1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,220 Hey, Padel enthusiasts. 2 00:00:01,405 --> 00:00:02,820 Welcome to Padel Smash Academy. 3 00:00:02,970 --> 00:00:05,490 My name is Cez Padel Club owner and entrepreneur. 4 00:00:05,490 --> 00:00:08,760 Next to me is Julian Paddle Master Coach, and we're all about Paddle. 5 00:00:16,930 --> 00:00:20,080 Welcome back guys to Padel Smash Academy, and today we're doing 6 00:00:20,085 --> 00:00:21,990 product reviews on Three Padel. 7 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:26,009 One is a head, uh, speed, pro X, which is actually my padel, which, 8 00:00:26,070 --> 00:00:28,259 uh, I use all the time and I love it. 9 00:00:28,259 --> 00:00:32,549 And this is kind of the, the paddle that that, um, that came after the Alpha 10 00:00:32,549 --> 00:00:35,100 Pro that Sanjo used for many years. 11 00:00:35,519 --> 00:00:37,950 So, uh, let's talk about the specs first. 12 00:00:37,950 --> 00:00:41,129 Uh, it weighs around 3 75 grams, and that's what, you 13 00:00:41,129 --> 00:00:42,840 know, uh, head states in their. 14 00:00:43,930 --> 00:00:46,360 But what, what was actually, what did actually weigh? 15 00:00:46,420 --> 00:00:50,560 Um, well, actually, I mean, um, you gotta take in consideration if you add a grip to 16 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:56,200 it, uh, the weight will go through about 3 87, so it's about another 10 grams to it. 17 00:00:56,470 --> 00:01:00,220 So that could be a big difference, uh, on the head of the, you know, 18 00:01:00,220 --> 00:01:01,450 on the weight of the racket. 19 00:01:01,540 --> 00:01:01,690 Yeah. 20 00:01:01,695 --> 00:01:01,840 Yeah. 21 00:01:02,050 --> 00:01:05,950 I think, uh, you know, it came out the 3 87 as you stated, so that's almost like 22 00:01:05,980 --> 00:01:09,310 y you know, uh, uh, 12, 12 grams more. 23 00:01:09,700 --> 00:01:11,840 And, uh, I think the, the. 24 00:01:12,435 --> 00:01:17,385 One grip, one thin grip, uh, weighs around maybe five to six grams. 25 00:01:17,685 --> 00:01:23,265 So even after that, we're kind of like 10 grams over than what the, what had states. 26 00:01:23,535 --> 00:01:25,395 So it is kind of a heavier racket. 27 00:01:25,455 --> 00:01:27,885 Um, it is a diamond shape racket. 28 00:01:28,275 --> 00:01:30,135 Um, and you get some of the weight. 29 00:01:30,705 --> 00:01:34,199 On the top here, you know, so it does produce good, good power 30 00:01:34,199 --> 00:01:37,589 there, but it tends to be a little bit, you know, heavy, right? 31 00:01:37,619 --> 00:01:40,169 Yes, that definitely is a heavier, heavier paddle. 32 00:01:40,169 --> 00:01:42,419 It's, it's in the heavier end of all the paddles. 33 00:01:42,780 --> 00:01:47,070 Uh, for me personally, it gets a, a bit too heavy, uh, after a while, 34 00:01:47,074 --> 00:01:49,710 especially if you wanna work on the net and, and things like that. 35 00:01:49,710 --> 00:01:52,949 If you wanna do wallets, uh, you know, after a few games, you 36 00:01:52,949 --> 00:01:54,330 start fleeing in the heaviness. 37 00:01:54,660 --> 00:01:57,149 Now, um, this is 12,000, uh, carbon fiber. 38 00:01:57,359 --> 00:01:59,910 Um, and it, it does have a smooth surface. 39 00:02:00,495 --> 00:02:00,945 Okay. 40 00:02:01,365 --> 00:02:05,355 Uh, and it does kind of have a harder foam, you know, and what, 41 00:02:05,355 --> 00:02:06,465 what does that really mean? 42 00:02:06,465 --> 00:02:09,615 It means kind of when you're going to hit the ball, the ball's gonna 43 00:02:09,615 --> 00:02:11,954 come out very quickly, so, correct. 44 00:02:11,954 --> 00:02:14,895 It's less effort, you know, for the ball to, to come out. 45 00:02:15,345 --> 00:02:19,335 Um, and it does have, uh, anti vibration, uh, handle here. 46 00:02:19,454 --> 00:02:23,535 Um, and that's, you could feel that from the Alpha Pro to the speed X. 47 00:02:23,540 --> 00:02:26,025 You can definitely feel the difference there, and especially when you, 48 00:02:26,025 --> 00:02:29,445 when you hit it, the Alpha Pro, you definitely had a little bit of vibration. 49 00:02:30,150 --> 00:02:31,890 Here, uh, barely any. 50 00:02:31,890 --> 00:02:34,350 So they did a really good job, uh, uh, there. 51 00:02:34,530 --> 00:02:34,920 Yeah. 52 00:02:34,920 --> 00:02:38,040 And, and, and just to, to, for you guys to understand, um, 53 00:02:38,070 --> 00:02:40,920 because there are many different technical aspects on the paddles. 54 00:02:41,250 --> 00:02:45,690 When we talk about the carbon fiber, usually you're gonna get a three K, 55 00:02:46,079 --> 00:02:52,079 which means, uh, 3000, you know, carbon fibers intertwined 3, 6, 12, and 18. 56 00:02:52,350 --> 00:02:55,739 What it means by that, I mean the higher the, the, the number, the 57 00:02:55,739 --> 00:02:57,600 12 K, which means that you have 12. 58 00:02:58,455 --> 00:03:00,525 You know, intertwine, uh, carbon fibers. 59 00:03:00,735 --> 00:03:04,695 So that means that there's, they're more condensed and that gives you more control. 60 00:03:04,695 --> 00:03:08,355 So the higher the number, the more con control you get. 61 00:03:08,565 --> 00:03:12,045 So this rocket, it's on the heavier side and the more controlled 62 00:03:12,045 --> 00:03:15,804 side, uh, which for sand players might be the perfect racket. 63 00:03:15,804 --> 00:03:19,005 Some other players, It gets on the heavier side. 64 00:03:19,245 --> 00:03:20,325 I think that that's a good point. 65 00:03:20,355 --> 00:03:23,355 Uh, when it comes to carbon fiber and what are the differences, right? 66 00:03:23,355 --> 00:03:28,125 And I think you talked a little bit about it, uh, from 3000 to 18,000, uh, you know, 67 00:03:28,125 --> 00:03:32,105 when you have more carbon fibers, it's, it seems to be, it's gonna be more and it's 68 00:03:32,105 --> 00:03:35,385 gonna be less bending in, you know, more. 69 00:03:35,415 --> 00:03:35,655 Yeah. 70 00:03:35,660 --> 00:03:36,075 Let's get. 71 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,170 Less, less carbon fiber, the ball's gonna come in a little bit more. 72 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:39,620 Correct. 