“After dinking for a few minutes with a friend's paddle, I decided to order one for myself. Honeslty, I did not do extensive research to understand the difference between CFS and CAS, but I get it: CFS should probably retain the "grit" longer... I did not buy this paddle exclusively for the increased (and lasting) spin, I bought it because I thought it would help me withr esets and to get better control with my kitchen game.I played with it once, for about two hours last night and already felt it super easy to play with. Every time I got a new paddle (Engage, Players Pickleball, Paddletek and Pro Kennex) I felt there was a decent "break in" time, in terms of getting used to how the paddle feels, how it hits, weight, etc. This Joola felt like I had been playing with it for months! All my shots went where I wanted them to (well, excepts the one I missed). All kidding aside, a great paddle right out of the box and super easy to handle. I am not a "power" player, so I will not comment on its "pop" or "speed"... but for control and resets, I am super impressed! I highly recommend. The price point at Amazon is also very good, compared to other brands.My DUPR rating is 3.85 and I play about 4 times a week.”
“Better control, great spin, can contribute to improved control over the ball. This is especially true for competitive pickleball players who need to be able to place the ball accurately and precisely. thanks.”
“I began playing several months ago with a normal $50 for two kind of paddle. I am athletic and play a lot of sports and know that quality equipment does make a difference and this paddle made a huge difference for me. Most of all i notice my reach increase and the grip comfort for my hand size. I am 6'1. The paddle is heavier but nothing that should impact your speed. The sweet spot is large and i have very few miss hits where it rattles of the edge guard. The rounded top, does make me feel like i have a bigger surface to play with. My touch is very consistent with this paddle. The white grip, after 30+ games, yes it's a bit dirty but the paddle still looks great. I love color and this has some fun colors compared to others. You won't be disappointed with this paddle, very much an upgrade. I am a 3.0+ player.”
“A friend allowed me to try this paddle, that she had just purchased. Wow! What an immediate difference it made in my game play. Lightweight, good control and power with less effort. The handle is nicely ribbed too for maintaining a proper grip. As soon as I got home that day, I hopped on the Amazon website and placed my order….wish I had expedited delivery, but alas, I had to wait a few extra days for delivery. Once it arrived I took it with me to a local institution clinic. At one point that morning the professional PB instructor needed a paddle to demonstrate a technique, so I quick offered him my new paddle. He took one swing with it, looked to inspect what was in his hand, then turned to me and said, “Wow, this is a really nice paddle.” I knew it was, but to get the validation from a pro, made my day!”
