Pickleball has become an incredibly popular sport in recent years. The texture of a pickleball paddle’s face is designed to create spin and control. This Garyce paddle face has a “Carbon Abrasion Surface (Cas)” with many sharp spikes.
Compare this with the Vufoxt paddle also in the Surface Library. The Vufoxt paddle has an average roughness almost 33% higher than the spiky surface of the Garyce paddle! Yet, as we show in this blog post, the Garyce paddle has much higher friction, despite the lower average roughness.
