While out of town I was invited to play pickleball but did not have my paddle, but I was able to borrow a Dr Pickleball T700 paddle and played with it for three days. It is a great paddle, that is excellent at absorbing the force of the ball on all shots and resists the paddle from trying to twist in your grip. Because of the 20MM honeycomb core, the paddle has great control and power but at the same time has great touch and feel needed for all types of shots. The carbon fiber surface makes it easy to add spin to your shots and the large sweet spot is very effective especially for off center shots. This is a great paddle and a fantastic bargain for $50, which is why I ordered one for myself when I got home. Along with my other paddle I will always have a great paddle at home or away.

I’m a 2.75-level newer player. I started with two inexpensive Franklin paddles from Target, and after a few weeks, I decided to rent a couple of higher-end demo paddles—one 12mm and one 14mm. I didn’t care for either of them because power isn’t my issue; I needed a paddle that offered more control and less pop. This paddle has provided exactly that!I’ve played with it for seven hours now, and the group I play with has noticed a marked improvement in my game. I’m happy to report that my accidental pops and out-of-bounds shots have drastically decreased, and I get really good spin with this paddle. I also ordered a 16mm paddle from another brand to try out, so I’m curious to see how it compares.Overall, I’m thrilled I didn’t spend $180 on the demo paddle I rented because this one is far superior!

Overall a great paddle. I noticed my game improved when I played with it. It was sturdy, had responsiveness, and I felt like there was quite a bit more control. As far as comfort goes, the grip was well padded. My previous paddle I used was about $70, and I would say this one was better. This is a great paddle for the price.

Pleased with the paddle. My game improved versus my previous paddle. Control, spin and comfort are the positives. My previous paddle was more expensive. This is a great value. Time will tell on durability.

1st time going all in on a20.MMPaddle grip was made for large man handsAllowing me to not, over grip.Plus the 20 mm seemed to make my shots, a tad softer.I wasn't blowing it past the base line.Color scheme cool.But the paddle surface finish was just too smooth to keep, long term.Perhaps I'll order it in 8-10 years when I'm 70ish

This is just the paddle I was looking for! I wasn’t too sure because there aren’t many reviews, but it feels like one of the really expensive ones, and is somehow a great deal. I love how thick it, which makes it super easy to control and get nice slams. Don’t tell your friends about this paddle or they will smoke you!

Seems to be well put together. I like the construction and the specs of the paddle (it came at 8.5 oz, I was hoping for it to be nearer the 7.9 as listed, but I'm not "docking" it for being overweight)I've only played 6 or 8 games with it and "drilled" an hour. I love the feel and performance, however the grip is large and square. which forces you to have a continentail or "frying pan" grip and you can't move grips during points. This required me to be very attentive to the paddle face during play and has a big impact on the serve. I'll let you know if I'm able to "shave" and shape the grip. If so, I think this will be a great paddle. There is very little information on it, online. I sent a message to the website but no response. Hard to ask much from a company selling a paddle for $50. I think it's patterned after the Warrior, which players loved for playability, even though it had reliability issues.