73 00:03:39,620 --> 00:03:39,830 Okay. 74 00:03:40,100 --> 00:03:42,350 So that's, that's, that's the difference when it comes to 75 00:03:42,350 --> 00:03:43,790 carbon fiber and, you know. 76 00:03:43,790 --> 00:03:44,000 Yeah. 77 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,350 And, and also, you know what, what, uh, I mean, if you stick your finger inside, you 78 00:03:48,350 --> 00:03:52,760 will feel the, the, it's called the EVA foam, and you have two types, the heart. 79 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:54,360 The hard and the soft. 80 00:03:54,660 --> 00:03:57,780 And this one, it's, it's the hard foam, so that means that 81 00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,400 you get extra control with it. 82 00:03:59,400 --> 00:03:59,910 You know what I mean? 83 00:03:59,910 --> 00:04:02,640 So you have, those are are very important things that you have to 84 00:04:02,645 --> 00:04:05,010 look at it before getting a paddle. 85 00:04:05,015 --> 00:04:08,790 It's, it's how many you know, either 3, 6, 12, or 18. 86 00:04:09,060 --> 00:04:12,960 And also the foam is very, is very important for you to understand the 87 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,820 technological aspects of the paddle. 88 00:04:15,030 --> 00:04:17,850 Okay, so let's, let's, let's play with this a little bit. 89 00:04:17,850 --> 00:04:21,030 So let's go on the back wall and see how this thing, uh, uh, you know, hits. 90 00:04:21,030 --> 00:04:21,670 Let, let. 91 00:04:23,085 --> 00:04:23,325 Okay. 92 00:04:23,325 --> 00:04:26,865 So on the back wall I felt like, you know, I had good control, good power, 93 00:04:26,865 --> 00:04:28,575 and the, the ball came out very well. 94 00:04:28,575 --> 00:04:32,805 But, uh, I had, you know, I felt less control coming off the back 95 00:04:32,805 --> 00:04:34,875 wall when I had shorter strokes. 96 00:04:35,265 --> 00:04:38,085 Uh, I had to put a little more, better, more effort into getting 97 00:04:38,085 --> 00:04:39,375 that ball where I wanted to go. 98 00:04:39,555 --> 00:04:39,885 Yeah. 99 00:04:40,095 --> 00:04:42,255 For me it was, um, uh, something. 100 00:04:43,105 --> 00:04:44,785 You feel that heaviness on the paddle. 101 00:04:44,785 --> 00:04:49,255 So every time you, you stroke the, the shot that padel goes, and that gives 102 00:04:49,255 --> 00:04:53,935 you that extra hump on, on the ball for you to get that extra power on the shot. 103 00:04:54,295 --> 00:04:58,825 Um, I, the, the balls that I hit, I tended to overshoot it too much, 104 00:04:58,825 --> 00:05:00,325 meaning hit it a little bit too hard. 105 00:05:00,840 --> 00:05:03,540 So it took me a while for me to start getting the feeling 106 00:05:03,540 --> 00:05:04,830 of that, of that paddle. 107 00:05:05,190 --> 00:05:08,970 Uh, but that comes, you know, with the diamond shape and the head heavier, you 108 00:05:08,970 --> 00:05:10,790 know, it's, it's an adaptable racket. 109 00:05:11,340 --> 00:05:15,380 Okay, so now let, let's, let's try that then that, and do some aerial shots. 110 00:05:16,740 --> 00:05:17,100 Okay. 111 00:05:17,100 --> 00:05:21,540 I felt that, you know, doing the volleys, I had more control, I was more precise, 112 00:05:21,545 --> 00:05:23,580 and the ball came out a lot faster. 113 00:05:23,940 --> 00:05:26,909 Uh, and when I was doing my aerial shots, I felt I had more 114 00:05:26,909 --> 00:05:28,830 power and definitely control. 115 00:05:28,980 --> 00:05:29,820 I really loved it. 116 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,820 Uh, when it comes to, to voling and, and aerial shots. 117 00:05:33,270 --> 00:05:38,700 So, uh, for me, uh, in my case at the net, um, you know, the, when it's 118 00:05:38,700 --> 00:05:43,350 too heavy, I tend to start losing that feeling at the net of, of me 119 00:05:43,355 --> 00:05:44,700 handling from the forehead to the. 120 00:05:45,465 --> 00:05:49,455 So for me it was a little bit too heavy on, on the net, even though when you hit 121 00:05:49,455 --> 00:05:53,325 it right on the sweet spot, that will will go with, you know, with very good 122 00:05:53,330 --> 00:05:55,395 speed and, and heaviness in that shot. 123 00:05:55,785 --> 00:05:59,325 But for me it's, it was just a little bit too heavy at the net and for me 124 00:05:59,330 --> 00:06:00,615 to be able to handle the properly. 125 00:06:00,620 --> 00:06:05,325 Same thing with hitting bandas on some, uh, vis, uh, that heaven is, 126 00:06:05,415 --> 00:06:10,345 gives you, gives you that extra power, but it's still in, in my personal 127 00:06:10,350 --> 00:06:12,045 view, it's, it's a bit too heavy. 128 00:06:12,825 --> 00:06:13,275 Okay. 129 00:06:13,364 --> 00:06:14,385 Fair enough, fair enough. 130 00:06:14,685 --> 00:06:15,164 Um, okay. 131 00:06:15,164 --> 00:06:17,715 So, uh, I use this racket all the time. 132 00:06:17,804 --> 00:06:19,395 Uh, I'm gonna give you my thoughts on it. 133 00:06:19,455 --> 00:06:23,445 Um, I feel that it, the ball comes out very fast and very easily. 134 00:06:24,380 --> 00:06:27,674 Um, again, like I, I stated before, off the back walls, I have to 135 00:06:27,674 --> 00:06:29,085 put a little more effort into it. 136 00:06:29,234 --> 00:06:29,685 Okay? 137 00:06:29,715 --> 00:06:33,854 Um, uh, but my volley seem to be, you know, on point. 138 00:06:33,974 --> 00:06:36,554 You know, once, once you get a position that, and you're hitting 139 00:06:36,554 --> 00:06:40,005 that sweet spot, it's the ball's gonna fly out of that racket. 140 00:06:40,034 --> 00:06:44,685 Um, you know, vidos, my band, my smashes, uh, it is a little. 141 00:06:45,375 --> 00:06:49,215 So I tend to always definitely hold it with my left hand, you 142 00:06:49,215 --> 00:06:50,505 know, help me all the time. 143 00:06:50,895 --> 00:06:54,645 Uh, but it tends to be a little bit heavier, uh, at 3 86 grams, 144 00:06:54,650 --> 00:06:56,085 which is pretty heavy paddle. 