ValorPro 𝙍𝙚𝙫𝙞𝙚𝙬 + 𝙂𝙄𝙑𝙀𝘼𝙒𝘼𝙔: A Thrive Azul 𝙐𝙥𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙙𝙚

[@StephenPReynolds]

Dustin, your review is right on! This is a strong contender for a near Gen 3 paddle at a great price. Love the video review and mix of paddle, commentary, and play. Keep it coming!!! See you on the court again soon.

[@PickleballMedicine]

Hey thanks, Steve! Super nice to hear it held up to the expectations you had for it after we talked. I'm excited to get out and hit with you again and see what it does for you!!

[@jonathanbaptista3637]

Sweet looking paddle would love to try one with that power and pop

[@barkkk191]

Great to see more paddles with price in mind, seems like all the new paddles nowadays continue to charge higher prices to our detriment. Good on NXT Gen for offering a cost-efficient paddle in the Valor Pro. Thanks for the in depth review!

[@bethr2745]

Love the face material. Would love to experience a Titanium Paddle.

[@mrpapijoe]

Loved the review! I found your channel recently and i honestly gotta say its quickly becoming one of my favorite pickleball channels. there is a pretty overwhelming number of paddle releases now-a-days, but thanks to reviewers such as yourself it's a lot easier navigating through all those new paddles and finding the ones that are most worth our consideration (such as the one in this very video! lol)

[@Dandotexe]

I’m currently playing with a Thrive Azul 117 SW spec and love the playstyle it affords me. I am very spin heavy as a former table tennis lover and the combination of the power pop from the Azul and spin + athleticism lets me have so much fun on the court. As such, I’d love to try the Valor Pro and am definitely interested in it as my next paddle.

[@bigoz1971]

Great review, Nice looking paddle it looks to fill the gap between all court and the foam enhanced paddles.

[@AshizawaHome]

Thx for your review Pickleball Medicine! As a local Canadian brand, NXTGen has done a fantastic job keeping up with the latest technology and coming out with paddles that fit every player. I'm a longtime user of the NXTGen ATLAS paddle (which is great for control) but have recently been playing around with the Valor to see if I can add more power to game. Meanwhile, my husband uses the NXTGen AeroPro for power but is finding some great midcourt transition shots with the Valor! This paddle might be the perfect go between to elevate our games and we can't wait to keep testing them out!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@DouglasDun-p5u]

This sounds like a very intriguing paddle. I’m a fan of the Thrive Azul so if this is an improvement I would love to try it!

[@barriedelmundo5247]

Great review! I enjoyed the Azul, and this paddle is really interesting.

[@markg565]

Unique paddle with its big pop and power with a higher twist weight from a non wide body shape … also looks good with the white edges

[@AlanChang1]

I'm not sure if this is more poppy than I like but you did mentioned it's more of a control and I'd like that. I like how they put the X on their paddles. It's like marking the sweet spot area.

[@bucsorange]

Great review! I can't wait to give this paddle a try - Hudef Gen 3 is currently my main

[@DebMcQuillen]

Great review. There was a time when we only looked at the big names for quality paddles and the cost was getting crazy. It's so nice to see another small company producing a quality paddle at a fair price.

[@emahatrogers]

I am currently using the Valor as my primary outdoor paddle. Its really helped me with my 3rd shot drives, mid court rolls and put aways. Previously I didnt have confidence with the mid court rolls as i couldnt always get enough topspin to keep it in the court. The bite on this paddle helps. The soft part of the game is pretty good too, especially for my backhand as I struggle to heal from tennis elbow. The pop and firmness from this paddle helps for those shots. Excellent paddle NxtGen. Thank you!

[@spola33]

Always enjoy your reviews. Add this one to the wishlist. 😂

[@LouisBrown19]

Thanks for your review. Wanted to try a titanium paddle.

[@robi.legend]

Sounds like they're on the map now, after this gem. Thanks for the details.

[@timjohnson6100]

It's very good looking. Thanks for all the great videos!

