Best Widebody Pickleball Paddles of 2024!

[@zoiks6631]

They should make a 14 mm version of the Fatboy and call it the Fatboy Slim. 🎉🎉🎉

[@aggiejason4305]

Love my Apollo. Gotta get that Dragon.

[@cardinals5516]

Excellent video! The Apollo looks awesome with the gold.

[@YorkyPoo_UAV]

I have my Year of the Dragon arriving next week. It will be my first paddle. We play every shift at the firehouse for 5+ hours between calls.

[@AllDriveNoDropPickleball]

That’s awesome you get to do that at work !

[@joshuamacer]

I like fat boy paddle I have but I tend to use jelly bean even more…just won gold with it out of 17 teams. I agree with your analysis of those two…

[@wolf-xf6hf]

Keep your eye out in the neonic flare and flare prime. They both have an extra extra long handle and are a standard face. The flare is 16mm with a golden titanium weave on the face and the flare prime is a carbon fiber fiber glass layup and feels almost exactly like the paddletek alw

[@AllDriveNoDropPickleball]

Sounds like some exciting paddles, gold too wow

The ALW is great I definitely want to try the long handle model when it's out.

[@justaboy813]

Ordered the Jelly Bean on Wednesday and used your code… thanks, brother!

[@AllDriveNoDropPickleball]

Thank you appreciate the support and hope you enjoy it!

[@dominionn09]

ALW is my go to. I play the 12.7. It's still has feel and all the power you need. I like the simplicity of design too. Want the longer handle version when it comes back in stock

[@justaboy813]

The Fat Boy looks so good… just love the aesthetics

[@760Piper]

Playing an “All Drive No Drop” style!!!! Let’s Go!!!

[@AllDriveNoDropPickleball]

Yessssssss!

[@markwenstrom3778]

Great rundown of the widebody space. And again, I really appreciate how you walk through your tungsten setup for each paddle.

[@AllDriveNoDropPickleball]

Thanks Mark! Trying to experiment with more setups

[@jeffreyvelez5727]

Thanks for the awesome reviews on the wide body’s……… I have wide body paddles on my list as my next purchase…….I see the hurricane pro in your pic but I see no review on it yet…..wondering if you’re doing a review on the hurricane pro? Stats on it are pretty good just trying to figure how it plays……

[@AllDriveNoDropPickleball]

It plays well. It is similar to the M2F 14mm with less pop and more power. I was going to but ran out of time and there are other paddles I’m moving on to. A good priced widebody and solid performer.

[@HowieB-isMe3885]

Looking at the monarch all court as i think it would have a little more control on blocks and resets than the fatboy. Using the M2 Forza 14mm with 3 grams of weight at 4 and 8 oclock and I want a little more baseline power

[@AllDriveNoDropPickleball]

@@HowieB-isMe3885 I used the M2F 14mm as my main and was having the same problem just wanted more power. The Monarch All Court definitely achieves that

[@ArianaWilson-]

Love this kind of video. Will it come in hybrid shape?

[@AllDriveNoDropPickleball]

Yes it will

[@not.traffic]

Solid list with good info, brother. Thanks.

[@LouisBrown19]

Thanks for the list. Hope to see elongated shape!

[@twodubz2280]

Great picks! Also love the hat 😊

[@AllDriveNoDropPickleball]

Thank you!

[@DianSusiana98]

Good job. I have a HUDEF Mage Pro Gen2, Fatboy seems good too.

[@rockymosquera412]

Love your videos! I know this video is best widebodies of 2024, but curious to know where some of the 2023 widebodies (primarily CRBN 2X, Legacy Pro-S, and Scorpius) would be slotted into these rankings? TIA!

[@AllDriveNoDropPickleball]

The CRBN 2X and Scorpeus are good options too and I know people that love the Scorpeus just overpriced in my opinion. Never tried the Legacy Pro-S not sure what Legacy is up to these days

[@mikeanddebmcmahon1314]

The Ronbus fx 2 didn’t make the list?

[@AllDriveNoDropPickleball]

It should have it was robbed of a spot! For real though, it is one of the smoothest all court widebodies

[@phothivathphengkhamkip9341]

Very nice

[@fyip2010]

Does anybody have any thoughts about the Pikkl Hurricane Pro? The specs look good but there are not much reviews on this paddle.

[@AllDriveNoDropPickleball]

14 or 16?

