Average Ratings Based on 21 Customer Reviews
CNP pickleballer Royce Smith Beginner
Pros: I work at a pickleball place
Cons: I'm new to the sport
Awesome Paddle Terri Intermediate
Pros: Sweet spot is much larger than my previous paddle- perfect weight for power and nice touch ability- Love this paddle. This is the second one I’ve purchased
Cons: Paddle face shows wear pretty fast.
Definitely recommended! Lynnette Smith Intermediate
Pros: Definitely a great paddle. The increased width really cushions the vibration to the wrist, elbow and shoulders, bigger sweet spot, more control and power. I’ve had several of my pickleball friends try my paddle after watching me play with it and they also love the feel and control. Little heavier than my first responder paddle, but I don’t even feel the difference.
Cons: None so far.
Great paddle Kim Intermediate
Pros: Great power hitting the kill shot
Cons: None
Happy steve Intermediate
Pros: Plays very well. Hard hitting with great control
Cons: Haven't found anything yet
Came apart Jim Johnson Intermediate
Pros: Great paddle for a month.
Cons: It came apart while under warranty but the shop where I purchased it would not return it. Very frustrated with the paddle and the service. It sits in my home collecting dust. Bad investment!
?? Mike koontz Intermediate
Pros: Good
Cons: None
Poor quality, poorer customer service Terry powell Intermediate
Pros: Hits we'll and feels great.
Cons: After 3 weeks of use the faces of the paddle are severely chipped showing the white underlayment. Customer service said normal wear and tear. If you want a paddle that looks 10 years old, this is the paddle for you.
Beast! Leo B (3.5) Intermediate
Pros: Dinking is solid, 3rd shot drops are precise , and if I wind up I can ace a miss hit with ease. For the weight it is very quick on Volleys and backhands
Cons: Wish I could find a paddle cover to fit it
Control and consistent Daniel Sanders Intermediate
Pros: Great control around the net, third and fifth shot drops plenty of power when needed. It is a heavy weight paddle but you will not notice it in your hand. Handle is one of the most comfortable I have ever picked up. Great paddle that’s why I have four.
Cons: If there is a con it would be that it does catch some resistance on overhead smashes I am assuming from its thickness. Once you drill and play with it you can adjust your swing on you smash or over head.
Heavy Doug Potter Intermediate
Pros: Good pop and control and seemingly durable. I've used the paddle off and on since Dec. '21. Reliable serves are the main assets I receive.
Cons: Perhaps too heavy for me, though tough for me at the net. I'm still working with the paddle to get maximum benefit.
Great Paddle RW Intermediate
Pros: This thing has been everything I hoped it would be. Great feel, good weight, very good finesse paddle.
Cons: Nothing so far
Loved it for two hours. Then…. James Reed Intermediate
Pros: Absolutely think they have something special here with this paddle. It has feel, spin, head weight and touch.
Cons: I just don’t think they have it dialed in yet! These early models just don’t hold up. My recent paddle is currently en route back to Justpaddles.com as it cracked internally after two hours on the court. This is the second time this has happened and I was hoping the first time this happened was just a fluke-I loved it that much. Apparently not. I am a tennis convert and found this paddle to be the ultimate transition paddle until it broke down quickly. I am more of a banger than a touch or precision player (coming from tennis) so keep that in mind. If they fix the durability issue I’d run back to this paddle in a minute. I’ve since ordered the Engage MX 6.0 16mm and like everything about it except the lighter weight and less head heavy.
Best Paddle I've Owned Richard Passman Intermediate
Pros: Reach improved with longer paddle. More control with thicker paddle design. More weight gives more power.
Cons: Paddle surface scratches easily.
Thick delaminating paddle. N Halter Intermediate
Pros: None
Cons: Paddle only lasted 1 month and then internal layers started to separate. Not good for $200 paddle. Would not recommend.
Great paddle - weight didn't slow me down at all. Chris Intermediate
Pros: Great control, able to produce good spin. Plenty of power.
Cons: Grip paint on the face will wear but the paddle spins well without it anyway.
Different Felicity Moss Intermediate
Pros: I am keeping it as a backup paddle or when I want to work on my dinking game as the weight slows me down some.
Cons: I found this paddle to be a little bulky for me. I wish it was available in a lighter weight. After I play with it for some time it starts to hurt my wrist.
Diadem Warrior Mark Riccitello Intermediate
Pros: Love this paddle plays similar too my Onyx premier but with a little more control frm the Diadem paddle
Cons: None
Thick and Sick! Anonymous Intermediate
Pros: Great shape and weight. Felt very in in control of my shots. The ball flew off the face of the paddle and came with some speed too. Loved this paddle a lot! It was sick in a good way!
Cons: Not a real con, but the thickness took a few rallies to adjust to, but after that it was all good.
Love this paddle! Marcus Intermediate
Pros: Great control paddle! Resets and drops are much easier. Short game is very consistent.
Cons: I am adjusting to being a touch slower on speed-up balls.
My New Gamer Jason Intermediate
Pros: This paddle provides me with the control I have been looking for at the net. My third shot drops have gotten more consistent as well. This paddle has upped my game to the next level.
Cons: None
