I got the hurricane pro 14mm. If I put 3g of lead tape on each side (6g total) what would the new Tw and Sw be?

Bought it. Disappointed as it's on the smaller side and I feel like the magnets for the bottle holder aren't strong enough and won't last

Doesnt ProXR own paddletek

Excellent! Concise and informative. Thanks!

What about Spartus?

I bought it but just didn’t work for me in terms of internal space. I got the ADV one and really like it. I think it is really personal taste.

Would love to see where y'all rank Spartus in the next tier list, I think they've made some quality releases

Getting a control paddle with 14mm is the best option

Love mine. No regrets

great video! new sub here

😂😂😂

Love my KTCHN bag, got it a few weeks ago. Just brought it to my recent trip to ATL. It fit my 21” laptop and 3 paddles (4th paddle just purchased lol; ESQ), sunglasses and 8 balls with room to spare

Awesome review!

Plain and simple - it is a great product. Period - Tim M

- the average hater: “Wow! Who on earth would buy a $300 pickleball bag??” - also the average hater *owns multiple paddles worth $250 or more each that they never play with

Thanks Braydon! Amazing content and loved the review. All genuine feedback too ❤

I've seen only one of these at any open play or tournament. The owner seemed exactly like the kind of person that buys $300 pickleball bags.

I agree with everything in this video and thanks for confirming my thoughts on this paddle. Awesome content sir, well done!

Sleeping on ACE paddles!!

Great video! Do you have a power paddle😮 that you just recommend overall for an intermediate to advanced player?

Is there a way to eventually replicate the PBCoR test and use it as a means of actually quantifying the size of a paddle's sweet spot?

Man, DJ is solid. He has a new fan!

There are a bunch of barefoot style shoes that run a lot of ads. I tried one of them and found them super comfortable, but kept shifting or even slipping out during play. I don't use them for pickleball, but wear them a lot bc they're so comfortable. Would like to see you guys try different barefoot shoes and see what you think.

This test is directly misleading and considers all paddles tested to be of static stiffness. This is a total joke.

You mentioned this wouldn’t be your go-to for power paddles. Which would you recommend?

This is very helpful! Did you find you needed to add more weight to lighter or shorter paddles to get the same improvement in twist weight or power? Or is it simply you add the same amount of tape regardless of starting paddle weight and shape? I would imagine a shorter or lighter paddle just gives you the ability to add more weight before you reach an unmanageable swing weight.

Any tips from making the adjustment from elongated to wide body? I’ve been playing a Franklin signature and just ordered a jellybean. Most of my sweet spot misses are lateral/left or right of the sweet spot. I have a tennis background so I’m worried it may be a longer transition but really like the idea of more forgiveness from a wide body.

Started with a Friday Paddle…just went to a Neonic Force and luv it….might pick up of a Volair Mach 2 Forza to check out the spin and control…lots of paddle choices it makes my head spin

Great job!

Hey gents, another great podcast, thank you! I love your insight into all things pickleball. In regards to the paddle ratings, I’m looking forward to your inclusion of other brands as well. However… Paddletek for the dub!! They ARE fantastic paddles! Gen 1, no thermoforming, no delam, no foam and a lifetime warranty, no worries! Made in USA. That being said, I feel like they stood patient and receptive during the huge rise in paddles coming to market only to drop some extraordinary paddles in the aftermath. I feel like other good companies will follow suit. I’m excited to see what Six Zero, Engage, Selkirk etc for example will drum up after the new USAPA standards come into effect. Thanks again!

Thanks for the explanation about the USAP new rules. You made is easy to understand. Another awesome podcast!

Carl Schmidts from USAP is not happy that podcasters are talking about PBCoR testing. From Carl: " The information JK [John Kew] presented is a) partial and for manufacturers only as we are still in commenting period, and b) will be presented to the public once complete. It's unfortunate you, and JK, have jumped to these conclusions without asking further questions. Also - we've been publicizing progress on this since May." First, it's curious that Carl doesn't know that podcasters have close relationships with manufacturers and, therefore, this supposedly confidential information will leak out. Second, why oh why is the information confidential? USAP could do themselves a favor by appearing transparent by releasing the information.

Vatic Pro Prism Flash or the Hyperion CAS 16 for a beginner?

Seems that a system that "swings" the paddle instead of stationary,, would be more accurate of a real game scenario.i.e. golf club swing robots. Body Helix idea is great. Hoping the new 007 brings something new to the game. New player to paddle manufacturing GB Sports is comiing out with an all aluminim core and face sheeet. There's a guy near me who;s been making paddles in his garage with aluminum cores with CF faces for years. My GB Pro Pwr E has been my go to once I figured it out. High price yes, but patents are expensive. There is no one copying them because of it.

I will add that Paddletek and Engage have both donated paddles to our Breast Cancer Awareness raffle and to a friend of mine traveling to the Philippines. They have both been giving back and supporting pickleball and worthy events.

So when you guys beat the Olsons, it would be great is they had to wear PB Effect shirts or hats on their next pod - think that would be cool and would increase visibility for PB Effect - I suppose you guys would have to wear PB Studio stuff if you lose but we know that’s not happening

Expect USAP to do a better job of pickleball.

Enjoy the podcast. Will brands such as Honolulu, HUDEF, Gruvn appear in the next paddle company tier list?

Great podcast. It's been a long time waiting for CRBN Trufoam.

Loved this episode gentlemen. Creating massive value for all of us as always. Thank you for your work.

If you're betting on futures as well as price, I think proXR has at least gotta be B tier... you're betting futures on others way more expensive and also saying paddletech is way up there when you know they're gonna use the same core as paddletech (it's within the same company now?) On their new paddle

CRBN took too long, so I just bought the Ripple and Mod TA instead. Oh well 🤷‍♂️

I’ve been playing with a Ruby for almost 6 months now, seems that the pop and power is wearing down some. I’m stuck between the Tempest and Bantam, I played with a Tempest 14.3 and loved it. Should I take a chance and order the Bantam 14.3? I want more power but while keeping good control for sinking and resets.

Are they making the power test equipment available for purchase or clear reproduction providing specs? I wonder how mfgs will be able to do R&D without it?

What would be PBCor number for ModTA, gearbox and some of these really hot paddles? Do we have any data regarding these?

EDIT: I should have waited to the end before posting. You said the same exact thing. 🤦‍♂️ Everything you said about 11six24 is how I feel about Chorus pickleball. This is especially true about research and testing before releasing a paddle.

sleeping on honolulu pickleball company apparently 😴💤

As paddles "break in" and become more hot, I imagine a paddle that tests as 0.43 CoR new would likely be much higher after a few weeks of use.
