Pickleball Paddle, USA Pickleball Approved, 3K Raw Carbon Fiber Surface (CFS) High Grit & Spin, with 16MM Polypropylene Honeycomb Core, Ideal for Novice and Professional Players

My go to paddle is the Selkirk LUXX Invikta Control Air. But I’m a gear guy that loves trying different paddles, especially more affordable ones to see how they perform or could perform with minor mods. I like to play with Control, Spin and shot placement. In factory form, this paddle is lightweight, has the grittiest/most aggressive carbon faces that I’ve ever felt in terms of dragging fingernails across it. Comparing it to some of my other paddles like the ProKennex Kinetic Black Ace Ovation or Kindtic Pro Speed ii it’s like comparing 220 Grit Sand Paper to 400 Grit. Power is on the lower medium scale. Theres some pop but it’s definitely no rocket launcher. Spin potential is clearly there if I do my part. For me, Indid find that I needed a bit more stability when hard driven balls we’re coming at me and I needed to volley at the kitchen line/mid court. The handle is a slight rectangular profile, like Volkl Tennis racquets which I prefer. Overall very pleased with paddle, especially for the price point in factory form…but me being me wanted to improved it/tailor it for me sooo…. Added 10” x 1/2” Tungsten Weighted tape along the sides and throat of the paddle. Removed the grip Tape and added 1/8” adhesive foam strips on the sides of the handle to increase the rectangular profile/feel of the handle and wrapped it with Over Grip Tape to keep the circumference small. Big Transformation!!!😁. Volleying is stabile, shot placement and spin city on tap!!! My friends that have tried it are impressed and loved playing with it instead of their own paddles. The bangers liked how now they could swing aggressive with some spin and keep shots in and be able to slow down the tempo of the game by taking pace off the ball when returning it. If looking for a great all around paddle that is very affordable and offers control and spin potential I definitely recommend it.

I have purchased a few paddles in the past and this is one of the better ones for the price that I purchased it at. My family seems to always want to use mine now. Play for fun not professionally, but have used multiple paddles in past.

I bought this when I was looking for my first real paddle and have not been disappointed. It’s light weight and the texture on the paddle creates more noticeable spin. My friends and family have noticed my tendency to add some crazy spin on some shots and serves. It is great quality and I would highly recommend for beginners and intermediate players who are looking for a fair priced competitive paddle that will handle high performance tasks. It’s pretty accurate but then again that isn’t all about the paddle. I love this thing but the texture on it gets a little warm down after a lot of play but you can buy other things to fix it for cheaper than another paddle. All in all it performs well and is greatly suited for beginner to up their game.

I just received and opened it. My mom has a carbon pickle she paid $100 for. My new czrr x5 pro feels every bit as sturdy as that carbon pickle. Sweet spots are very similar sized. The czrr has a rough finish that is supposed to help with spin. The handle feels great for my big hand and it's decently sticky. I did a little pop drill and had nice control with the paddle. Ive only played 5 times total and have been using my mother's starter paddle it's a Franklin $100 fiberglass paddle. My czrr feels way better and has way better sweet spot. It also has more pop where there is no sweet spot than the Franklin, it's about the same as the carbon pickle. I bought it for like $42 on black Friday. The price already is now $69 and I would repurchase at $69 if it holds up. Better yet Id get 2 for $108 or whatever the current deal is. For the record I'm new to pickleball and have only touched 3 paddles so I can't say if it's comparable to expensive paddles. I will keep buying the less expensive Chinese paddles and will never purchase an expensive "name brand" paddle.

So I play a decent bit of pickle ball. At least once a week but sometimes up to 3 times. I play at a pretty decent level with some good guys. I will say that for the price this is the best racket you will find. It has really good control and grip of the ball and it’s pretty durable. I throw it around a good bit and it’s still fine. Also, it has a big sweet spot so you can hit most balls where you want them even at high speed play. It does get marks on the face of the paddle when you hit the ball. It looks a little ugly but doesn’t affect the performance at all. It stills hits the same. I’ve been using this paddle for quite a while now and it has improved my game. 10/10 would recommend!

Great paddle. Better control.

I’ve since then upgraded to Volair paddles but honestly this paddle is incredibly solid for the price. It’s definitely on the heavier side but I had a blast using this while I was searching for an upgrade. Perfect for beginners and vets alike tbh

Great first paddle. A little less responsive on off-center hits but offers great spin and decent power when hitting off the sweet spot.