[@Aurelia45-k3b]

Thanks for the review. Always great to see more small companies pop up with great paddles

[@robertbenjamin5230]

My head is exploding with all the new reasonably priced innovative paddles. Thanks for making it a bit easier to make sense of it all. Since the Mark Pickleball Kinetic and the Hudef Mage Gen 2 14mm are my current 2 faves this Valor Pro sounds like I would love it as well. Thanks for all your efforts

[@ilzephyrli]

Damn would love to try the Valor! Haven't tried a titanium paddle yet.

[@lyonelpearce7813]

Innovations such these new surface layup are quite interesting. The advances in construction techniques that have accompanied these varied materials are equally insteresting. I look forward to seeing what is next.

[@morganmiller3477]

Absolutely love the weave, would love to try one!

[@cardinals5516]

Thanks for the great review. Seems like a very nice price for this paddle.

[@MrAchilles113]

This paddle looks very cool! Would be very interested to try one out!

[@ethannguyen9684]

Great review. Need to check this one out!

[@Ricecrackerz]

Ever since the Joola Gen 3s have hit the market, been loving power paddles. Hoping to try this one out too!

[@allom0927]

Thank you again for a wonderful review! Definitely looking into other companies and this might be the one.

[@Palace.Pickleball]

Talk about well-rounded. This paddle is attracting me almost as much as i am attracting it.

[@khoawin]

love the styling!

[@GaryAu_PB]

There's so many good option and loving this as a new reasonably priced paddle

[@rambel5810]

Very nice video! I like the Thrive Azul so this paddle may be a good one to play with

[@haydenlipsey14]

Love to see all the new paddles coming to the market! I’m running a older Selkirk and can’t wait to be able to get or try some of these awesome paddles you review.

[@Sendmelvyn]

Thank you so much for doing these giveaways!

[@hyoukjinlee2737]

Have the thrive azul and love it, would love to see how this is for sure

[@greenjamwithham]

Solid review, I was set on a Fat Boy but this does have me second guessing! Thanks!

[@kravitz88]

Sounds like my next hybrid paddle 🎉

[@christianeprice]

Dustin I love it! It’s like you’re the first one on top of this, but please also review the NEXUS PROSTAR! I think it has similar attributes, but actually maybe hits harder than the Thrive Azul! Seems like more people need to know about these special PET/titanium weave options that are not yet well known big brands. Appreciate you for looking out for linear power to effort options.

[@sojiromifune]

I appreciate your comparison to the Azul. This sounds like a very promising paddle at a reasonable price.

[@vinceatcraigs2425]

As usual, an excellent and data rich review, with the added benefit of a chance to win the paddle.

[@RickJacked]

Looks great as I use the thrive azul when that breaks down I'll have to consider this as a cheaper option.

[@stevenlamfit]

I do like the face design of the paddle. Wishing it had a 5.5" handle though.

[@fabioconceicao3315]

Great review Dustin! My main is the Thrive Azul which I love but you got me intrigued with the Valor Pro after watching your review. I’m always on the lookout for the next paddle to play with and this one could be the one. Keep on making great reviews as it helps us all in the pickleball community.

[@jnfriesen1]

Love the design of the paddle. Can’t beat extra pop too! 🔥🔥🔥

[@austinchang1398]

I really enjoyed the azul. This sounds like a great upgrade to it.

[@YellowRice101]

Love that there are so many good paddles from non mainstream brands that don’t inflate the market

[@jt2uscify]

Great review, debating between this and the J2TI

[@NabilaMHusain]

Been looking for an affordable but top performing power paddle. This one looks promising, trust your reviews!

[@marierivera9115]

This paddle looks really great!

[@kietquach1033]

This paddle looks great!!

[@DontGoChasinHM07]

The VALOR PRO looks clean!

[@JDCothran87]

Debating between this and the B&B Shogun. I like pop, but I also like the plush feeling

[@ToJoFickleFan]

This year has been the craziest yet, for new paddle types. Good presentation, as usual. As a former tennis player, I can adjust my game to play the style required to make a paddle work best for me, and my preferences in paddle type have slowly moved from pure power to softer and more control. However, when I pick up a power paddled it always feels good. So, now I can’t make up my mind how to graduate from my Ruby, but this might be paddle to spice up the options in my backpack. Thanks again.

[@Rated4Weight84]

What a complete package! This shall be my next main, I believe~ Thanks for facilitating the giveaway🤙

[@njtabayan1]

Thank you for the review, this is a new brand for me to check out

[@beckhamgarcia2817]

This paddle is going to give my game a welcome boost! I can already feel it in my hands. Top notch review, man.

