    Super excited to get mine. It just shipped. Also a plus, when I had a question about the paddle. The company’s customer support was amazing and they were really helpful. So that’s always a plus when a company has amazing customer support.

    It's nice to see J2K getting some love. Looking forward to seeing it in the reviews of other major review channels

    I have been thinking of trying a Kevlar paddle. Thanks for the review.

    I'd love a comparison between the J2k Pro and the Thrive Azul. Any thoughts? thanks

    I recieved my J2K and after 2 play sessions. Great sweet spot, and blend of control. Fantastic paddle and 30% cheaper than ruby

      I really like my J2K as well. Super quality. If this paddle doesn't work for you, then it's you. Don't need a new rifle...just a better marksman.

    Excellent review! Very thorough and informative! Thank you!
    Small mistake near the very end where you said Viva Pro Gen 2 and meant Gen 3.

    • @PickleballMedicine
      @PickleballMedicine  3 місяці тому +1

      Oooh darn, you're right! Thank you for that.. I suppose I'll continue my streak of having at least 1 mistake in each video 😅

    Update: I got the paddle a few weeks ago and really like it a lot! Definitely better control and spin, but it doesn't put any limitations on power either. Just a really solid all-round paddle - oh, and it's noticeably more forgiving with its slightly larger sweet spot.

  • @AlaricBishop1993

    It's hard to tell the difference in pace between them, but it did feel like the Hudef viva pro gen3 was very good when serving.

    What do you see as the benefits of Kevlar over Carbon Finer Paddles?

  • @tomski1111
    @tomski1111 2 місяці тому

    Pretty strong indicator that these paddles are going to be popular; the pre-orders just sold out of the Pro.

    How is allowable spin rates for rec play determined?

    Just bought the j2k pro. Hopefully I made the right decision.

  • @chuntan3130

    what is the stock weight for both?

    Where did you get those custom paddle covers (looking at your picture covers in the back)

    • @PickleballMedicine

      A company called Pickle Ballerz sent them to me! This is the link to their site:

    I don't see the Spartus Apollo in your comparison photo of paddles. Did you compare these to that paddle?

    • @j03n4rd
      @j03n4rd 3 місяці тому

      was also looking for this paddle into the comparison!

    • @PickleballMedicine
      @PickleballMedicine  3 місяці тому

      I wish I did, but I haven't been able to get one yet, unfortunately! I should have one arranged to get here next week, though, and I'll be sure to make comparisons between it and the others asap!

    I hit with the azul and it was no power and dead when hit off center.

    I need more power with j2k pro

  • @alexpazmino4762
    @alexpazmino4762 2 місяці тому

    How do use clean these all Kevlar paddles? You can’t use the erasers like the carbon fiber paddles right?

    • @datther
      @datther 2 місяці тому

      Yes, you can….my Body Helix X3 came with a paddle “eraser.” It’s a Kevlar/ carbon weave

  • @Dara-ij3qg
    @Dara-ij3qg 2 місяці тому +10

    Buyer beware. This Christian company has stamped bible verse “John3:16” to top of paddle on both sides. Sword and Shield is a Christian reference. J2K is “Journey to the Kingdom”. This company is using pickleball paddles to evangelize.

    • @samsnmarques
      @samsnmarques Місяць тому +20

      In that case I’ll take 2!

      Amazing! Better to defend against you satanic folk

    • @Bananahammock88
      @Bananahammock88 Місяць тому +11

      I’ll take 14! What is the purpose for warning people against God? Are you in favor of Satan?

      If they're truly loving all people, I have no problem with it: doesn't really seem like proselytizing (and I'm not a believer but I believe in respecting all people!).
