Irvine’s official PPA Tour athlete page lists the Engage Alpha Pro 14mm.

Why this paddle fits her game
Irvine is an experienced, all-court player who wins with shot selection and versatility rather than one overpowering weapon. A 14mm paddle gives her the hand speed to compete in fast exchanges while retaining enough touch for the soft game — a balanced tool for a balanced game.
Should you use her paddle?
A 14mm all-court paddle suits players who want a blend of speed and feel and have a reasonably developed game. If you’re after maximum forgiveness, a thicker 16mm build may serve you better first. Our best paddles guide helps you choose, and our full pro paddle list shows who plays what.