145 00:06:56,385 --> 00:06:57,435 Uh, what, what did you think? 146 00:06:57,435 --> 00:06:57,885 Uh, Julian? 147 00:06:57,975 --> 00:07:01,455 Uh, for me personally, I, it was, uh, just a bit too heavy overall. 148 00:07:01,725 --> 00:07:05,325 Uh, f when you hit it good, but after a while I start feeling the 149 00:07:05,325 --> 00:07:08,715 heaviness of the paddle, and I, in my personal view, I need something a. 150 00:07:09,585 --> 00:07:12,975 Head lighter, no, 3 87 or or 3 75. 151 00:07:13,305 --> 00:07:18,465 I will mo Mo move more towards the 360 365, which I can handle 152 00:07:18,525 --> 00:07:19,755 under it a little bit better. 153 00:07:19,755 --> 00:07:23,145 But yes, the Sweet Pot is beautiful, that heaven is, gives you that 154 00:07:23,145 --> 00:07:26,055 extra hump on the bulb where you can really put pressure on it. 155 00:07:26,415 --> 00:07:30,315 But overall, it's uh, I will give it a maybe six, seven. 156 00:07:31,140 --> 00:07:32,520 One to 10 rating. 157 00:07:32,669 --> 00:07:36,000 So if you're coming from Alpha Pro, which a lot of people, this is kind 158 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,560 of the replacement for the Alpha Pro. 159 00:07:37,890 --> 00:07:41,820 Um, and if you're thinking of purchasing this paddle and you're using Alpha 160 00:07:41,820 --> 00:07:43,950 Pro, it is a little different. 161 00:07:44,729 --> 00:07:47,280 And the difference would be maybe the Alpha Pro's a little 162 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:48,200 lighter, so you'd be quicker. 163 00:07:48,984 --> 00:07:49,484 On your hands. 164 00:07:49,484 --> 00:07:49,905 Okay. 165 00:07:50,474 --> 00:07:52,934 But Alpha Pro, you're gonna feel a little bit of the vibration. 166 00:07:52,934 --> 00:07:55,244 So if you don't hit it in a sweet spot, you're gonna feel that. 167 00:07:55,455 --> 00:07:55,994 Okay? 168 00:07:56,505 --> 00:08:00,525 Um, and this one is, uh, you won't feel as much cuz it has a great, 169 00:08:00,554 --> 00:08:04,005 um, anti vibration here in, in the, in the grip and the sweet 170 00:08:04,010 --> 00:08:05,804 spot's a little bit bigger, okay? 171 00:08:05,804 --> 00:08:09,645 And, and it's a little bit more powerful, uh, and it is a little more heavier. 172 00:08:09,645 --> 00:08:12,344 So those are the things to think about if you're gonna, uh, upgrade 173 00:08:12,344 --> 00:08:14,385 to this paddle coming from Alpha Pro. 174 00:08:14,864 --> 00:08:17,085 But at the end of the day, uh, I haven't found the paddle. 175 00:08:17,730 --> 00:08:19,170 That I like better. 176 00:08:19,530 --> 00:08:23,400 So, uh, you know, so this is more of a biased, you know, uh, rating. 177 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,950 So for me it's gonna be an eight to eight to 10. 178 00:08:26,460 --> 00:08:27,510 Um, eight to 10. 179 00:08:27,510 --> 00:08:28,320 You're generous. 180 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:28,860 Yeah. 181 00:08:28,865 --> 00:08:29,700 I love this paddle. 182 00:08:29,700 --> 00:08:31,470 I haven't found one that's, that's better than this. 183 00:08:31,740 --> 00:08:34,080 Well, again, I'm biased because you gotta understand that. 184 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,659 A paddle, it's very hard to rate a paddle because each 185 00:08:37,659 --> 00:08:39,490 person has their way of playing. 186 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:40,000 Right? 187 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,809 You have, uh, and, and each paddle has their own characteristics 188 00:08:44,049 --> 00:08:45,160 based on how you play. 189 00:08:45,310 --> 00:08:45,520 Yeah. 190 00:08:45,550 --> 00:08:48,430 So what I may feel will be great, may, you know, another person 191 00:08:48,430 --> 00:08:49,780 may not like, and vice versa. 192 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,110 So, uh, I'm looking at it in the perspective of somebody coming 193 00:08:53,110 --> 00:08:54,370 from playing from Alpha Pro. 194 00:08:54,665 --> 00:08:58,025 And maybe upgrading to this, um, things that they should look out for. 195 00:08:58,235 --> 00:09:01,954 And as a professional, you know, in, in the paddle world, it's, I suggest to all 196 00:09:01,954 --> 00:09:05,974 my students and everyone that is looking to buy a new paddle, try them out first. 197 00:09:06,214 --> 00:09:08,824 All these paddles that we're reviewing, they're top of the line. 198 00:09:08,824 --> 00:09:10,564 They're the high, high end paddles. 199 00:09:11,130 --> 00:09:12,210 Every paddle is superb. 200 00:09:12,210 --> 00:09:16,380 The quality is outstanding, but you have to try 'em out because like, uh, Seth 201 00:09:16,980 --> 00:09:19,440 uh, said it, it's a personal feeling. 202 00:09:19,445 --> 00:09:20,910 You have to feel it, you know what I mean? 203 00:09:20,910 --> 00:09:23,820 And he has certain views on this paddle for me. 204 00:09:23,820 --> 00:09:25,380 I wouldn't buy this paddle for him. 205 00:09:25,380 --> 00:09:26,400 It's his home paddle. 206 00:09:26,405 --> 00:09:26,910 He loves it. 207 00:09:26,940 --> 00:09:29,550 I have to, but that's a great point. 208 00:09:29,580 --> 00:09:30,930 Uh, trying them out first. 209 00:09:30,930 --> 00:09:34,230 I mean, that is so key and we're gonna go over that afterwards 210 00:09:34,230 --> 00:09:35,520 where you can try them out. 211 00:09:35,550 --> 00:09:38,190 Um, there's a place where you can try them out for free. 212 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,480 You know, I don't know any other place that that will allow you to do that. 213 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,780 You can try 'em off for free and uh, and choose from there, but 214 00:09:44,780 --> 00:09:45,890 we're gonna go over that later. 215 00:09:46,650 --> 00:09:47,130 All right, Julian. 