Carbon Fiber Pickleball Paddle (USAPA Approved)

I’m not a master pick baller but it seems nice to me! I don’t have any complaints from playing with it and it’s very pretty!!

Its a pretty racket and also a good racket. It has great control and sweet spot. I added a little lead tape to it and increased its power and now i love this racket.

This is a step up from our cheap beginner paddles, but I'm not seeing much of a difference. Especially for the $79.95 price. I'm not saying it's bad, but I just honestly can't see much of a difference other than the face material. To be fair, my wife and I are new to pickleball and I got this for her to enhance her game. We started with a cheap set of fiberglass paddles, and for beginners like us they were fine. We didn't know what to expect and didn't want to spend a lot of money. But we learned quickly that the cheap paddles had bismal performance compared to some of the higher end paddles others were using. When I saw this available I thought it would be a good idea to upgrade my wifes paddle. Overall it's definitely a step up from the fiberglass, but we just aren't seeing that much of an advantage. We're both still really new so I'm sure some of that is our own fault. The paddle is comfortable and is light weight, and does offer better performance. But I do see better paddles in our future.

Light weight with a comfortable grip. It doesn't have a lot of power, but it is a nice finesse paddle. Great for practicing shot placement. A nice paddle for beginners.

I grabbed this to test out and see if it's something that I wanted to keep and play the game with. I've been playing just a few months at this point and have began looking for the paddles I want to progress farther with, I was feeling like my starter sets had suddenly became obsolete, I'm wanting to learn to really spin and control that ball. Our starter set paddles just weren't doing that.When I first received and opened the box I was pretty pleased with the quality of packaging. Reality is all paddles should be shipped like these are. The packaging on all but one paddle was the same so I figure this is the standard box and protection. It's very nice.The paddle itself looks great, the pattern is beautiful if that matters to you, and the handle is well sized for numerous hand sizes, all the girls that tried it loved the handle size, it was slightly thin feeling for me but still caused no hot spots or problems at all during play, it just felt thinner.I also have received 3 other paddles of different makes and models with another 2 coming shortly, so I at minimum can get experience with many different paddles to determine what I do and do not like about each one. I have tried a couple very high end paddles at the court and we shall see how these stack up.I love that it comes with a protective cover, the cover fits great and will do a great job protecting the paddle. The texture on the face is great for generating lots of spin and it carries a great deal of pop. My youngest daughter and my wife really love this paddle a lot. It's absolutely among my favorites I tested, it's a perfect blend of spin and power.In play this paddle has a very nice sweet spot, excellent spin and outstanding pop. While playing as a single against my daughters playing as doubles I found that this paddle shined. This is an amazing performer for the price point. It had excellent control and pretty ok spin. The extra pop helped me push those back courts shots across the net. The balance of the paddle was perfect and this paddle had very good control and pop. I liked this paddle.After a couple hours use this paddle is hardly showing any sign of wear at all. It still looks very newPros - very affordable, excellent control, decent spin, solid pop, comfortable grip, I found nothing to dislike about this paddle at all. One of my favorites so far.Cons - Not really many, it's not groundbreaking or amazing, but it's a very nice paddle that will not disappoint. Most paddles I've reviewed in the price range had a neoprene cover. This would be nice to have, but it's a minor gripe.You will be very pleased with this paddle if you purchase it.
