Blade X Power 13mm - Hybrid Kevlar® Pickleball Paddle

Great paddle, contol, maneuverability, speed in hand, soft feel with some dwell time because of kevlar carbon weave face. Spin is over 2100 and should remain. Above average linear speed when hitting sweet spot. Nice out of the box but hotter and more forgiving with 5 inch .5 gr stips starting an inch above the neck and 4 inches at the top. It fits like a glove has superior accuracy. If you like poppy paddles look elsewhere. You get what you give. Just ordered a second with the red Kevlar. Thanks Pakle for making the best paddle for the money hands down number 1, in performance and value.

Blue (13mm) - Blade X (lighter paddle)

Before playing with this paddle, the weight and balance of the paddle felt great ! When initially hitting some balls with it, I thought I might have made a mistake and I thought maybe I should have bought the 16mm but after getting used to it & sticking the 2 weights on the side of the racquet it has felt GREAT and it is only a matter of time when I will lose few games with this paddle. It has amazing CONTROL - GOOD spin (still trying to learn how to properly hit my topspin). It has GREAT power after I put the weights on the side. So far - I'm very happy with it and I have played like 4 hours with it.

Best Paddle I Have Purchased.

I am so pleased with my new paddle! In my opinion it just feels right. It took no time to acclimatize to the new paddle! I like the kevlar surface for better control and spin. I have recommended this paddle to members of our club.