216 00:09:47,130 --> 00:09:48,870 So what's the price of the, of the head? 217 00:09:48,900 --> 00:09:50,910 Um, uh, speed, uh, speed prox. 218 00:09:51,090 --> 00:09:56,190 Well, the, the price, uh, retail price right now is $360, 219 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,740 uh, pretty high-end price. 220 00:09:58,800 --> 00:09:58,890 Yep. 221 00:09:59,010 --> 00:10:01,710 So that, that, that, that's what we're looking at most, uh, you know, 222 00:10:01,715 --> 00:10:05,700 premium paddles, they're anywhere from, you know, three 40 to $400. 223 00:10:06,030 --> 00:10:08,340 Um, and that's if you can find them here in the US Yes. 224 00:10:08,340 --> 00:10:08,860 You know, course. 225 00:10:08,860 --> 00:10:10,950 And if you can't, then you have to pay shipping. 226 00:10:11,170 --> 00:10:13,630 Other fees and then make even a little bit more. 227 00:10:14,290 --> 00:10:17,439 Um, okay, so let's, let's go over the next paddle, which is, uh, 228 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,810 sus, uh, uh, Diablo Revolution two. 229 00:10:20,260 --> 00:10:24,819 Uh, this is actually the third paddle that, that Sanjo, um, 230 00:10:24,849 --> 00:10:26,469 you know, created with Sus. 231 00:10:27,555 --> 00:10:31,065 I have his first paddle, um, which I felt was a little too soft. 232 00:10:31,485 --> 00:10:35,685 Uh, I didn't purchase the second one, but, uh, I purchased this one here. 233 00:10:36,075 --> 00:10:39,615 So I believe this is gonna be the one he's gonna be staying with for a year or two. 234 00:10:40,125 --> 00:10:43,905 Um, you know, it is around 3 55 to 3 75 grams. 235 00:10:43,905 --> 00:10:47,325 And that's what you know, it, it says on their site, uh, 236 00:10:47,745 --> 00:10:49,425 actually wait it, and it's 3 74. 237 00:10:49,725 --> 00:10:55,949 Um, and if you add a grip, It could be around, you know, 3 79. 238 00:10:56,130 --> 00:10:58,770 So, um, they're, they're kind of there. 239 00:10:58,770 --> 00:11:02,040 So it's still, you know, 3 75, just I would say 3 75 to three 240 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:03,270 80 if you're gonna put a grip. 241 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:03,630 Yeah. 242 00:11:04,020 --> 00:11:06,870 Um, this is a hybrid, you know, style, uh, head. 243 00:11:07,349 --> 00:11:07,829 Okay. 244 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,319 Um, it, it has a medium foam. 245 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:11,520 Okay. 246 00:11:11,579 --> 00:11:14,490 Um, it has a middle balance, so it is definitely balanced. 247 00:11:14,490 --> 00:11:16,290 Doesn't feel top heavy. 248 00:11:16,709 --> 00:11:18,810 Um, you know, it does have a smooth surface. 249 00:11:20,100 --> 00:11:24,840 And it has this, uh, this rigid or these grooves in, in, in a grip. 250 00:11:25,140 --> 00:11:26,760 And you may or may not like that. 251 00:11:26,790 --> 00:11:30,330 Um, that all depends on you, and it is a 12,000 carbon fiber. 252 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:30,960 Good. 253 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,830 Let me just give you another, um, you know, this rugged, uh, weight 254 00:11:34,830 --> 00:11:37,230 is ready between 3 55, 3 75. 255 00:11:37,235 --> 00:11:38,070 The actual weight it. 256 00:11:38,715 --> 00:11:40,545 With a grape is about 3 74. 257 00:11:40,965 --> 00:11:44,175 But why they give you that, that rating is because a lot of the 258 00:11:44,175 --> 00:11:48,075 professional players or, or you know, the competition players, some of the 259 00:11:48,075 --> 00:11:51,915 players, they tend to take the, the original grip out, the leather grip out. 260 00:11:52,155 --> 00:11:56,055 So that will make the, the, the, you know, the grip smaller and the, the, the 261 00:11:56,055 --> 00:11:58,005 paddle, you know, the racket lighter. 262 00:11:58,095 --> 00:11:58,185 Mm-hmm. 263 00:11:58,425 --> 00:12:03,435 So that's why oscillates between 3 74 with a grip on top of the, the actual original. 264 00:12:04,130 --> 00:12:09,074 And without a grip at all, it will drop down to the 3 55, 360 range. 265 00:12:09,285 --> 00:12:10,425 And that's very important for them. 266 00:12:10,425 --> 00:12:10,485 Yeah. 267 00:12:10,545 --> 00:12:14,324 To, to understand why, why that range and, and some of the professional 268 00:12:14,329 --> 00:12:16,035 players put extra grip on it Yes. 269 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:16,785 To make it heavier. 270 00:12:16,790 --> 00:12:18,405 So, uh, it all, all depends. 271 00:12:18,410 --> 00:12:21,255 And another factor is that these things are handmade. 272 00:12:22,079 --> 00:12:23,650 There's no machine that makes 'em. 273 00:12:23,655 --> 00:12:26,010 So when you're making something handmade, you know you're always 274 00:12:26,010 --> 00:12:27,030 gonna be off a little bit. 275 00:12:27,089 --> 00:12:27,270 Yeah. 276 00:12:27,270 --> 00:12:31,330 You put an extra thing of your thing over it, you know, uh, whatever it 277 00:12:31,335 --> 00:12:34,319 may be, you know, so that's why they kind of give a range, and I think 278 00:12:34,319 --> 00:12:37,979 that's pretty good of souks to give a range because, uh, most of the places 279 00:12:37,979 --> 00:12:39,750 weren't, didn't give a range, actually. 280 00:12:39,755 --> 00:12:41,250 Just attaching a good point. 281 00:12:41,935 --> 00:12:45,685 You know, we have this, we get asked these questions quite a few times. 282 00:12:45,685 --> 00:12:50,064 You know why R Paddle rackets are so expensive compared to a tennis racket? 283 00:12:50,064 --> 00:12:55,285 A tennis racket, it could be high end racket, a pure drive or a I pro, you know, 284 00:12:55,314 --> 00:12:58,454 baby, it will cost you two, $200, 199. 285 00:12:58,995 --> 00:13:03,375 Maybe two 19, where these paddles, they go about $300, almost 400. 286 00:13:03,375 --> 00:13:04,935 Or maybe it's higher than that. 287 00:13:05,505 --> 00:13:08,775 And, and what, uh, sis what, what Seth was talking about is that 288 00:13:09,045 --> 00:13:11,025 these paddles are made manually. 