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

[@Palace.Pickleball]

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

[@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!

[@danapple5]

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

[@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.

[@wingng5024]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@JoelAbreu930]

finally! been looking for a comparison video on all these kevlar paddles! Awesome review!

[@ToJoFickleFan]

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.

[@dwsarmy]

I can't get enough of your reviews. Can't wait to play with the J2K and the J7K

[@good4dgoose]

Awesome stuff. Looking forward to the next iteration of this style of review/giveaway!

[@luisaquino5556]

Wish I had found this video sooner, the Gruvn Lazr has really peaked my interest, I'm coming from a J2 carbon fiber paddle. Thanks for going over each of these paddles

[@CortexCompiler]

Nice comprehensive review. I found the specific comparisons with the other paddles particularly useful.

[@utusmc]

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

[@johntea8082]

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

[@danielbartling4228]

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

[@Itskjb813]

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

[@zp753]

This covers a lot, thanks for narrowing it down.

[@timothyngo933]

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

[@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.

[@tylernguyen8511]

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

[@ChaseDera]

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!

[@seeyinng]

Thank you for the extensive review of these paddles….with so many new paddles and companies, I am confused what I should consider as my next paddle. Your video helps me narrow down few options. Thanks and I’ll be watching your other videos.

[@SteveandDebBentley]

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

[@jsbjr710]

Very thorough and in depth analysis. Much appreciated!

[@any]

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

[@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.

[@milk7td]

Nice detailed video

[@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.

[@jps99jps99utube]

Impressive work! Thanks for taking the time to do this - very informative and helpful. Keep up the great work!

[@Taegeuki]

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

[@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.

[@DouglasDun-p5u]

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

[@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!

[@karensermersheim9110]

I'm looking for a Kevlar paddle & you've provided a lot of great options, with specific details. Thank you!

[@tommykoo2393]

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

[@rplusmphoto]

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

[@mkong5949]

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

[@mikedossett-q6c]

Nice review, thanks for putting in the time and effort to test and review all these paddles.

[@michelleroberts3552]

I am new to pickleball and am loving your data driven reviews!

[@760Piper]

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

[@bundan5]

[@Loops1001]

[@dnhd_]

I like how informative these video are. Keep it up with the video

[@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!

[@Mrgride64]

Very informative review. Liked how you based it with the best purchase price for your needs.

[@wyldelee17]

Great review as always! Very impressed with the detail and comparisons.

[@georgebrewster7861]

WOW! That was some serious testing. Thank you for the vids and the information on all of the paddles. Keep up the great work. 🏓

[@PickleballPals]

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

[@maggierodriguez9393]

I loved the Kevlar paddle, found to be stable and good spinner. Loved my six zero Ruby!

[@lennonlesslethal]

Glad I found your channel. This is very well done. Thanks.

[@sonotzozo]

Late to the game, but I'm here for it. Great info in this gem of a video.

[@andysunder1500]

Love the content I actually bought my first paddle based on one of your videos.

[@BenCallaway-b1t]

Very nice work, man. The pickleball community thanks you.

[@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!

[@timothyngo933]

Thank you for the in depth review!

[@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!

[@waynekurtz660]

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

[@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.

[@arctic9804]

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

[@OlsenJ1632]

Very informative review, thank you for putting this together! Such a great list of paddles!

[@Readydrop]

This was a fun series to watch Cant wait for whats next

[@Rated4Weight84]

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

[@paullin2844]

Thank you for the detail reviews!

[@timmymann8]

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

[@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!

[@vanillaghetto]

I'm new to pickleball and really like your review videos!

[@beckhamgarcia2817]

Information-packed and well-presented 👏

[@jnfriesen1]

Love the in depth analysis. Thanks! 🔥🔥🔥

[@psf780]

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

[@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!

[@ubaldogarcia6010]

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

[@mra3373]

Worth listening to a couple times. Excellent review.

[@Autieriable]

Great video that provides detailed of each paddle

[@Oceansearcher]

I like how you covered a mega amount of paddles

[@HAH]

Great review of so many paddles.

[@jwilboo]

Enjoying all your reviews.👍

[@twodubz2280]

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

[@michaelchung6607]

Awesome comparison video! Thank you!

[@SlickPulsar]

Great video, was looking for a kevlar comparison!

[@LouisBrown19]

Love this video. Thank you to mention my favorite paddle-Hudef Viva Pro Gen3.

[@emmanuellopez3303]

Thanks for reviewing the Katana paddle

[@AndyMai1]

Awesome video, appreciate the comparisons!

[@kevinrogers304]

Thanks for helping with the crazy amount of paddles

[@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... 😅

[@ErickL-gl7ps]

Great details! Keep it up!

[@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!!

[@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.

[@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.

[@KennethFinch74]

Thanks Dustin, good work as usual!

[@markkowatch7998]

THANKS for the great details and data.. helpful for us engineers.

[@pcwizardsd]

Great video. Thanks for the detailed comparison

[@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!!

[@metalmedal]

Thanks for sharing all these paddles

[@TalentLau]

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