MEGA Kevlar Paddle Review (20+ paddles): J2k, J7K, LAZR-16X, Dunamis, Katana, Ruby, X3, Apollo, ETC

[@MattyRut2922]

Never apologize for long videos. I love them.

[@barkkk191]

Please keep making comparison videos like these; reviews are nice but comparisons w/ data make it so easy for me to make a decision when I’m buying a paddle

[@not.traffic]

After watching this video, I like the MarkOne, J2K, Hurache-X Control 14, Lazer 16X, VivaPro G3, and Apollo. And the J7K/Pro. There are so many good paddles!

[@SKe711]

WHAT A REVIEW/RANKING VIDEO! i thought i knew quite a bit of the Kevlar paddles out there, but you helped me know about 2 that i didnt know about! thanks!

[@Palace.Pickleball]

Thanks for all the hard work you've obviously put into this project. It's very appreciated.

[@dwsarmy]

Can't get enough of your reviews! I was skeptical about going to kevlar because of the pop and power but your breakdown has got me convinced to try out kevlar. I am a Honolulu pickleball company supporter to the max I love the J3 for indoor play and the J2 for outdoor play. I can't wait to try the J3k, J7K, and the J2k.

[@PickleballMedicine]

Honolulu is a solid company, definitely in my top few to work with! They make great paddles and they care a ton about their customers.

[@danapple5]

Such good, detailed information. Appreciate your work compiling and testing everything.

[@waynekurtz660]

I don't need to buy a new paddle! Stop making me want to buy more with your excellent reviews!

[@wingng5024]

Thanks for all of your effort and time to review all these paddles.

[@Woof-n7j]

Great video and lots of good information! After watching, decided to pull the trigger on the Mark one. Loved it so much, I now also own the Mark two. Great company and great paddles!

[@keithheintzleman7831]

Thanks for an excellent series of reviews. I found your organization by value, and then by power helpful, since friends often ask me what to buy. I presently use a Ruby, and I'm weighing my options for my next paddle. I'd be interested in seeing your thoughts on the low swing-weight Pikkl Hurricane 16 mm paddle (Tyra Black plays with the 14 mm version), which has top-tier power and spin, unusual for a Standard Shaped paddle.

[@JaLock501]

This is the first I’ve heard of the Ethos Dunamis. It is a really interesting paddle. I’m interested but I want to see more. Please do a full review when the official release drops

[@PickleballMedicine]

You bet! I touched base with the owner, and he reports they should have some production-level models to send out here in a day or two. Stay tuned!

[@utusmc]

been playing with the j2k and I agree with your assessment of all court leaning control. great review!

[@zp753]

This covers a lot, thanks for narrowing it down.

[@timothyngo933]

I recently ordered the J2K and can’t wait to try it out!

[@sunilsidhwani4757]

You have a way of thoroughly detailing each review which makes it all the more convincing on whether to or not to go for a particular paddle.

[@corbanward31]

I’m a tennis player who has recently had gotten more into pickleball and in turn gotten way to deep in pickleball gear. I’ve been trying to find a new paddle and been debating Kevlar. These last two videos have been amazing in helping me find the differences.

[@PickleballPals]

Had the Ruby for many months - giving the J2K a try next!

[@QuentinWalls]

Great review as always, but you're not helping my paddle addiction issues! 🤣 I'm really enjoying the J2K so far.

[@PickleballMedicine]

hahaha, I think this video itself is evidence you and I have the same problem... 😅

[@MChow-l1h]

I am new to pickleball and have been watching reviews. Your review is among the best! Spartus Apollo seems to fit me the best.

[@Taegeuki]

I like a lot information in one video like this. Well done. I want to trying Hurache-X Control 14mm now.

[@bundan5]

lots of paddles to compare! thanks for the work!

[@htdinhusa]

Thank you for the review. This is a lot of information to chew on. Would like to hear how you would compare the J3K to this list of paddles.

[@ToJoMayer]

Great offering. I bought a Ruby last November, when it first came out. It turns out that my daughter got pregnant with twins in December, and unbeknownst to me, she had already picked out Ruby as the name for her daughter. God willing, in a month I’ll have a granddaughter named Ruby. Of course, I cannot ruin the paddle, so I’ll retire it, hang it in her room, and buy another one. This examination is just what the doctor ordered. I will examine it closely to find my next Kevlar paddle. Right now, the first two in the video seem to fit my style. Thanks Pickleball Medicine.

[@mra3373]

Worth listening to a couple times. Excellent review.

[@TheUnreadNovel]

All of these comparisons are just making me want to spend money 😂

[@PickleballMedicine]

haha truthfully, sometimes if a company is taking too long to send me a paddle, I get too impatient and just buy one myself so I can get it faster... 😂

[@tuki1690]

Excellent video!!! Very instructive and detailed...a friend of mine let me use his Hudef Viva Gen 3...it did not disappoint. Great work!

[@D3p1xel8]

Excellent content. Do we need to fill out the Google form for this video if we already filled out the Google form for part 1?

[@PickleballMedicine]

thank you very much!! And no, you should be set after the one entry. Good luck!!

[@danpiedra3910]

Excellent video!! Well done. I’ve been using the tapes PLE since July 2023 and love it. More recently I’ve started using the J7K and love the extra pop of it.

[@henry0712]

Great review. My wife plays with the Mark One and loves the blend of power, pop, and control. This paddle upped her game, immediately.

[@timmymann8]

Thinking of switching to Kevlar. Would love to try one of these before buying. Thanks for the reviews.

