⚠ And be sure to check out my list of *Favorite Pickleball Accessories* in the video description. Lots of super fun things to add to your bag. Plus, 💰 *DISCOUNTS* 💰! And here are some of my *Top Amazon Finds* as well! ➡ amzn.to/4f5exo8 ⚠ 📌 Price correction! It looks like the DBDe is $171 after promo code *MATTHEWK* -- not what I stated in the video. I still think it's a good value and easy to recommend for the reasons I shared in the review. Not sure how the numbers got mixed up. My apologies!
I've had multiple people say that their old double black is still by far their favorite paddle. The new version being an improvement is pretty compelling!
Have any of your friends bought one in 2024? I heard some people say the 2023 ones feel better than the 2024 ones even though apparently nothing changed
Been maining it for about a month players at the court say it sounds like a gunshot on drives. Smaller sweet spot not very forgiving off of it but once you dial it in it’s very fun.
@ I loved the original. But that 15mm, and elongated reach give it that extra pop/power that really compliments the control well. Cause the control is perfect but it needed that extra edge

Nice paddle!
Thanks for the great review!
Thanks for watching! 🙏
I don't use elongated paddles. I wonder if it will take me a long time to get used to an elongated paddle, especially one as long as this one.
Yeah, hard to predict! I liked it for the whips, not the 2-handers. Felt super maneuverable for me personally, and I typically play with hybrids.
My new main paddle!
Were you a fan of the original?

Yeah, I like the changes as well. The new version whips really well, which wasn’t the case with the OG.
How’s the hand speed at the net?
The OG is probs faster, but you get more whip with this one.
what no one talks about is that the grit doesnt last , theyve cheapened their products
Interesting! When did you clock the grit changing?
@@MatthewKPickleball after a month of use with my newest DBD , the grit is significantly gone and the spin has dropped so much
@@danmakesvideos3951 Had you gotten a DBD before? Just curious if the grit wears down faster now compared to older batches.
@@MatthewKPickleball yea , im on my second dbd because my first one lasted 6 months and the grit is a smooth and gone
price is now $190
Yes, I pinned a note! It’s $171 after promo code MATTHEWK now. Do you know if the price went up, or did I get something wrong when I recorded?