289 00:13:11,205 --> 00:13:11,775 You know what I mean? 290 00:13:11,775 --> 00:13:13,155 There is no ac an actual mold. 291 00:13:13,155 --> 00:13:15,225 There's a lot of labor involved in each paddle. 292 00:13:15,395 --> 00:13:15,675 Mm-hmm. 293 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:17,085 That's why they're so expensive. 294 00:13:17,475 --> 00:13:18,315 Uh, tennis rack. 295 00:13:18,405 --> 00:13:22,335 They just put in a mold and they just, you know, make it in molds and they can. 296 00:13:23,765 --> 00:13:24,045 Thousands. 297 00:13:24,050 --> 00:13:29,745 You know by minute here it's one at a time and it has, it's very labor intensive. 298 00:13:29,745 --> 00:13:30,285 That's why. 299 00:13:30,824 --> 00:13:32,084 The price is so high. 300 00:13:32,084 --> 00:13:34,694 It's not like, because everybody loves patent, that they're 301 00:13:34,694 --> 00:13:35,655 start increasing the price. 302 00:13:35,655 --> 00:13:39,675 It's right now the technology they have, it's a manual labor. 303 00:13:39,675 --> 00:13:40,515 It's very expensive. 304 00:13:40,545 --> 00:13:42,405 That's why the, the prices are so high. 305 00:13:42,765 --> 00:13:43,094 Right? 306 00:13:43,099 --> 00:13:45,194 And also too, uh, the longevity of it. 307 00:13:45,199 --> 00:13:46,604 So, you know, you buy a. 308 00:13:47,030 --> 00:13:50,479 Tennis racket and maybe change your strings, uh, every month or 309 00:13:50,479 --> 00:13:54,260 every two months depending on what type of strings you, you buy, uh, 310 00:13:54,260 --> 00:13:58,550 the thickness and, and how, you know, how often you, you play here? 311 00:13:58,550 --> 00:13:59,689 You don't, you don't do that. 312 00:13:59,780 --> 00:13:59,930 No. 313 00:13:59,935 --> 00:14:04,459 You know, but I guess the question is, is how long do these paddles last? 314 00:14:04,490 --> 00:14:06,290 When do they start breaking down? 315 00:14:06,380 --> 00:14:06,770 Right. 316 00:14:07,130 --> 00:14:10,430 And I can, I can say it starts breaking down as soon as you start using it. 317 00:14:10,490 --> 00:14:13,610 At what point is it now, uh, gonna affect the, the. 318 00:14:14,575 --> 00:14:16,845 And I guess it depends of, you know, how long you use it. 319 00:14:16,905 --> 00:14:20,715 I mean, if you're playing every single day, then probably, maybe six 320 00:14:20,715 --> 00:14:24,255 months, you might want to consider buying a, you know, the new paddle 321 00:14:24,675 --> 00:14:26,175 and you might feel the difference. 322 00:14:26,175 --> 00:14:28,575 I mean, you may not feel the difference because you're using a paddle, but once 323 00:14:28,575 --> 00:14:31,965 you get the new one, you're like, wow, there's, there's a difference there. 324 00:14:32,295 --> 00:14:34,095 And you're playing maybe once a week. 325 00:14:34,500 --> 00:14:36,480 Maybe, you know, a year. 326 00:14:36,870 --> 00:14:40,680 Um, so I think a lot of people are, you know, are, uh, believe 327 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,449 that the pedal lasts forever. 328 00:14:42,780 --> 00:14:46,140 And although you can't use it, but the foam tends to break down. 329 00:14:46,230 --> 00:14:46,439 Correct. 330 00:14:46,439 --> 00:14:49,290 Um, after, you know, some so often that you use it. 331 00:14:49,380 --> 00:14:49,800 Yes. 332 00:14:49,900 --> 00:14:53,430 The o the other thing, it's, it's, it's weather and you can, I, you 333 00:14:53,430 --> 00:14:57,600 can't imagine how many people, uh, they leave the paddles on the 334 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:01,050 car and with the sun and the heat, especially here in South Florida. 335 00:15:02,055 --> 00:15:03,795 It changed the actual structure of the paddle. 336 00:15:03,795 --> 00:15:03,855 Yeah. 337 00:15:03,855 --> 00:15:04,665 Because of the foam. 338 00:15:04,665 --> 00:15:07,455 Because of the fibers, they actually get cooked, especially 339 00:15:08,025 --> 00:15:09,045 floor in the summertime. 340 00:15:09,345 --> 00:15:12,285 If you leave it in the car, I mean that thing is get gets cooked 341 00:15:12,585 --> 00:15:14,325 and the feelings start changing. 342 00:15:14,385 --> 00:15:14,505 Yeah. 343 00:15:14,775 --> 00:15:17,235 And especially when you have, you have two type of fibers. 344 00:15:17,235 --> 00:15:19,215 You have fiberglass and you have carbon fiber. 345 00:15:19,620 --> 00:15:23,069 Fiberglass, it will be the cheaper version of the paddles and the 346 00:15:23,069 --> 00:15:26,939 fiberglass, what it does is, is not as, as stiff as carbon fiber. 347 00:15:26,939 --> 00:15:29,490 So it starts breaking down, uh, faster. 348 00:15:29,700 --> 00:15:30,720 The more you hit. 349 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,470 So the, the, the actually flexibility of the paddles start changing. 350 00:15:34,710 --> 00:15:40,620 So yes, going back to his, uh, uh, response, it's, uh, They change and you 351 00:15:40,620 --> 00:15:43,920 will feel that the difference you'll be playing with same paddle from day 352 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:48,330 one to day after, you know, 30, 90 days, you will feel the difference. 353 00:15:48,330 --> 00:15:49,650 It's, it's a different feeling. 354 00:15:50,100 --> 00:15:54,030 And if you are concerned whether your paddle needs to be replaced or not, 355 00:15:54,060 --> 00:15:58,650 um, it, the best thing is to go, you know, try a new one that's the same one. 356 00:15:58,650 --> 00:16:01,350 You can go try to know it and then we're gonna talk about that later on 357 00:16:01,355 --> 00:16:02,880 in, in the video where you can do that. 358 00:16:02,970 --> 00:16:03,180 Yeah. 359 00:16:03,630 --> 00:16:04,080 Um, okay. 360 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:05,340 So, For me. 361 00:16:05,370 --> 00:16:08,310 Uh, let's, let's, let's talk about, uh, this paddle at 362 00:16:08,310 --> 00:16:10,140 the, at the, at the back wall. 363 00:16:10,170 --> 00:16:14,250 So, uh, using this paddle at the back wall, I felt I had very good control. 