question is will the ripples be banned

Smoking that MOD pack. #goodriddance

So the pros don’t have to contend with these paddles but rec players do. Huh

They only approved the BETA ripple and never approved the apparently more powerful PRODUCTION ripple

pro kennex is the ugliest shit i ever seen

Black Ace sucks Racquetball racket no spin can't keep it in.

Good. It's better for the game.

Oh bummer, it's a lot of fun beating those Mod's and GB Pros with my $99 Vatic Flash.

Crazy, as far as the Black Ace Pro, I have played one for about 6 months. It's powerful but nothing compared to the new power paddles. I can swing all out on drives with very few going long. I have tried some power paddles that are very difficult to keep the ball in the court. Not sure I understand the thinking with the USAP.

Sounds fair to me. Those Mod's hit different. The pop messes with my eyes when I'm tracking the ball and with how the game is changing, it gives some players in the lower levels an advantage

I can’t understand why people keep buying Joolas after the last fiasco

Well that was fast..

Kevlar paddles are always intriguing to me!

Does the discount code still work? I tried and no luck

What’s your thoughts versus the J3K pro

The one I got is awful! Tiny sweet spot with a huge drop-off in power. Inconsistent and can't play reliably with it. 4.25 player here. I complained to Spartus and returned it. They said nothing was wrong with it; I absolutely don't agree. Charged me a 25% restocking fee to return this awful paddle.

apollo is the worst paddle. WHY WOULD PEOPLE SAY IT'S GOOD?

3:51 that was Fed like

paddle covers … I use them as dividers in my bag. I have the Vatic Pro Backpack which I love, but middle paddle compartment doesn’t have dividers/sleeves. Typically I will carry a couple of paddles in their covers and put them to the back. Then, the one or two paddles I want quick access to I will put in front between covers acting as dividers/sleeves.

Great video as always man. TKO-C ftw!!! maybe not paddle of the year but definitely a super fun paddle to play if you like to be a menace at the net lol.

Jacob, glad one of our high school tennis teams were good. We sucked. 🤣 Took me another 5+ years after high school to get decent at tennis. David, you might add theraband flexbar to your forearm exercises. Eccentric stretch/strengthening, probably start with green one. We love, love love our Lifetime courts built over the basketball court. We have no issue with bounce, and you realize how much forgiveness on the lower body it provides when you go play at other facilities. Jacob … you are a young dude with knee sleeves … just sayin. 😉 fyi … I now like the Lifetime ball better than the X40 … bounces better and seems to last longer. Now they need to make it optic yellow rather than green. I have not played on any other cushioned courts yet … I heard Ace Pickleball has cushioned courts. Indoor pickleball facilities need to learn from indoor tennis clubs … indirect lighting pointed up and reflected off white ceiling.

Apollo is an amazing paddle. I rotate between that, the Mod, Power Air, DBD, and Black Ace, but I always go back to the Apollo against solid players and it’s my comfort paddle with lots of control and spin. Might grab a Jelly Bean.

Thanks for your sharing.

The shape of the supercourt is what I like.

Good podcast. Any information about CRBN Trufoam?

Happy holidays!

How would you compare to the esq 12? Which do you prefer? I feel like esq bothers me with the random dead spots? I tried the neonic fpx.. do you like that more or the sx?

The 12.7 feels so advanced. I’ve been popping up a lot more but I think it’ll make me better at the mechanics ultimately. Here’s hoping.

Ben "demoted" Colin to run camps I'm guessing. CJ is such a baby on the court no one is eager to take him as a partner. Glad SELKIRK and the others are standing up to BIG PICKLE.!! Paddle companies need to ditch the tech that needs "break in" If edge guards use them for perimeter weight, using weight tape on a "edgeless" works fine. My gripe with edge guards is they are so bulky or oversized. They could make them "slimmer" or lower profile at the face I carry several paddles around and use covers so they won't scuff up the others.

You guys mentioned how you weighted the B&B invader, any changes to the amount and placement you made to these paddles after playing with them more? I just purchased this paddle and any advice around weighting the edges would be appreciated. Thanks

Cutthroat American business as usual

I saw that kitchen post... Show Pony

Paddle covers: had a person looking at a Filth today and was excited to see they came with a cover. Most folks have 1 paddle, maybe 2 or 3, but rarely more, so covers make sense. For my demo bag I have 10 paddles so put a cover on every other one.

Definitely start your son young if you want him to have a future. Look at tennis, ALL Division 1 up to Pros start at a young age, it's unheard of to get to those levels if you start any further than age 14. Your son would definitely have an advantage if you start him young. You know PB will be a high school sport in the coming years, it's already a college sport...only going to get bigger.

I keep the paddle covers on all of my paddles. Mostly because I don't know what else to do with them. Although, I do really like the cover for my J2Ti. Speaking of the J2Ti, it is one of my favorite looking paddles along with the Vatic Pro Sagas and the Bread & Butter paddles. Happy holidays and great podcast guys! Jacob, I hope you feel better soon.

Seriously! PPA vs UPPA or whatever acronymn….its like VHS vs Betamax…..new yrs reaolution….become adults and get 1 official governing body

Any idea when Proton Flamingo releases?

Hope you feel better, Jacob and thank you for your contribution to PB all year long! Happy holidays guys!

Happy holidays!!!

Appreciate all the hard work you’ve put into these reviews!! Looks like J2K will be on my Christmas list 🔥

Wow, I didn't know affiliate code name have gone the way of domain name squatting. oh, the colors on the shirt looks like that uniform for Star Trek: TNG.

Is the Invader more powerful than J2Ti ?

Were the CRBN Trufoam paddles needing retesting for PBCoR? They were approved back in July and August for all three shapes. Also, do you have any info on pricing yet?

You're the best dude. Love how real you are. Happy Holidays!!!!!!

Torn between the j2k and the ruby. I'd love a 6" handle and prefer the softest touch.

Love the speed up drill!

Where did you get the stick on wall hooks?

I'm currently using the Ronbus R1 Pulsar thermoformed. I saw a huge boost in my spin with this paddle. Despite having a 117 swing weight I would prefer something lower, and I wanted to know which types of paddles offered more spin or dwell time. Do you have any recs?

I don’t like the j2k Very much. I bought the spartus Olympus and the j2k. I feel like j2k control for anyone under 4.0

Can you recommend any paddle which feels similar to scorpeus Gen3s. I love the trampoline feeling little slow on the net and little poppy so trying to find similar feel paddle but more control. I tried pulse V and Gearbox Hyper but they are not the same. Thanks
