Greetings,

I just started to play pickleball and was looking for paddle for myself.
Hope this thread and bring some discussion on paddle discussion, reviews, pros and cons

Played with Vatic Pro - feels good, and good spin.

Currently I am looking at this Acsion Phoenix (market as thermoformed) not sure how the feeling while playing with non thermoformed.
Anyone has any idea?

Vatic pro good for beginner. Whats your budget

max 300?
dont want to spend so much for now..
have you heard of acsion?
btw, the vatic belongs to my friend, just borrow and played for few matches.

Buy used vatic pro. Or juciao

Juciao is a china brand rite?

Can get a Luzz beginner paddle with the sandblasted surface.
Very nice paddle to learn control and spin.
PM me if you want a 20% discount code to be used at the Luzz website

Vatic pro is a very good paddle which you can use till intermediate and to advanced levels also . Thermoformed paddles give extra power in your shots . I'm a vatic pro prism flash user now , currently exploring Ronbus pulsar R1 and Volair Forza mach 1 which are 2nd gen thermo formed paddles for more power.

My advice is to go demo and try out the paddles during demo sessions or go to shops which allow you to demo paddles like my pickle at strand mall . or try your friends paddles . thats the best way to see if the paddle suits you.

Lately i see a lot of Japanese expats like 2 paddle along

lately many pickle court zaplap also

is a good time to pick up the sport....rather than hype and crowded everywhere.

yep. after tinkerdy ajak for a year also no hiew him lol
now just started. no crowd

gotten a used alpha omega ares kevlar for rm150

just started to play and looking for a paddle around rm200 budget. any recommendation?

btw..if you know chinese... t-b alot of goodies compare to local sellers

are they original?

yes..if you buy from official store...
alot china brands you can get from there..make sure it's certified and it's good to go

any brand you would recommend?

im using acsion...juciao also good..
you need to survey and check out those reviews.
very subjective on the hands feel

got myself a juciao around rm230

hope it fits me well although i maybe play for like twice or thrice a month

lol....
For sure it will..
Happy pickleball 🥳

many like which ones?

I got access to many paddles but I personally do not like to "Review" them because it's really subjective.

Some things you can see in numbers (eg twist weight, swing weight, so on) but in the end no matter how you must try it to see how it actually feels when in action, and whether the response suits your play style.

Does it pop the way you want? Dwell time? Is the paddle forgiving (sweet spot size)?

using Luzz cannon. Powerful paddle for driving

using honolulu j2kpro 14mm. good spin