[@fyip2010]

@@AllDriveNoDropPickleball sorry thinking of the 14 since I currently play with the Gruvn 13S and it’s due for a replacement.

[@AllDriveNoDropPickleball]

@@fyip2010 It is similar to the M2F 14mm with a little less pop and a little more power

[@AlanChang1]

Hearing so much about these wide body and I wonder if I have a chance to try one of them. The year of the dragon seems bit too late since its only about 6 months to the year of the snake. I still like the look of the Fat Boy.

[@AllDriveNoDropPickleball]

Sounds like you just planned the next colorway for Spartus

[@AlanChang1]

Or launch an Anaconda or Python. Tech folks like me will like the name.

[@peteherrera1502]

What is the best all carbon fiber widebody pickleball paddle?

[@AllDriveNoDropPickleball]

Volair Mach 2 Forza 16mm or GRUvN MUVNs. The ALW and Jelly Bean are carbon fiber but have a fiberglass layer

[@kevincobb4549]

When does that special edition Apollo come out ?

[@AllDriveNoDropPickleball]

Shoukd be out by September but no official release date #soon

[@kevincobb4549]

[@esscentialthymes6355]

Love my new Fat Boy!!! It's awesome!

[@mikeshapiro74]

Got my Jellybean the other day. Played with for the 1st time today. 1st hour was just getting the feel for it. By the 2nd hour I was understanding the paddle better. Where would you add lead or tungsten to the Jellybean?

[@AllDriveNoDropPickleball]

Start with 3 going from the bottom corner up and see how you like it. If you think it is still fast in yours hands I’d move it up for more power if that is what you want.

[@lesterma1608]

Yes the jelly needs weight, 4and 8 o’clock and I put some on the very top to make the plow through better, for me this set up makes a great difference, please move the weights around for your feeling!

[@Nauptwellness]

Do you prefer the 14.3 over the 12.7 version of the ALW? Is there a big power difference between the 2 versions?

[@AllDriveNoDropPickleball]

I do prefer the 14.3 it gives me better feel and touch. You can get more pop with the 12.7 and I got more power with the 14.3

[@nm-ls8tb]

Please review the Neonic Flare paddle also a wide body paddle with titanium face 16 mm

I will just got it yesterday!

@@AllDriveNoDropPickleball thank you and I will wait for your review

[@DeanKim-x1b]

Thx for the great reviews as usual! I’m a senior playing the M2F 16 mm but need more offense. Will the Monarch AC be difficult to control after playing the M2F?

[@AllDriveNoDropPickleball]

It might take a little getting used to but I see no reason you won’t be able to harness the capability of the paddle.

[@DeanKim-x1b]

@@AllDriveNoDropPickleball Thx, I’ll definitely use your code when I purchase it!

[@davehansen1169]

I moved from the M2 Forza 16mm to the Monarch All Court. I love the paddle. It's very maneuverable, stable and provides more offensive capability (pop/power) than the Forza. The pop is very controllable.

[@indkeith]

@@davehansen1169 I also have the Forza. I have enjoyed my control/ resetting with it. Thought about trying something a little more offensive, but haven't convinced myself yet.

[@user-ty4uj4fh9w]

I wonder how specifically the power/pop compares with the apollo vs jellybean. Can anyone comment?

[@AllDriveNoDropPickleball]

Stock I was getting a little more power on the Jelly Bean and more pop with the Apollo

The best wide body I’ve had in 2024 is… your mama jokes used to be so popular, what happened to them?… sorry I got distracted there, the best wide body I’ve had in 2024 is your highly recommended Spartus Apollo.

Why is your apollo different from the normal

Hey, it is the new colorway coming soon the year of the dragon.

[@kimleith1378]

Give the PLAYERS Rouge2Q a try. Been out before all these on your list. Smaller company that only sells from their site. Built for vibration control mostly. Dude, clean your paddle faces before you hold them up.Ha Ha.

[@AllDriveNoDropPickleball]

Can’t try all the paddles these days we have hundreds maybe over 1k manufacturers. As for cleaning them sometimes I do sometimes I don’t

[@kimleith1378]

@@AllDriveNoDropPickleball For sure the market is saturated with paddles and you can't get to all of them especially if your'e out of pocket for them. PLAYERS has been in the paddle biz long before any of those on this list. No judgment, just sayin.

Never heard of that paddle. Any good? have not seen any reviews on it either...No twist weight or swing weight specs on their web site..thats a little suspect. Doesnt look like they use the better carbon fiber either.