[@DaYDaC]

Nice, a titanium paddle with power and pop!

[@Oceansearcher]

Would like to compare it myself. I think I'd prefer this

[@nguoi_dep]

The exposed cross fiber design rlly unique, considering trying one out now

[@lootina]

Thank you, I am looking forward to try titanium paddle. I am currently using Engage pursuit pro 14 mm and would like to compare mine with this.

[@patrickvoo]

Nice! Seen a lot of players with the Valor Pro but haven't yet had an opportunity to get my hands on one!

[@chrisdyoon]

That paddle is so extremely beautiful!

[@Zeromeasure]

I would love to try a titanium paddle

[@mphan999]

Love to try this new tech titanium power paddle.

[@aznballer13]

These look pretty sick.

[@danpodina438]

I am really interested in trying out this polyester filament paddle

[@Mad_Mardigan]

Thanks for the review! The azul looks great! Can't wait to get my hands on it.

[@kadenwallace5922]

Might have to buy one! Seems like a very high quality paddle for the price.

[@y2washere]

Big fan of Titanium paddles. this sounds exciting.

[@philcarwile5626]

I love these reviews on paddles that I’m not that familiar! Nice work Dustin

[@Mrwongtao]

I love the Azul. I need to try this paddle to make my opinion.

[@nathaando]

Looking to get my first real paddle, can't wait! Great vid.

[@AndyMai1]

Love the look of this paddle! Really liked hitting with the thrive Azul, so I'm curious to see how the Valor pro plays

[@amymoore3022]

Love that new companies are putting out quality paddles. Thanks for another great review (& giveaway!)!

[@aaronfuj]

What a great looking paddle. I liked the Azul so I'm sure I'd enjoy this one as well!

[@DianSusiana98]

Love the video as usual. I can't imagine how excited I am to win this paddle.

[@tomfowlerwrites919]

Good review. I wonder what the next different face material will be now that we've seen Kevlar and PET ("titanium"). Maybe Levi's will make the 501 denim paddle. :)

[@jerryduong10]

Great looking and performing paddle for a reasonable price, will love to try it out!

[@not.traffic]

Never even heard of this company before this paddle, but you got me excited about getting my hands on this! Seems solid to say the least. Thanks for the review!

[@TennisObsessed]

Looks very cool, great review! I like how you discussed the swing weight within the context of the mega database data.

[@kevinoclips6148]

Looks like a great one to try out

[@trumpisastump9382]

Great to see another really good paddle that is not $300!! Keep up the good work and keep on exposing us to these paddles that are more appropriately priced.

[@nicolaspham4668]

Thanks for the review. Paddle looks great and reasonably priced too

[@dreamhold]

Curious to see if I'd be able to control this myself 😅

[@jtakeoka]

The “titanium” paddle face market is getting crowded. Nice to see options that play well in this price range. I like that this one feels more stiff than how others have been described. Hope to give them a try.

[@dinryu]

Great additions to see some analytical comparisons to other paddles.

[@GaryChak]

Great review of the Valor Pro! Love the NxtGen Paddles!

[@D3p1xel8]

Outstanding! This seems like an excellent paddle. Going to love trying it out sometime soon. Thanks.

[@robtemp4727]

great review! it is so nice that there are so many excellent paddles that are reasonably priced.

[@taidai]

New intro is so cool!

[@mxmongeau]

Great looking paddle

[@michaelchen6017]

Nice review! It will be interesting to see what surface or combinations of surfaces will come next!

[@brentsmith9775]

Love the new intro! Video effects are 🔥

[@byronnguyen4627]

Thanks for the in depth review, really excited about this new titanium material!

[@Taegeuki]

wow amazing they improve so much from azul good work nxtgen

[@sol1280]

I've enjoyed the unique feel of the titanium paddles (I still don't have issue with calling it that) and find it interesting that this one is so much stiffer than the rest.

[@soccerjunky8728]

This looks like a great paddle, I would love to use a paddle from a company like this!

[@E.Fudd56]

That looks like my kind of paddle! Thanks for the review.

[@VietNghi]

Thanks for the review!!