[@johntea8082]

Awesome work! Much dedication to put all this together. Thank you for fueling the paddle addiction lol

[@Rated4Weight84]

This is the one right here. Much gratitude, brother🤙

[@CharacterFormationCoaching]

Loved this Mega Review! Really helped me decide what my next paddle will be.

[@twodubz2280]

I love comparison videos. It’s ok if they’re long videos!

[@timothyngo933]

Thank you for the in depth review!

[@any]

Wow this was a fun video to watch. I can tell you put in a lot of time and thought into this.

[@jsbjr710]

Very thorough and in depth analysis. Much appreciated!

[@tylernguyen8511]

Great review! I like the wide variety of kevlars your reviewing.

[@user-bx7qg7ls1f]

Excellent analysis and review , interesting seeing all the new Kevlar paddles

[@kolbybixler7574]

I love my Apollo, and I just got a Viva Pro gen 3, looking forward to playing with it.

[@PickleballMedicine]

awesome, let me know what you think!!

[@tylerhilgers8196]

Love this! This review is exactly what I’ve been looking for - tons of Kevlar paddles side by side. Would love to win something. Thanks for doing the giveaways!

[@mkong5949]

Thanks for going through the effort to compare all these kevlar paddles!

[@Loops1001]

Always such great videos!

[@tommykoo2393]

Super helpful comparison on all the Kevlar paddles. Can’t wait to see reviews on Titanium!

[@beckhamgarcia2817]

Information-packed and well-presented 👏

[@psf780]

Great comparison and review. I am looking at j2k as my next paddle. ❤

[@danielbartling4228]

Very in-depth and detail oriented. Keep up the solid work and thanks for the dedication!

[@timbranson1386]

3.5 - 4.0 player here (depending on the day ;-) I tried a demo of the Gruvn' LZR-16 yesterday and really I liked it - I think. I say that bc it was a really humid day and the grip, in addition to being on the small side for me, is slick as hell! Had a tough time holding on to it. Obviously needs an over grip, but one would think a little better grip would come with it. That said, when I was able to get it dried between every other point, I liked it as an all-court paddle bc I'm neither a total power or control player, although tend to the control side. I don't know about the comparisons, but I think your review is close to what I experienced. Great reviews! Thanks!

[@user-qf9js3qg6l]

Thank you for really going in depth with each paddle option as I am in the market for a new paddle! Keep up the amazing work!

[@austindickenson8168]

Awesome work! Anytime I thought of a question you would pop up with the answer a few seconds later. Great review/comparison for a ton of paddles in a relatively short amount of time.

[@michaelchung6607]

Awesome comparison video! Thank you!

[@Autieriable]

Great video that provides detailed of each paddle

[@rplusmphoto]

Thanks for a thorough breakdown of the kevlar paddles... learned a lot and looking into adding one to my bag.

[@HAH]

Great review of so many paddles.

[@jameswang2300]

Thanks for the reviews. Thought about changing to a Kevlar paddle. Interested in Spartus Apollo due to low swing weight and good price.

[@MCNPorter]

Thanks for all the nice reviews... and no need to apologize for (supposedly) long videos.

[@Itskjb813]

I love nerding out over these paddles and you didn’t disappoint here! Great workn

[@paullin2844]

Thank you for the detail reviews!

[@ubaldogarcia6010]

Wow! Very helpful, thank you for your time and effort on this!

[@PanamaLou-zk3xe]

Doctor great videos ! Thank you for all the time spent. One question Sir: would love for you to add, as soon as you get it, the new B&B Fat Boy please. Very curious on your expert opinion after spending so much time with all these Kevlar paddles. To know your very appreciated thoughts with regards to all these. Another question Sir: what happened to Onix? The old Onix Evoke Premier 13mm and 16mm used to be my favorite paddles some years ago and now nothing from them? Hopefully like Paddletek, they can make a comeback. Keep up the great work Doctor. Saludos from Panama.

[@PickleballMedicine]

Thank you very much, I appreciate that!! and for sure, I can do that. I actually just got the FatBoy in yesterday, so I'm excited to see how it stacks up. As far as Onix.. man I have no idea! I feel like they haven't put a lot of work into innovation in the past number of years, but it would be cool to see them come up with something new and adopt one of these new materials for their paddles or something.

[@user-ln4ls3mi6u]

Great overview and much appreciated! I am very intrigued by the Kevlar paddles appreciate your explanation of the nuanced differences.

[@arctic9804]

Great video! This really helped me pick which paddle I’m going to get!! Thanks for the awesome content!

[@robi.legend]

Great vid, man

[@johnnicks2567]

Love Kevlar! I play with a J2k. Great review. Subscribed!!

[@sjjohnny]

Nice reviews, data driven and concise. I wish you'd review Juciao paddles - they have a following, have USAPA approved paddles, and manufacture the Selkirk import line... and I'm sure other lines as well. Thanks.

[@TalentLau]

very helpful as I'm looking at a few of these paddles as my next one

[@760Piper]

Great recap!!! A lot to unpack there but I’ve got some ideas after watching your videos. Thanks for doing this.

[@jnfriesen1]

Love the in depth analysis. Thanks! 🔥🔥🔥

[@2ch4ngz]

Epic Kevlar paddle review 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@RayCharound]

15:24 my boy's tea must be up with all that time spent in the kitchen

[@rogerfernandez4839]

Great insight and details on all of these paddles. You raised interesting thoughts on paddles I hadn't thought about, and think again on ones I had, but thought I'd pass on. Keep it up!

[@supercho85]

Thanks for the analysis

[@spyder0989]

Please consider doing a video reviewing all of the 14mm Kevlar paddles once the Honolulu J2K 14mm is released in August.

[@ErickL-gl7ps]