364 00:16:14,340 --> 00:16:18,810 Uh, a little less effort to get that ball over where I wanted to go. 365 00:16:19,110 --> 00:16:21,329 Um, the power was okay. 366 00:16:21,510 --> 00:16:25,470 Was, was there, um, you know, again, I had to put a little more effort into it. 367 00:16:25,949 --> 00:16:27,390 Uh, how about yourself at the back? 368 00:16:27,449 --> 00:16:30,290 Uh, for me it was a super soft friendly. 369 00:16:31,109 --> 00:16:31,755 Easy to handle. 370 00:16:31,755 --> 00:16:32,204 Paddle. 371 00:16:32,204 --> 00:16:33,405 I really liked that a lot. 372 00:16:33,405 --> 00:16:38,295 I mean that extremely soft compared to the head, uh, that we played before. 373 00:16:38,535 --> 00:16:42,944 These ones was super soft, easy to handle, you know, balance, weight. 374 00:16:43,875 --> 00:16:45,104 Great feeling overall. 375 00:16:45,555 --> 00:16:45,734 Yeah. 376 00:16:46,064 --> 00:16:46,364 Okay. 377 00:16:46,364 --> 00:16:50,775 So now I'm at the net and, and I'm, you know, balling, I feel like I'm a 378 00:16:50,775 --> 00:16:52,935 little bit faster, uh, with this paddle. 379 00:16:52,935 --> 00:16:55,364 I can move this paddle, you know, very quickly. 380 00:16:55,724 --> 00:16:59,625 Um, uh, you know, when I hit the shots, I, I feel a little bit more. 381 00:17:00,645 --> 00:17:02,295 Especially when I hit it hard. 382 00:17:02,565 --> 00:17:06,375 Um, you know, um, so I feel like there should be a little bit more power. 383 00:17:06,375 --> 00:17:10,575 And I think the same thing with my, um, with my, uh, aerial shots. 384 00:17:10,575 --> 00:17:16,005 I feel like, uh, there should be a way to maybe manage the, the, the weight. 385 00:17:16,005 --> 00:17:18,975 So I, I would need, want more weight on the top just to get a little more 386 00:17:18,980 --> 00:17:20,625 power when it comes to my aerial shots. 387 00:17:21,525 --> 00:17:21,855 Yourself. 388 00:17:21,915 --> 00:17:26,714 For me, it was, uh, super easy to handle, very soft, good feeling, good touch. 389 00:17:28,380 --> 00:17:29,610 Me personally, I liked it. 390 00:17:29,670 --> 00:17:30,570 I liked it a lot. 391 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:31,740 Uh, aerial game. 392 00:17:31,740 --> 00:17:33,360 I needed a little bit more weight. 393 00:17:33,750 --> 00:17:38,640 And, and my suggestion, what I will do with this racket is some put 394 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,430 some, uh, lead weight on top of it. 395 00:17:41,610 --> 00:17:45,600 Um, you can buy it, uh, in any tennis store or anything like that and 396 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:46,800 start playing with the lead weight. 397 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,720 That will make a big difference for someone. 398 00:17:48,750 --> 00:17:51,280 For me, it needed just a little more weight on the. 399 00:17:52,185 --> 00:17:55,365 But the feeling was super soft and easy to handle. 400 00:17:55,815 --> 00:17:56,715 I think that's a great point. 401 00:17:56,715 --> 00:17:58,185 I don't think people know that either. 402 00:17:58,185 --> 00:17:58,605 Yeah, exactly. 403 00:17:58,665 --> 00:18:03,014 So if, if you have a paddle that you really like, um, and is well balanced, 404 00:18:03,045 --> 00:18:07,245 uh, similar to this and you feel just need a little bit more power, you can 405 00:18:07,250 --> 00:18:10,605 put a tape on the top, a weighted, weighted tape, um, and that will 406 00:18:10,635 --> 00:18:12,375 give you a little bit more, more. 407 00:18:13,505 --> 00:18:13,745 Yeah. 408 00:18:13,805 --> 00:18:15,575 Uh, great, great, great advice. 409 00:18:16,535 --> 00:18:20,495 Okay, so at the end of the day, what did you think about this paddle overall? 410 00:18:20,735 --> 00:18:23,135 Overall, I will give it an, uh, eight and a half. 411 00:18:23,135 --> 00:18:25,745 I mean, great feeling softer. 412 00:18:25,750 --> 00:18:27,275 I mean, I like the softer side. 413 00:18:27,635 --> 00:18:31,085 Um, you, you start feeling the ball that it BULs react to it. 414 00:18:31,415 --> 00:18:33,169 Um, I just love it. 415 00:18:33,169 --> 00:18:34,070 Eight and a half for me. 416 00:18:34,550 --> 00:18:34,820 Okay. 417 00:18:34,820 --> 00:18:36,620 So for me, uh, I really liked it too. 418 00:18:36,649 --> 00:18:38,000 It was well-balanced. 419 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,820 You know, this paddle is probably for somebody who plays the right side. 420 00:18:41,179 --> 00:18:43,550 Uh, somebody who is more technical. 421 00:18:43,820 --> 00:18:48,139 Um, this paddle is probably not for the person who wants to, uh, smash 422 00:18:48,139 --> 00:18:51,260 all the time or a really aggressive, somebody plays the left side. 423 00:18:51,649 --> 00:18:54,540 Um, so if you are playing more technical, you're on the right 424 00:18:54,544 --> 00:18:55,909 side, uh, and you're hitting. 425 00:18:56,475 --> 00:18:57,465 Precise shots. 426 00:18:57,525 --> 00:19:00,525 Um, this is a well-balanced, uh, paddle. 427 00:19:00,645 --> 00:19:02,025 You know, it's really balanced. 428 00:19:02,025 --> 00:19:03,315 It feels light on your hand. 429 00:19:03,345 --> 00:19:05,325 Uh, the balance is in the center here. 430 00:19:05,685 --> 00:19:07,575 Uh, you're able to control the ball. 431 00:19:07,905 --> 00:19:11,985 You're not gonna get as much power, you know, as other paddles, but I think this 432 00:19:11,985 --> 00:19:16,485 is a good paddle for, you know, beginners, intermediate, and even advanced. 433 00:19:16,545 --> 00:19:18,885 Um, so all depends on your style of fly. 434 00:19:18,885 --> 00:19:18,945 Yeah. 435 00:19:18,975 --> 00:19:21,015 So I'll, I'll give this paddle a name. 436 00:19:21,405 --> 00:19:21,795 Yeah. 437 00:19:21,795 --> 00:19:24,015 And, and I think we'll be like, uh, Seth was saying. 