Pickleball Paddles, USAPA Carbon Fiber Pickleball Paddle with Pickle Ball Paddle Cover, Pickle Ball Raquette Pickle Ball Racket Edgeless Style

Nice color, sturdy grip and not heavy like tennis racket !!! Shipment came earlier than expected.

This was my third pickleball paddle. First one was Joola CAS 16mm which gives decent power. After few months it started to wear off the paint on the surface. The second one was XSpak which is also 16mm and has carbon surface with balanced power and control, like some reviewers called similar to CRBN1. These two paddles weighted about 8.3 to 8.6 oz. They performed very well but towards the heavy side since I liked fast swinging and powerful strike. So I started to look for edge-less, lighter paddle. Then I found this one, thin, edge-less, with T 700 carbon fiber surface, and, good price. After played for about 10 days, I felt this paddle had good power as well as spin. It is lighter, and hands on very comfortable. I started to like it. The handle grip wrap is a little loose when I swung hard so I re-glued it and add another over grip. If someone like lighter, powerful and edgeless pickleball paddle under $100, don't miss this one.

Like the size of the paddle. I also like the grip of the handle.

I am certainly not a pickleball expert, but as a beginner, this racket is perfect and reasonably priced. I know there are much more expensive ones out there and they may have benefits for more advanced players, but if you want to try out the game that all your friends are playing, order this racket and see if pickleball is for you!

The Aero Spike maximizes the playing surface. The paddle surface is longer than that of the Aero Swipe (and most other paddles). The edgeless design enlarges the useable surface. No more shots deflected off of the edge guard! I will never go back to a paddle with an edge guard.I have a better reach with the elongated shape and there is no hole in the paddle near the handle that can cause deflected shots. This version has a shorter handle than the Aero Swipe and this allows a larger playing surface in a fully approved paddle. I prefer the shorter handle, but if you play a two-hand backhand, you may want to opt for the Aero Swipe as it has a longer handle.I often like to play with a lot of spin, and I can spin the ball without risk of hitting the edge guard. This is a big plus for certain kinds of spin shots.On high speed shoot outs, the light weight is a plus. This comes at the expense of power.On power shots, this paddle will require a bit more swing speed. You will need to drive the ball, it won't just bounce off the paddle. This may be partially related to the overly soft grip. I removed this stock grip and replaced it with a non-padded tennis grip. This gave me a better feel for the ridges and it seemed to resolve the apparent lack of power. With the grip upgrade, I seem to have a good balance between power and control. This is now my favorite paddle.

I think this paddle works better for me than my more expensive ones. I like the way it feels and handles and the sweet spot is big enough. I have enough control and I like the edgeless design. I try to vary the paddle I use but I always go right back to this one. For reference, I am an emerging intermediate player.

Very light but firm. Surface has more grit for better spins than my previous paddles. I noticed less missed shots when reaching for the ball on this edge less paddle. Handle is a little longer which helped when reaching. Over all very happy and excited to use it more

I wanted to like this paddle...and did like it. I appreciated its short handle length and overall feel. It did feel a little soft along the edgeless condition. It was my first edgeless paddle but after using it for a few games I noticed that the face had developed a small chip, not on the edge but adjacent the edge. I know of nothing I did. The paddle was not dropped. I do not tap rackets at the end of a game on the face or edge of a paddle. So I contribute this to wear and tear but after only a few games. This is the first time this has occurred in a paddle I have owned. I decided to return even though I liked the paddle.

Nice and lite and good grip

Only after a 2 hour session the coating is already chipping offNot impressed for the moneyOther than that it’s well made comfortable handle hood weight and a wicked designSuch a shame

Good quality and performance
