“Overall, I am happy with this paddle.
This paddle has a good feel in you hands and a nice surface.
I can say this paddle makes me look like a better player than I actually am.
I cant say this paddle will make me a better player as I feel I am about as good as I am gonna get.
I would buy this paddle again.

“This carbon paddle excels in both power and spin, making it a fantastic choice for players who want to dominate from the baseline. The carbon fiber surface, paired with the T700 technology, gives a noticeable boost to ball control and precision. I’ve definitely seen an improvement in the consistency of my shots, particularly when going for aggressive spin.
One of the standout features of this paddle is its ability to generate power without compromising too much on control. The 16mm thickness provides a solid feel and enough cushioning for volleys and dinks at the net, which is great for players who enjoy a versatile style of play. It’s also USAP-approved, which is a huge bonus for anyone playing in official tournaments. I appreciate the professional-grade design, as it holds up well against other top-tier paddles on the market.
However, I found that the paddle’s weight distribution leans slightly toward the heavier side. This can be a bit fatiguing during longer games, especially if you’re used to lighter paddles. While the weight adds to the power, it can make quick wrist movements feel less fluid, particularly for players who prioritize speed over force. The grip, though functional, could also be a bit more cushioned for comfort during extended play.
Overall, this paddle is a solid option for intermediate and advanced players who are looking for a paddle that enhances both spin and power. It offers great performance for the price, but if you’re someone who values maneuverability and comfort above all, you might need to make a few adjustments or look into other options.”
“I love this paddle. It is a sturdy, well made paddle. The paddle is a great combination of power and control. You also get amazing spin. There is a good sweet spot. It has a comfortable, nonslip grip that is long enough for a two handed backhand. I like the weighted handle. I like that the paddle is USAPA approved (not that I will be playing a tournament game any time soon). I like this paddle and it has made a difference in my game.”
“I have been playing with this paddle for 2 weeks now & can honestly say it is the best paddle I’ve ever used. Great control, easy power, super comfortable & very durable. Perfect paddle for all skill levels - worth every penny!”
“Wow. If you go through my review history, you'll see probably 30-40 different paddles, many of them being high end paddles from well known brands. In fact, I recently got 3 new Selkirk paddles to review as well.
When I saw this one, I was thinking that they were out of their mind for the price, because nobody knows of this brand. This is a no name brand, I'm not saying it as an insult, it just is right now. There's no popular review channels that are hyping it up at all, and I've never seen anyone play with it.
Anyway, the paddle... Wow. The sweet spot is wonderful. The feeling of the paddle, dampening vibration while also being so incredible on the touch. Great on drives, great on drops, blocking, punching, etc. There is nothing this paddle can't do.
I like it more than any selkirk, crbn, holbrook, joola, etc.
This thing is actually incredible, and I never say that about any paddle.
The company should be doing better though. Include a paddle cover, they're cheap, you can use your branding, it doesn't make sense to not include one. You have a $10 off coupon listed, just include a cover with your branding. It makes sense. Next... the grip is pretty low quality. I always add overwrap, but the grip kinda sucks. For how the paddle plays, the grip just seems super cheap and going to come off fast, even when I'm using overwrap. I hope this helps you guys, this is an excellent paddle, and the only areas you fall short are easily fixable.
I'm impressed. I've given 5 stars before, but I have never felt this impressed by any paddle. This is my new full time paddle.”
“I'm new to the game so dont have a deep frame of reference for Paddles, but I wanted to get started with the best tools to form the best techniques from the get go. This paddle immediately impresses just by its appearance, its quality feel and its impressive weight. It's easy to smash spirited returns with ease. I'm looking forward to years of use. Perhaps this is more an upgrade paddle and not for a beginner like myself as there are much less expensive alternatives. But whatever your experience, you'll be well served with this paddle, pun intended.”
“I only have good things to say about this paddle. I have been playing pickleball for about 1.5 years/4-5 times per week and have used a number of paddles to get me to a solid intermediate level game. I really like the feel of this paddle which offers a comfortable elongated handle, nice texture for spin, and the headlight design ensures low swing weight, allowing for rapid reactions during intense kitchen battles. A solid paddle when looking for both power and control.”
“I’m a 4.0 women’s player and play about 3-4 times a week. This paddle has everything in the new, high end paddles. Carbon face that give good friction and spin, the foam around the core that provides a bigger sweet spot, and a longer handle that helps with my 2 handed backhand. It’s also light weight which helps with faster hands at the net and a small circumference grip which is good for my smaller hands. The grip isn’t very moisture wicking but I typically replace the grip anyways especially with the humid Florida weather. I’ve played with it for about a week and it’s my go-to paddle.”