438 00:19:24,764 --> 00:19:28,866 Great paddle for someone who plays on the right, uh, who can construct the 439 00:19:28,870 --> 00:19:33,405 points and all that because it gives you that easy maneuver, maneuverability to 440 00:19:33,405 --> 00:19:38,054 really, you know, prepare points, uh, is not, uh, you will not get as much 441 00:19:38,054 --> 00:19:41,865 power on the arrow game or the overheads or the bandas or the, or the vis. 442 00:19:42,495 --> 00:19:44,685 But overall, it's, it's a, it's a great paddle. 443 00:19:45,015 --> 00:19:46,125 So how much is this? 444 00:19:46,245 --> 00:19:47,715 How much is this paddle these babies? 445 00:19:47,715 --> 00:19:48,945 About 380 bucks. 446 00:19:48,975 --> 00:19:49,425 300. 447 00:19:49,575 --> 00:19:50,055 Whoa. 448 00:19:50,055 --> 00:19:53,235 Let's you know, you know, you have, you have san's name on it, right? 449 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:53,385 Yeah. 450 00:19:53,385 --> 00:19:57,315 You know, so that's an extra 20, 20, 30, 40 bucks there, right there. 451 00:19:57,315 --> 00:19:58,245 It's just to have his name. 452 00:19:58,245 --> 00:19:58,335 Right. 453 00:19:58,335 --> 00:20:01,185 And, and hopefully he stays with this paddle because he's made two other ones, 454 00:20:01,185 --> 00:20:02,805 and I'm sure people have purchased those. 455 00:20:03,135 --> 00:20:05,205 I was a little disappointed in those other two. 456 00:20:05,535 --> 00:20:08,025 Uh, but I, I, I definitely like, like, like this one. 457 00:20:08,030 --> 00:20:08,145 Yeah. 458 00:20:08,715 --> 00:20:08,955 Okay. 459 00:20:08,955 --> 00:20:11,715 So let's, let's, let's move on to the next, uh, uh, paddle. 460 00:20:13,575 --> 00:20:17,415 The world famous Bella Wilson, Bella. 461 00:20:17,865 --> 00:20:19,605 New model 2023. 462 00:20:20,085 --> 00:20:21,645 This is the Bella Pro. 463 00:20:21,915 --> 00:20:25,035 As you know, they, they come in three different versions. 464 00:20:25,035 --> 00:20:27,225 You know, the pro is the, the heaviest one. 465 00:20:27,495 --> 00:20:32,025 They have the lead, they have the light lt, and they have the team, which 466 00:20:32,025 --> 00:20:33,345 is the largest out of all of them. 467 00:20:33,615 --> 00:20:37,185 Uh, this is the pro, this is the panel that he actually plays with it. 468 00:20:37,455 --> 00:20:39,945 This is the heavier, you know, more competitive version. 469 00:20:40,590 --> 00:20:48,120 Um, 370 grams, you know, out of, out of the bag with grip it was 3 82. 470 00:20:48,120 --> 00:20:52,200 So you're adding about another 12 grams of it, which it makes 471 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:53,640 it, you know, a bit different. 472 00:20:53,970 --> 00:20:59,460 Um, I will say it's a diamond head, medium balance, uh, um, big, sweet spot. 473 00:20:59,460 --> 00:21:02,550 I, out of this paddle, this is, um, the paddle that I. 474 00:21:03,659 --> 00:21:04,679 Actually I use the lead. 475 00:21:04,679 --> 00:21:09,419 No, the pro, uh, great feeling, great sweet spot when you hit it. 476 00:21:09,449 --> 00:21:12,600 Oh my God, that ball, it's, it's, it's fantastic that feeling that I 477 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:18,360 get three K carbon fiber, so it's not as stiff as the 12 K or, or the 478 00:21:18,730 --> 00:21:20,459 18 K, so it's a little bit softer. 479 00:21:20,730 --> 00:21:24,719 So you get that extra give on the wall that gives you that extra power. 480 00:21:25,020 --> 00:21:27,959 Medium foam is not a hard form, so it's medium foam. 481 00:21:27,959 --> 00:21:31,365 So, You know what, where I'm, where we're going with this, you know, 482 00:21:31,365 --> 00:21:35,565 three K medium foam, so that, that bull goes, I mean, and that's the 483 00:21:35,565 --> 00:21:37,275 feeling that you get with this paddle. 484 00:21:37,605 --> 00:21:41,265 Um, you have a texture right surface, it's sort of like a diamond thing. 485 00:21:41,325 --> 00:21:44,055 Um, they come up with their own, uh, branding. 486 00:21:44,504 --> 00:21:48,495 Um, it's a, well, I, I will say it's a bit head heavier, but on 487 00:21:48,495 --> 00:21:50,715 the, on the specs here, they're talking about, uh, it's a balanced. 488 00:21:51,584 --> 00:21:54,225 Um, and know what and what do you think? 489 00:21:54,675 --> 00:21:56,415 Well, I think you're in love with this racket. 490 00:21:56,564 --> 00:21:56,925 I am. 491 00:21:57,824 --> 00:21:58,215 I am. 492 00:21:58,304 --> 00:22:00,014 I, I love the shape, I love the feeling. 493 00:22:00,044 --> 00:22:03,284 Uh, it's a very, very nice, I gotta tell you, it's probably the most 494 00:22:03,344 --> 00:22:05,054 beautiful paddle that I've seen. 495 00:22:05,054 --> 00:22:08,865 I mean, I gotta, these two are, are probably the nicest, uh, design 496 00:22:08,870 --> 00:22:09,735 paddles that, that I've seen. 497 00:22:09,885 --> 00:22:10,784 I really liked ya. 498 00:22:10,784 --> 00:22:13,365 Well, um, and I really like this Bella. 499 00:22:13,365 --> 00:22:15,415 I mean, It is gorgeous. 500 00:22:15,445 --> 00:22:17,335 Yeah, this is gorgeous rep, uh, paddle. 501 00:22:17,635 --> 00:22:19,675 Um, I do see that there's a texture there. 502 00:22:19,675 --> 00:22:23,515 And you know what I'm realizing is that in the Bella with the a I believe 503 00:22:23,515 --> 00:22:26,695 that's the, the, the texture that's on here, which is kind of cool. 504 00:22:26,695 --> 00:22:28,105 I'm just realizing that now. 505 00:22:28,735 --> 00:22:31,015 But, um, I, I, I liked it. 506 00:22:31,015 --> 00:22:32,935 I, I, that was, it's a good racket. 507 00:22:32,995 --> 00:22:34,555 Um, it's well-balanced. 508 00:22:34,645 --> 00:22:36,355 It has a good sweet spot. 509 00:22:36,835 --> 00:22:38,725 Um, you know, it is a medium. 510 00:22:39,705 --> 00:22:42,030 Okay, so you're not gonna get a huge power, but you're gonna 511 00:22:42,030 --> 00:22:43,440 get a lot of, lot of control. 512 00:22:43,710 --> 00:22:47,220 So I think this is a really good paddle for, you know, for anybody. 513 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,620 Alright, Julian, so how did you like playing with this paddle? 