Thrive FURY Elongated 15.5 MM (GEN 3.5 POWER SERIES)

Nice Paddle

I ended up getting a great deal picking up this solid paddle during GOAT Pickleball's Grand Opening! The discount was awesome, I ended up paying $170+ instead of full price. The elongated shape (16.5" total length × 7.5" width) gives a noticeable extra reach compared to standard paddles. If you’re comfortable with a slightly longer paddle, the extra reach is one of the major benefits. The feel is crisp, and you can get aggressive drives with less effort than some more control-oriented paddles. Even though the FURY is power-leaning, it doesn’t feel out of control, but if you prioritize ultra-soft feel or long dwell for delicate drop shots, this may not be the absolute top pick. This paddle's face texture gives a good bite so it does deliver respectable spin for a power-oriented model and given that it has great handling, it paired really well with my aggressive, power-driven playing style.
