Every tennis club has a member whose bag is a riot of neon – and now there is a paddle for them. The Ghost Neotag brings graffiti-bright tag artwork to AIXO's entry tier: a T700 carbon face on a 16mm cold-pressed core, at around £30.
The spec is deliberately friendly. Where the flagship paddles chase stiffness, the Ghost's 16mm core is the thick, soft option – the paddle equivalent of a comfortable, larger-headed tennis frame strung at modest tension. The sweet spot is generous, the response is plush, and mishits are forgiven rather than punished. That matters enormously in your first months of pickleball, when your tennis-length swing is still shrinking to paddle-length and contact wanders around the face.
The T700 carbon face is the reason we point tennis players at the Ghost rather than at cheaper fibreglass paddles. Carbon gives you honest feedback and enough bite on the ball to learn the soft game properly – dinks, drops and resets behave predictably, the way a decent string bed lets you actually feel a drop shot. Cold-pressed construction keeps the touch soft and the price sensible.
Who is it for? Anyone starting out, anyone running club-night sessions, and any tennis player who wants a low-risk way to find out what the fuss is about – without buying a paddle that fights them. When your game outgrows it, the Scorpion tier is waiting; plenty of players keep a Neotag as their spare regardless, because it looks tremendous.