514 00:22:49,620 --> 00:22:50,550 The, the back wall? 515 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:54,330 Uh, like, like I said before, you know, I played with this one with the elite 516 00:22:54,390 --> 00:22:57,690 and this one gives you a little, a little bit more extra, uh, weight on it. 517 00:22:57,960 --> 00:22:59,660 The feeling was superb, honestly. 518 00:22:59,700 --> 00:23:01,230 But I mean, I'm biased on this. 519 00:23:01,260 --> 00:23:05,430 Uh, I've been using this spider for quite a while and, uh, it's 520 00:23:05,430 --> 00:23:08,130 just great feeling, great feeling, you know, it is not that heavy. 521 00:23:08,130 --> 00:23:08,550 It's not that. 522 00:23:09,210 --> 00:23:10,740 It's not, it's not that hard. 523 00:23:10,740 --> 00:23:11,670 It's not that soft. 524 00:23:11,910 --> 00:23:14,220 So you find that perfect combination. 525 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,850 And look, this, this paddle has been designed by, you know, the 526 00:23:18,120 --> 00:23:22,830 legend of paddle, you know, uh, Bella, and, and he knows paddles. 527 00:23:22,860 --> 00:23:25,350 So, uh, this is a top of the line paddle. 528 00:23:25,355 --> 00:23:28,830 I mean, for me, it's, it's, it's, it's just a fantastic paddle. 529 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,670 I love it from the baseline, easy to control, good control, 530 00:23:32,670 --> 00:23:33,870 and good speed and good. 531 00:23:34,935 --> 00:23:35,265 How about you? 532 00:23:35,415 --> 00:23:39,705 For my, for myself at the back wall, I found it, um, really great when 533 00:23:39,705 --> 00:23:42,645 it came off the back wall or the ball was a little bit slower, it had 534 00:23:42,645 --> 00:23:46,905 more, less effort I had to put in to get the ball where I wanted to go. 535 00:23:47,295 --> 00:23:50,325 Uh, when hitting the, hitting the, the ball, I, you know, 536 00:23:50,325 --> 00:23:51,585 I felt like I hit it well. 537 00:23:51,675 --> 00:23:55,855 Um, not as powerful as what I'm used to, but, you know, it, it, I 538 00:23:55,860 --> 00:23:59,115 had a lot of control over the ball and, and that's sometimes more 539 00:23:59,115 --> 00:24:00,435 important than getting the power. 540 00:24:00,975 --> 00:24:01,545 Um, okay. 541 00:24:01,550 --> 00:24:03,705 So how did you, how did you like this when you were. 542 00:24:04,465 --> 00:24:05,185 Uh, net. 543 00:24:05,185 --> 00:24:06,415 I mean, I, I felt great. 544 00:24:06,475 --> 00:24:12,505 You know, when you hit these paddles, uh, they have, they have so much rd on it, uh, 545 00:24:12,565 --> 00:24:15,205 that they have a beautiful, sweet spot. 546 00:24:15,210 --> 00:24:17,845 When you hit it right on the sweet spot, that ball goes. 547 00:24:17,845 --> 00:24:19,795 I mean, it's, you feel it perfect. 548 00:24:20,215 --> 00:24:23,635 Uh, which I never felt it with the Diablo or, or the head. 549 00:24:23,935 --> 00:24:25,765 Uh, these for me, which is fantastic. 550 00:24:25,765 --> 00:24:28,465 I mean, I, I just love the, you know, four hands backhands aerial. 551 00:24:29,190 --> 00:24:29,880 Put away. 552 00:24:30,030 --> 00:24:34,140 I mean, it was just, uh, I will give it a rating of nine, nine and a half for me. 553 00:24:34,140 --> 00:24:34,320 Wow. 554 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:35,280 We're not there yet. 555 00:24:35,370 --> 00:24:39,370 What I wanted to say, you know, I wanna be biased, man. 556 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,660 Well, it sure sounds like that's better. 557 00:24:42,660 --> 00:24:43,230 That's better. 558 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:44,760 Alright. 559 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,970 For myself at, you know, balling, uh, you know, I did fine. 560 00:24:47,970 --> 00:24:48,870 I like the balling. 561 00:24:49,260 --> 00:24:51,630 Um, when it came to the aerial shot, especially the vi. 562 00:24:52,475 --> 00:24:55,085 Uh, I felt like I just need a little bit more power. 563 00:24:55,175 --> 00:24:57,755 Um, I just lacked a little bit more power for me. 564 00:24:58,055 --> 00:25:01,205 Uh, although I do play the right side, I, I tend to be somewhat more 565 00:25:01,210 --> 00:25:04,685 aggressive, so my expectations are a little bit more power, meaning the ball's 566 00:25:04,685 --> 00:25:08,825 gonna come out faster on the ball, but generally, uh, this is a great paddle. 567 00:25:08,885 --> 00:25:13,475 Uh, suggest this for, you know, any, uh, uh, beginners, instrumenting, even. 568 00:25:13,895 --> 00:25:15,785 You know, some's playing the right side. 569 00:25:15,815 --> 00:25:19,715 Again, I believe this is for me, very similar to the Diablo, um, 570 00:25:19,815 --> 00:25:22,235 in, in many different ways, but obviously they're both, uh, a 571 00:25:22,235 --> 00:25:23,645 little different in their own ways. 572 00:25:24,035 --> 00:25:27,725 Um, okay, so I'm gonna rate this, you know, about an a, uh, for me. 573 00:25:27,995 --> 00:25:29,195 Uh, just come on, man. 574 00:25:29,254 --> 00:25:29,825 That was tough. 575 00:25:29,830 --> 00:25:33,004 I mean, that that record is, that record is, it's a great, oh my 576

more power for me. 582 00:25:45,660 --> 00:25:48,360 And then that's just, just, just for my myself. 583 00:25:48,630 --> 00:25:48,900 All right. 584 00:25:48,900 --> 00:25:49,500 So price? 585

00:28:50,895 --> 00:28:55,545 new paddle comes out and, and I want it, but am I gonna like it? 662 00:28:55,605 --> 00:28:59,745 And I always tend to buy it, right, and then not like it, and then have 663 00:28:59,745 --> 00:29:01,545 to sell it for as a discounted price. 664 00:29:01,550 --> 00:29:03,195 But you don't have to do that anymore. 665 00:29:03,255 --> 00:29:05,445 I mean, now, like I

676 00:29:25,205 --> 00:29:28,295 of view, but at the end of the day, you gotta try it out because 677 00:29:28,295 --> 00:29:33,285 if you're gonna spend almost $400 on a paddle, You have to like it.
