Loved the overall paddle award!! 10K!! Great job on your research and efforts to get us objective results. Please keep it up and hope your subscriber base continues to grow!

[@JEROMEBALUYUT-c9k]

After watching your paddle review for 2024, I’m convinced this channel is headed for 10k subs and beyond. Let’s go!

[@youlookgoodiwillnotlie8448]

Let’s get Rafa to 10k this year! You deserve it. 🏆🧑🏻‍💻

[@rickfieseler5592]

Terrific comparison vid with logic, intelligence, and clean understanding of the characteristics & qualities for each category. Best comparison ever seen!

[@aaronkelly9961]

Thanks for rating the shogun really high. I should have bought it as soon as I found out about it. A lot of other options and being cheap I still haven’t went for it and got one. Hey I hope you get that 10K

[@the_madtitan]

If you’re not subbed yet, you’re missing out a lot of great pickleball video contents. Let’s get Rafa to 10k already! ❤🙌

[@LeeByungHunP001]

just waiting for the 10k celebration video, Rafa, because it’s happening soon. let’s claim it!🥳

[@TheWeinertTeam]

Here’s to 10k! 🎉 Easily one of the top paddle reviews of 2024-so well thought out and informative. Your ability to break down the differences between paddle shapes, not just the ones you play with, really sets you apart. I’ve watched a lot of reviews, and you’re definitely among the best. Channels like yours are a godsend for newer pickleball fans like me-your insights help me understand the sport and make better decisions (and save money!). Looking forward to your take on the upcoming paddle drama and more great content in 2025. 10K is totally doable-can’t wait to follow along on the journey! Would love to hear your take on the new ProXR PROTOHYPE.

[@phillipp.3171]

Insane list, I am considering some of these paddles to buy fs, good luck toward 10k!

[@tylerhilgers8196]

Appreciate this in depth review of the year. Also love that you’re doing “people’s choice” rather than leaning heavily into your own bias. It’s fun to hear your thoughts but also what you believe to be the general thoughts.

[@jeremiahgentleman8097]

10k is on the way! 🎉

[@phild2937]

You deserve more than 10K subs based on the quality of content , dedication and hard work you put into this channel helping many people in the pickleball community. I agree with the choices made in the different categories, and fully agree on the Paddletek comment. Keep up the good work.

[@tonynewton6262]

Your humble and thoughtful reviews make your content stand out, always genuine and insightful! It's refreshing to see someone so grounded and relatable. Cheers to your amazing journey; here's to reaching 10K and beyond!

[@PickleballPatrick3]

Slowly getting onto KZbin and learning all the great reviewers! And coming to your page with this huge giveaway is massive! Amazing video, reviews and top paddle lists! Helping you to 10K!

[@kevinadkins8237]

As a control player, I use the OG Diadem Warrior (in each of its colorways😉). If I were to look at a newer paddle, which of these would have the most similar playing characteristics, as I love the touch of this paddle?

[@kevinadkins8237]

BTW, 10K😁

[@justplainevelyn]

Hope you get to 10K asap! Thanks for the great reviews & list. Helps me narrow down my next paddle purchase, which is soon to come.

[@benw63]

Great job on this roundup. Here’s one more towards 10k!

[@xxBM85xx]

Thank you for the great round up, as someone newer to the game hearing all of them compared gave me a way better understanding of the differences and is defiantly gonna help me decide on my next paddle! Can't wait to come along for the journey to 10k

[@degnash]

10K excellent review. I love hearing well thought-out analysis of paddles & their specs. Goes a long way when deciding/debating what my next paddle will be. Keep up the great work!

[@jchappanda]

Appreciate the thoughtfulness and time you put into every video! Great stuff in 2024. Road to 10K in 2025!

[@whatchahowsya8688]

*10K* is def doable! I'm still a new pickleball fan and having channels like yours has been godsend in helping me learn more about the sport. I love diving into all things pickleball with passionate people like yourself. Have an awesome 2025!

[@GavinLake-d6v]

*10k* Awesome job man, first time seeing one of your videos and I know you put a ton of work in to make these videos and the sacrifice you make to be able to do it. You’ll reach 10k in no time! keep it up!

[@Kevin-tj7fs]

Great video as always ! Lets get this man to 10K subs Asap- He deserves it. Been playing with the J2K bc of his review and I love it . happy new year to all you PB junkies . Drill those drops and resets so u don’t have to be a banger .

