The Fire 14 Purple Jesus Edition is the official signature paddle of Max Manthou, built in bold Husky purple and gold to honor his time at the University of Washington. Max is known for playing with confidence, always dictating the pace, and this paddle is designed to match that style.
The 6-inch polyurethane handle is the most premium available, giving players a wand-like feel and instant feedback. Tennis players will feel right at home with the longer handle, which provides extra leverage on flicks and drives while staying quick through the air. The ultra-gritty carbon fiber surface adds heavy spin and control from anywhere on the court, giving players the same confidence the pros rely on. Inside, the 10mm large-cell polypropylene core responds with explosive power when you swing big, while still offering a soft, pocketing touch that feels closer to a thicker paddle. The result is a balanced weapon built for shaping shots, speeding up the ball, and winning exchanges.
“NOBODY MESSES WITH THE JESUS”
Max Manthou plays with confidence. He doesn’t wait, he dictates. The Fire 14 in Husky purple and gold reflects that mindset — bold, direct, and built to win.
“PULL THE TRIGGER TIL IT GOES CLICK”
At Speedup, that’s how we see pickleball: take your shot, own the point, play on your terms. Max plays the same way — speeding up the ball, applying pressure, and forcing opponents to react.
The gritty carbon surface and responsive polypropylene core give players the same confidence Max has — the freedom to shape the ball any way they want. Light, fast, and customizable, the Fire 14 Purple Jesus Edition is designed for players who believe in dictating play, not following it.
