The Bread & Butter Shogun 16mm Elongated stands as a battle-tested masterpiece in the world of pickleball paddles, crowned the Best Elongated All Court Paddle of The Year in 2024 by The Pickleball Studio. Stretching to a commanding 16.5 inches in length with a narrow 7.375-inch width, this elongated design maximizes reach and leverage, empowering players to unleash devastating drives and serves from deep court positions. Its groundbreaking face—a never-before-seen T-700 Carbon Fiber x Electroplated Polyester weave—creates an experimental powerhouse that delivers explosive pop and enhanced spin while maintaining a refined, responsive feel.

Built with patented thermoformed construction (U.S. Patent No. 11,597,169) and a 16mm high-density polypropylene core, the Shogun ensures unwavering consistency and durability through every rally. Weighing between 8.0–8.3 ounces, it carries a swing weight of 120 and a twist weight of 6.18, striking a dynamic balance that feels powerful yet controlled. This setup allows aggressive players to swing with authority on offensive shots without losing the precision needed for tactical resets and volleys at the net.

The elongated profile is paired with a generous 5.5-inch handle length and 4.3-inch circumference octagon grip, complete with vibration-dampening wrap for superior comfort and reduced shock during intense exchanges. UV-printed graphics directly on the surface lend a sleek, warrior-like aesthetic that reflects the paddle's elite status—subtle yet commanding, much like a shogun's blade. The design prioritizes all-court versatility, blending raw power with superior control compared to raw carbon fiber alternatives.

USAP-approved and engineered for tournament dominance, the Shogun 16mm Elongated thrives in every facet of modern play, from baseline aggression to kitchen-line finesse. It excels for intermediate to advanced players who refuse to compromise, offering enough thunderous pop to match the Filth family while providing noticeably more control for strategic shot-making. This makes it an ideal choice for singles warriors or doubles players seeking an edge in reach, power, and placement.

In the end, the Bread & Butter Shogun 16mm Elongated is wielded only by those ready to command the court with precision and force. It fuses innovative materials, thoughtful ergonomics, and award-winning performance into a paddle that feels like an extension of the warrior's will—capable of slicing through defenses with surgical accuracy or overwhelming opponents with sheer power. This is the weapon for players who play to conquer, proving that true dominance comes from a blade sharpened by both innovation and control.