[@Cameron-k9t3k]

10K I hope I win because I bought some paddles and I used them once and they are braking already and my new year resolutions is to become a 4.0 in pickleball I hope you reach your goals to.

[@barkkk191]

Let’s get that 10k! Been loving your videos lately, it’s always nice to have more reviewers here because I can never get enough pickleball content😂

[@joelpennycook1998]

Appreciate the reviews and your different points of view on all the different paddle lines. Definitely saved me a few $ and buying the wrong paddle on many occasions!

[@lee-kt5zt]

Congratulations on the best of 2024 video. It was very informative and very put together and thought out video. You really explain about each paddle differently than some of the other channels, but in a great way. Congratulations again and hope your channel grows in 2025.

[@marcuspaul1317]

10K! Love the reviews and can’t wait to see more in 2025! With paddle tech changing so quickly recently it’s been hard to commit to buying a new paddle. I struggle with a preemptive fomo that the next best thing is going to be released right around the corner Have you seen any trends in release timings throughout the year or has it felt like a pretty constant stream throughout?

[@juancarlopantua5580]

10k all the way! Watching reviewers really gives me unique perspectives on seeing the game through the paddles or other equipments brands offered to the people which inevitably elevates my game. Thank you for the hardwork!

[@howardthompson3117]

10k baby! Thanks for all of your help! Not sure which one would be the best for me but I learn more off of videos like yours!

[@deltalimajuliet5680]

Also: appreciate the analysis, quality of your podcasts and compassion for the sport. Best regards in 2025!

[@kaisersozen]

10K let's goooo. Great job with the channel the past year, you've brought your own flair and knowledge to the content space, and the long interviews have been nice as well. Keep grinding and growing.

[@thaogal]

Great content! As someone new to the pickleball world, this video was extremely informative.

[@bobshakalu8758]

New pickleball player doing my research on which paddles are the best for playing my new fave sport! Love your recommendations, content, and community! 10K all day!!

[@michaeltull5298]

10k. Love your perspective. Cheers to reaching 10k by the end of the year.

[@hunterwelch8008]

Good luck on 10k bro! Great video man, I love seeing all of the top paddle performers. I'm a huge Bread and Buttet fan so I'm pumped to see them represent ! You definitely deserve the 10k!

[@harithnadzmizulhazmi2131]

Really appreciate how sincere and enthusiastic you are in your videos. I can feel your passion for pickleball and for sharing info with us. You deserve way more than 10K subscribers! Hope you get the recognition you deserve. 🎉

[@riopangan1111]

10K, 20K, 50K, 100K and more - you will get there because of your great work 😊🎉

[@JohnDaniel-g2u]

Thanks for all the hard work. Excited to see what comes in 2025 and hitting the channel's goal of 10K subscribers.

[@timwelch107]

Great job on video. I really like how you involved your viewership in the awards no one else is doing that. Ideas like that will help you get to your goal of 10K subscribers easily by the end of 2025. Keep up the great work, Happy Holidays and let's all go play some Pickleball.

[@scott8129]

On the way to 10k!

[@jasonwilly2025]

Love your reviews and insider tea! Lets get to 10k!

[@richarddelarosa193]

10k thanks for such a stellar review! Not only was it packed with info, but it was also 10k times more entertaining than I expected a paddle review to be (seriously, you made pickleball science fun). As someone who’s just hitting the 10k steps of my pickleball journey, your insight was like having a coach, comedian, and paddle expert all rolled into one. I’m now 10k percent sure of which paddle to buy, and when I smash my first 10k-worthy shot, I’ll be thinking of this video. Keep up the fantastic work-you’ve got my 10k-level appreciation! You seem like a genuine dude as well and it is incredibly nice of you to put together such a generous giveaway which legit has me excited to be entered. Happy that you are my first pickleball channel that I subscribed to. 😊

[@dokbi]

The effort you put in and the depth of research put into your reviews are amazing! This new year of 2025 will hopefully have more of your amazing work, Cheers to you and praying for 10K and much more for your amazing content!

[@stonepilot57]

10K All the Way!! Have loved your mix of paddle review and updates on the pickleball world. Only downside which I have is with your giving your resume at the beginning of your episodes. We know you're a super smart guy. Keep up the great work in pickleball.

[@tscjiv]

Wow, almost halfway to 10k! Great video. I'm hoping to try out the Pulse V, J2K/J2Ti, and Shapeshifter.

