots. Its wide-body shape expands the sweet spot, making it easier to place shots exactly where you want them—even under pressure.
The raw carbon face grips the ball just long enough to add spin and control, while the FreeFlex open throat and StableMax handle give you a lightweight, maneuverable frame that reacts fast at the net. Whether you're slowing down the pace or setting up your next shot, this paddle helps you play a smart, tactical game.
Ideal for: Intermediate and advanced players who focus on finesse, reset play, and consistent shot placement.
