[@MattsPickleball]

Ha! Team HX, let's gooo!

[@KurtLangSimpson]

Great review Matt ... Thank you!

[@MattsPickleball]

Thanks!

[@nephipower]

It would be great for you to share paddle metrics of your OG Shapeshifter so we have a baseline that we are comparing against. Would you share that in the comments or video description please?

[@MattsPickleball]

Great suggestion! That info is in my paddle database :) on www.mattspickleball.com

[@robedwards6926]

How do you think the Shapeshifter is able to achieve so much spin? The carbon surface feels so smooth. Dwell time?

[@MattsPickleball]

@@robedwards6926 big time dwell time. It pockets the ball and that translates into excellent spinability!

[@rafaelbondoc2312]

Another solid review! Is there a huge gap in power between the new shapeshifter and the fire paddle? I have the original ss weighted up but I can generate my own power so it never feels like a pure control like a DBD

[@MattsPickleball]

@@rafaelbondoc2312 yes, big time, especially a weighted up Fire paddle personalized to your play-style and also because Fire is a 14mm paddle.

[@rafaelbondoc2312]

@ That’s good news since I’ve transitioned to power paddles from control. Fire paddle is being delivered today so I can’t wait to get some hours in

[@robedwards6926]

How would you compare the control and power of the HX to that of the Double Black Diamond (current paddle)?

[@MattsPickleball]

@@robedwards6926 DBD will feel a bit stiffer then these Shifters, which feels soft, have more power and pop-not an excessive amount more just more IMO. Shifter by a mile for control.

[@justintodd1120]

What do you feel is the best all court paddle that offers the most power?

[@MattsPickleball]

There isn't just one, but I'll give you some current favorites: Chorus Shapeshifter HX, Vatic Pro Saga Flash, Pickleball Apes Pulse S or V, Honolulu Pickleball J2K, J2TI, and I'm really enjoying the Bread & Butter Invader at the moment.

[@melissatodd3305]

@@MattsPickleball Backed into a corner forced to make a choice....Shapeshifter HX, Vatic Pro Saga, or the Pulse S and why. Thanks!!

[@MattsPickleball]

@@melissatodd3305 Saga Flash is my main right now because I love the way it feels in my hands, it's responsive, has good power and pop, (albeit a litttttle top heavy) and I can drive and put the ball away well with it-more so than the Shapeshifter IMO.