[@Tamedevil]

As a new pickleball player starting in 2023, i found your channel to be extremely helpful! Good luck in 2025!

[@bonmi3514]

10k

[@jyouYT]

Started PB this year and love these videos, Happy New Year! 10k here we come!!

[@DMah12]

Great video, I was looking forward to your top picks and also really liked the peoples choice perspective as well. All the best on your journey to 10K and beyond!

[@usaluxuryestates945]

Nice to hear your view on various up-to-date rackets.

[@braxtonhead5789]

10K! Awesome video! Keep up the good work. I’m sad to hear my recently purchased mod will be delisted in 2025, but I may have to try out the new Perseus after hearing you talk about it. Thanks a bunch!

[@gasly20010]

10k shoulda happened a long time ago-Let’s get you there! Really enjoy your deep dives into paddles and current events in pickleball. You easily had the best coverage in the joola gen 3 delisting debacle! Also, I’m gonna try out the Olympus spartus!

[@chessmasterjeff]

Great list. Would have liked to see the Joola 3S Scorpius up there for best control paddle. Would suggest for next year to add some new categories, like Best overall design and graphics, and Best bargain (for budget paddles under $50).

[@jimwaldemarsen472]

Here’s to 10k. There’s no reason you can’t hit your goal. Easily one of the top two 2024 Best Paddle Reviews I’ve watched in the past couple weeks and I’ve watched them all. You give great feedback on all the paddle shapes not just the one you play I think other reviewers could learn something from you. Looking forward to your reviews and take on the upcoming paddle drama on the horizon. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@jeffoyog1099]

I really like your clear and non biased reviews, 10k should be easily achievable in 2025. Good luck and keep up the great work.

[@BradyHilton]

Thank you so much for the time you put into these videos! I know you’ll reach the 10k for sure!

[@ernest4483]

[@gremm_value]

[@PBlvr777]

Love these reviews spot on, and I like that you’re not favoring any manufacturer over another or the big manufacturers over little guys…

[@JackTowne-k2r]

Thank you for your commitment to creating great content for the pickleball community and in particular us paddle geeks. Best of luck on your quest for 10K.

[@danieln5578]

[@BipinTamrakar]

[@gpkicks90]

10K 🎉🎉 Great stuff love how you broke it up into one award voted on by everyone and one of your choosing for each category

[@peytoncollier410]

10K for sure!!! FINALLY a “best of” that resonates with my fave paddles 😅 I’m definitely a fan of you and the Paddletek Bantam line 🎉❤👏🏽 This is such a good vid & it’s awesome that you gave your faves on top of the people’s choice, that’s amazing 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@HowieB-isMe3885]

I hope you get your 10K subscribers. That would be awesome. Lot of good paddles this year. 6.0 - I don’t know what they are doing but sure glad we have all of these other companies to innovate.

[@BertMacklin1776]

Happy new year! Love your comprehensive reviews. Looking forward to what you have in store for next year. 10K here we come!

[@christophermoore9079]

I’m calling 10K by the end of March based on this video alone. So concise and thorough. I appreciate the content and keep crushing it!

[@romymauricio3111]

Congrats Rafa! I love it how you give credit to other content creators on KZbin. Much success to you bro!

[@rogerbracy9285]

Wow ... I'm glad you do what you do... you help me to be inform on my decisions with no buyer remorse. Happy new year.

[@williamposeyjr1327]

10k is definitely possible. This is one of best if not the best paddle rankings I've seen. Only complaint is wish there was more discussion on 14mm. Just starting to get into 14mm paddles and the j2k is far and away my favorite right now. Anymore I should be looking at?

[@davidtorres8396]

10k! I love seeing Reload getting some recognition. I hope to see their type of paddle become the standard in the future.

[@HoaNhanVan31]

10K!!! Found your video today and I love how insightful you are. I am interested in broadening my pickleball paddle horizons and this channel was an easy subscribe. Goodluck my friend!

[@spola33]

Great video. As a J2K owner, I'm thrilled to see it chosen as paddle of the year from so many reviewers. Looking forward to your reviews in 2025. 10K all the way!

[@reidburrell9768]

10k 🎉I played with a J2K all year. Besides the surfaces being worn out in about 7 months it was a great paddle! Thinking of trying the TI next.

[@hruntingson]

From launch to now keeps getting better! Cheers to a great year!🥂 and a better 2025!

[@MarkSternMusic]

Thanks for the great content! You always kill it 💯 10k let’s goooo
