I don't know any details about that. The date keeps moving. I was told by them once that they were planning on launching their new paddle in April ha. Sorry I can't help you there.
I used the M2F14 in Dallas but have been playing with the J2K off and on the last couple of weeks and am digging it. Might keep playing with it for a bit.
I just ordered a BIGWOOD "all" wood paddle. Hoping it arrives in the next couple weeks. CHEETAH has put out ARAMID cores for awhile. My CHEETAH PREDION 10 sounds like a 22LR going off when you hit it.
@@bicyclethief that’s true. More or less just curious that if and when they are available if they’re worth it. There aren’t many good breakdowns on them except Johnkews
So I had the set early and me and Braydon did run the numbers but they never told me anything about a break in time so we are going to try and get them again and give them a fair shake in testing this time around
@@DinkSmashMedia yeah I heard you mention that on the pod. So I’m going to assume the numbers weren’t great then? Since you didn’t seem too impressed and gave them away lol
Great pod guys! Was awesome chatting in-person this past weekend Braydon! Kyle I heard Braydon used those new muscles to remove you from the plane to Dallas... we'll catch up soon but also do better man smh. Getting those Komodo paddles in tmrrw so we'll need to chat thoughts soon - Rafa
I can't find my source but the Komodo Katana is Gen 1 paddle. Their website does confirm that they use a spray on coating ("frosted coating"). Proton... I am absolutely interested in because I hate that spin wears down over time with normal paddles.
Thank you, Braydon great podcast. Have not seen many of the 40 podcast but would respectfully recommend at the beginning of each podcast, say a little about each person. I know Pickleball Effect, Idaho, your story, but I do not know anything about Kyle ? Also, would be helpful if when you talk about the paddles or Companies of paddles and accessories, to put a photo or maybe have them, if possible, in person so you can show them. And finally, I also would recommend having a segment on each podcast of pickleball accessories and get a commission on them. I think a lot of viewers would like that, especially if they are like me, not in all the Discord and other new media formats. Keep up the great work and all the best in your Pickleball Effect venture. For your info, a paddle aficionado ( so not to say geek ) from Panama, Central America. Semi-retired, going on about 69 paddles bought in 3 years. Love your paddle Hot List ( very unique and very helpful ! ), and I think you are the only one doing this, that I know of. Saludos from Panama.
Hi, I would really like if the TV and UA-cam channels would realize that Pickleball is not tennis. Why do we have to view the game from the end of the court? We miss a lot of action because the net obscures a lot of the plays on the far end. The dinking and volleying would be better seen from the middle. I would love to hear other opinions on this subject….thanks
I think they know that and that’s why we see that kitchen cam sometimes which I’m not a total fan of but I would like to see some more angles. Singles the end of the court view makes more sense
I remember MLP playing with new angles in their broadcast when they first started but since they merged with PPA the experimentation stopped there. I've seen PPA do a higher angle partially from the side and not directly behind them that I liked for the reasons you mentioned but I don't know why they stopped that. Part of me thinks that it's just simple and easier to set up a camera there so they do it.
I have like 8 or so of the Gen 3s and a couple of them had some sharp areas on the handle like you mentioned. I agree, it's really annoying though an overgrip solved the issue for me.
I enjoyed the podcast and the information from you and Kyle.
Appreciate that!
Great episode! “Call center Kyle!”
I should just have some PB companies pay me to do their customer phone support lol
@@DinkSmashMedia lol you may be onto something!
Great to meet you Braydon! Looking forward to the next time... We'll have to squeeze in a round of golf in between PB matches! -- Eddie
I enjoyed meeting you too, I'm sure we'll see each other again and I'll have my clubs with me!
Excited to see what the katana performs like and what the new paddles coming from komodo are. Also the back story involving Andre Agassi
My komodos came in today and I sent the ceo an email about that Agassi backstory. Total fail on my part for not asking on our phone call
@@DinkSmashMedia no apologies needed sir! the effort you put in is amazing
Try the Apollo on your Kevlar shoot out!
It will be in there
Thanks for your reply!
Will Crbn be coming out with a new paddle soon?
Braydon probably has more info but I heard a new power paddle is dropping very soon
Ok, thnx
Nice you guys

Still playing with the Prism for tournamnets?

Hey Braydon, any updates on when your volair paddle is coming out?
Original timeline expectation was mid June but I haven't gotten any more detail than that from Volair yet.
Good pod! Would love to see a review on the protons- and whether the hype is real.
what's the point of reviews on Proton paddles when they're never available (at least the ones with the nanotec surface) to buy?
@@bicyclethiefthey are losing so many sales with a lack of availability. CEO said they would have more soon, but then the pine tar happened...

I know I need to get back in the gym so Braydon stops bullying me around!
haha Kyle has been trying to hush that I man handled him like that. Once he can beat me in a wrestling match I'll let him travel with me.

I wanna kick it with drunk Doug haha
I think we all do. We need a Bread&Butter meetup in Florida

This is great feedback, thank you. Tuning in from Panama! I'm glad you enjoy the show, we have a lot of fun doing it!

I had to take the grip off the joola 3 paddel grind down the sharp areas
The Handel's are poorly made

Been waiting for my Proton paddle for about 5 months now… Every month they say they’re about to be shipped… Still waiting…
That’s ridiculous
That’s absolutely insane.
Owl spin is disgusting and has crazy power
First
We love you Drum 😂
