Used Electrum Model E

Top edge first, as with any elongated shape, and check the edge guard for lifting at the corners. The faces hold grit reasonably well. Because the moulds have changed less than most brands, an older Model E plays much closer to a current one than the same age gap would imply elsewhere — which is the main argument for buying one used rather than new.

A player wanting reach without the sweet-spot penalty of a fully elongated paddle.

Is a used Electrum Model E worth buying?

Top edge first, as with any elongated shape, and check the edge guard for lifting at the corners. The faces hold grit reasonably well. Because the moulds have changed less than most brands, an older Model E plays much closer to a current one than the same age gap would imply elsewhere — which is the main argument for buying one used rather than new.

How do you grade a used Model E?

The same way as everything else here: weighed, tapped, measured and checked on twelve points, then graded Mint, Like New or Excellent. Anything below the floor is declined rather than listed cheaply, so a low price means an older generation or more cosmetic wear, never a paddle that failed inspection.

Can I trade in my Model E?

Yes. Send photos and a person comes back within 24 hours with an offer in RePaddle store credit. The quote is an estimate until the paddle is in hand and graded, and if the final offer differs we email it and issue nothing until you accept.
