"I really like this paddle. The weight is ideal for me, and the control is amazing. The paddle provides excellent "grip" for topspin and slices. My groundstrokes and drives are much more consistent, while my volleys and dinks have more finesse."

7 months usage

Fortunate to have had this paddle since I discovered pickleball. Only issue I found was the handle sides were too soft and flexed in with my thumb. I fixed this by adding lead tape and rewraping the handle. I'm moving up but this has never disappointed me. BTW, nice packaging.

Customer for life

I have been playing 4 years. I purchased the 16mm. The grip was an immediate perfect fit. The light weight allows me to return many more balls. My play has been very consistent. The price is right, too. I'm loving it.

Highly recommended and would purchase again

It was time to upgrade to a new paddle and I was so excited to get my 16mm control elongated paddle. I really loved the packaging and having a paddle cover.
I have noticed a difference in my game and the handle is the perfect width for a comfortable long game.
My kid has now decided it should be hers 🤣

Very impressed! Would recommend

I decided to buy a new paddle for my brothers as they've improved. As a 4.5 player using a Selkirk Power Air, I wanted to get them a paddle they can use for years, especially as they improve.

I was blown away when I tested out the paddle myself. The topspin on this paddle is UNREAL! The raw carbon fiber lets you get the best topspin I've ever had after using several paddles up to $250. After 100s of attempts, I couldn't even come close to recreating that top spin. Incredibly powerful for your serve. I scored multiple aces in one game thanks to it.

My brothers IMMEDIATELY started hitting their best shots ever. Their forehand shots would now cut down perfectly and were significantly more offensive.

I was also blown away by how well the control and absorption was at the net. I was hitting incredibly powerful shots down the line, and they could defend and slow down the ball at a level they never could've with their old paddles.

Buy this paddle if you'd like to improve your game instantly. You can easily use this paddle as you develop and into tournaments.

Perfection in motion indeed

The quality of this product stands up to any top tier paddle on the market. Packaging is sleek and professional. The durability of the paddle has held up without a scratch after many high speed games. 10/10 recommend the R1 paddle, plus you are supporting small business!!
