Love my Pulse V

considering j2k pro is part of j2k series too? haha.. and how is it compare to invader?

Your SW & TW #'s seem off by comparison? Curious why no one uses "images" for sweet spots like PLAYERS PICKLEBAL does.

Great Video! Have you tried the Vatic Pro Saga Flash? I’m mainly wondering the maneuverability with it and the power

A lot of flak over future banned paddles, but this is a 2024 list, they don’t get banned for another 6 months. You should likely be replacing a paddle after six months of play anyways. So I’m on Kev’s side, they should be on the list.

Where did you put the weight on the neonic flare prime x

Bruhh really a d-listed, illegal paddle as top paddle! There's absolutely no way you can be taken serious as a pickleball youtuber! It's like telling an athelete to take a banned substance until they get caught. Or recommending a car who's engjne will blow at 10,000 miles, but go ahead buy it, enjoy it while you can. I believe in 2nd chances, redeem yourself make another video with a revision.

Great video , how did you set up the prime x flare with weight ?

I tried the j2k…sent it back and got the J2k pro…its like night and day…the pro has more power more pop but similar control and similar sweet spot…everyone should check that one out and let me know what ya think….they have a 10 day demo program so zero risk

Great video, and great list! Thank you very much! Curious as to how you weight your Prime X?

Cmon man, don't put a delisted paddle on your list (mod).

Love the list, looking forward to your reviews in 2025! One of the paddles I played with this year that flies under the radar is the Body Helix X4. Really fantastic spin, and a solid all court paddle. I want to see what they come up with next year :)

Not "best Power Paddle." Best "cheater paddle."

Can we Get the Gen 3 paddle that Got banned for Cheap :)

16mm 14mm?

nice panda

How does the pop compare to the PaddleTek Bantam ALW-C 14?

what software do you use to edit your videos?

Thanks for the video; i have a demo coming as i type. You need to work on your ready position at the NVZ with the inclusion of a quick split step as opponent readies to hit. Your right elbow needs to in front of your body a bit more instead of floating outside while you attempt to locate the next ball. You’re losing time by not returning to the same set position after you strike the ball. Quick punch or roll and paddle resets while readying for the triangle based return.

Kevin, you could vastly improve your game by getting your paddle up and out in front in ready position after every shot. You tend to hold it low down by your side which causes you to miss many defensive shots, and hit shots too high because you are going from low to high with your paddle and hitting up on the ball.

Gosh, the 3.5's should not be hitting the net as often as they are, heck they have a full paddle! They've tried no lobs (harder to hit hard with the tiny paddle) or much else in their arsenal. You sure these two are 3.5's? Sorry, I can't even watch to the end, the mistakes are rookie mistakes and numerous!

You asked for comments so... 1. 3rd shot drop! : Both 3.5 players are trying to drive through 2 players standing forward. driving from the base line works if the opponents are too lazy to move forward. If they are at the kithchen; Lob or drop. Faster younger taller men can usually smash a lob back. 3rd shot drop is a much higher percentage shot and it was not part of the 3.5 game shown today. 2. Dink better! : This 3.5 team was trying to speed up to early while the dinks were still very low. Be patient. Wait until the bounce is higher or they hit into the net. Recognize when they are out of position to split the middle. 3. Avoid dinking wide! This is when you give away the ATP. ATPs are demoralizing and take you out of the next 2 points mentally. 4. Service return: Return deep and slow to give yourself time to charge the kitchen. If your returns are strong, low and fast, you wont have enough time to get to the kitchen. A strong fast return should only be used if you have enough time to get into proper foward position. A higher slower return is more advantageous because THEY have to wait for it to bounce before returning it. Make them wait longer! 5. Cleaner flatter swings! : Avoid an under-hand swing. Try to swing you paddle flatter. under-hand swings have excellent left and right control but little height control. Height control is more important. A flat hit from the left or right has less directional control but is more precise with height control. Height control is more important then directional control. I can go on, but if you can fix these basic items you can beat the guys with the little paddles. Kenny.

Get that boy Cade mic upped

“Yeah, just hit him!” That’s always a good strat. Man those guys are good. Might need to give them wooden planks next time and rematch them.

Whats better than this with spin n forgiveness?

IS HE SERIOUSLY USING A KNIFE TO REMOVE THOSE STAPLES!!??😮😮 ONE SLIP and you are getting 30 stiches and done playing until December!!!

What was the stock swingweight?

Paddle is ugly af and you know it. I realize you're getting paid for this and they want you to pretend you love the graphics so kudos to you for being able to say with a straight face that you think it looks good when we both know it looks like a $20 amazon Nupoopoo paddle.

i've never heard/seen this and they website doesn't say anything about it. What is the purpose and use of this ?

Gen2 is cool, I enjoyed the Neonic Flare and Monarch Control but I've been using the Paddletek Bantem TKO-CX and before that the Vatic Prism Flash. Sometimes I feel like Gen 1.5 is underrated. That being said I am excited for new tech in pickleball particularly w the Ronbus Ripple!

Thank you for the video, my paddle’s cap was loose and I used the electrical tape to reinforce the fit, it’s perfect now!

The paddle I got core crushed/delaminated after 2 weeks of play. During that time, it continued to get hotter and hotter until it was uncontrollable. This is a well documented problem from many players online. Joola will only replace one paddle and will not honor a return on the replacement. Their other Gen 3 paddles were banned shortly after they sold them and now the Mod Tech paddle only lasts a few weeks. I would not recommend this paddle or Joola as a company.

The Elongated Gearbox Pro Power Pickleball Paddle is the best pickleball paddle on the market

Thanks for this!

Does every pb reviewer really have to wear a melin hat. You really just a mini Chris.

I can’t wait for my paddle to come!!

What a thorough and detailed review! The images are top-notch quality. Thanks for sharing your expertise and opinion!

I love my Hyper Beat Two! Noticed a difference in my game from the first time used it. Have more power and control with the Beatnik Paddle. Excited to try more products from the brand!

This is just a great review. The content is super thorough and the recording quality is top notch!!

Top!🔥

What about a staple remover?

You touched on it briefly but would Love to hear more about head-to-head comparison with Gearbox Ultimate. The mod ahouldn't feel as head heavy and play slightly more forgiving with a full edge gaurd. Am I missing anything else besides durability and QC issues?

John mentioned the top spin with him was 2600 rpm

You do know that the “titanium “ is really PET or polyethylene threads…

Good Stuff! I can't wait to try out this paddle.

Awesome review, thanks Kevin!

Used this paddle for the first time today. This thing is awesome out of the box plenty of power, control, and spin. It’s got it all.

Great review, and yes, this is a 4.0+ paddle. I demoed over 10 paddles and this was by far the closest to the feeling I get when playing tennis. The dynamic playability is off the charts compared to other paddles. Mine is leaded up to 8.7 oz and feels perfect with a yonex super grap overgrip. Cheers! 😊
