Everyday Social THE ASAMA 110 18K Winter Edition (16mm)
USAPA Certified
The ASAMA 110 18K Winter Edition is a 16mm heavy-weight paddle designed for intermediate to advanced players seeking maximum spin, power, and durability. Its cutting-edge 3D 18K carbon fiber weave outperforms traditional T700 carbon, delivering superior touch and strength.
The elongated body improves reach and court coverage, while the extended handle supports double backhands. Inspired by Karuizawa’s snowy winters, the sleek all-white design reflects nature’s elegance. Named after Mt. Asama (2,568m), the paddle embodies strength and endurance, with “110” symbolizing the rare “Golden Pickle”—a perfect-scoring game.
[Our Review]
Heavier than most paddles (235–240g), the ASAMA 110 18K is ideal for players who prefer added weight for stability and power. While less quick than lighter paddles, it excels in shot solidity and spin thanks to its 3D 18K raw carbon weave.
