I appreciate you saying so! I figured there must be a few efficiency-minded people on youtube that would enjoy my perspective on things, haha.

Wow, glad to see the sport has made it to that side of the world! Maybe we can get enough global support to get it into the 2032 olympics, haha.

Thank you, that means a lot to me 😄

Happy to help! The ZOEA paddle is NOT a good choice - not USAP approved, shorter than standard, and the surface is not raw carbon fiber. The Pioneer paddles are thermoformed, so they will not last as long as other paddles. If I were in your situation, I would buy the Vatic Pro Prism. Hope that helps and thank you so much for the support!

THANK YOU FORYOUR VERY HELPFUL REPLY. IWILL FOLLOW YOUR ADVICE & NOT WASTE MY MONEY BUYYING A POOR PADDLE.

Hmm... I didn't find anything that fits quite like the 6210 that was noticeably shorter for me. The Bella Canvas shirt was even longer. The Sonoma tees (Khol's clothing brand) are shorter, but they aren't as tight around the arms. You can try them in store, but order them online because Khols rips you off in the store.

My pleasure 😁

Glad to hear they hold up over time 😄

Thank you, that means a lot to me! I just make the videos I wish existed when I was shopping for stuff.

That just tells you when my next video comes 😅. But if you have a specific request, you can comment.

@@RitzyBellhop Now you tell me - lol. Best wishes with the channel. 👍🏿

I'll add it to my list. There's a lot of items to get to 😅. I appreciate you!

An excellent question! I may have to do a video addressing this in the future after I do more long-term testing. For now, here is all I know: 1. Both are very good and as a beginner you might not even be able to tell much of a difference between the two 2. Most skilled players I have spoken to prefer the flash 3. I prefer the V7 when I am farther back on the court, but I prefer the flash when I'm at the kitchen line. Most newer players spend more time farther back. Hope that helps!

Based on the product details, it seems identical to the HISK paddle, so it is likely a good paddle just like the HISK, but it is still my prediction that the Roycelong would be more optimal on a per-dollar basis.

Glad it was helpful!

Ty for warning me about avoiding Thermo Formed. 👍

My pleasure! Your compliment means a lot to me 😁

Great question! Raw carbon fiber has nothing added to it, while "normal" carbon fiber is infused with resin. Generally, the motive for companies to use "normal" carbon fiber instead of raw carbon fiber is because they can better paint the surface with attractive designs. So usually, paddles that are all black on the face will be raw carbon fiber, and carbon fiber paddles that are painted colorfully (like Friday, some Selkirk) will not be raw.

It's a good paddle. In fact, if it was the same price as the others, it would have gotten the recommendation. But no one who tested it could say it was 50% better than the Aihoye/Roycelong/FMEIDA. Better? Yes, many said so. But not 50% better. I'm just proud of you for getting one with all the optimal specs 👍.

@@RitzyBellhop lol thanks 😅 and that is a valid point about the 50%

My pleasure

I had assumed sweet spot size is a direct result of construction methods/materials. But since I couldn't be sure, I had the paddles tested by skilled players as a catch-all measure of anything that could not be directly observed. That's how I concluded the Vatic Pro was better than the others even though the materials were the same.

I would have picked Machi Koro as the replacement for Dominion. I like 7 Wonders a lot, but it costs four times as much as Sushi Go, and I can't say I enjoy 7 Wonders four times more, which is why Sushi Go was my pick.

Love me some Telestrations.

sushi go is amazing, definitely recommend for game night with friends!

Not cute, _kawaii._

Noooo, my commission!😭. We can know for sure it is not USAP approved because USAP has a database of approved paddles and the Roycelong is not in it. As you know, the Vatic is my alternate recommendation. But I feel quite sad I was not able to provide one of my guests with an optimal deal. I'll tell you what, I still have the FMEIDA paddle. It might not be optimal for $40, but it certainly would be for the price of FREE. In my channel details, you can find my channel email. If you live in the continental USA and send me your address, I will ship it to you free of charge, if you like.

How kind, thank you! I’m just looking for some carbon fiber grit at the moment. Currently playing with a fiberglass starter paddle. When I increase my skills a bit, I’ll be more picky about other details. I’ll email you for sure. 😁

@RitzyBellhop I received the FMEIDA in the mail, thanks again! I've only been able to play with it once so far, but I think it improves my control and decreases power, as expected by your review. I'll have to refine my swing to adjust, I may end up needing something a little more "poppy". I did not notice the boxier handle to bother me while playing. A decent introduction to carbon fiber, especially given the Ritzy deal! 😁

If you still feel you need more pop after playing with it more and getting used to it, you could try a 14mm paddle next (Vatic Pro offers their paddles in 14mm).

I suspect there will be many things I end up reviewing that aren't expected by most people, haha.

Happy to help! Yes, I am aware of the 6010, and I actually really like rayon as a material for it's light and breathable properties, but the 6010 uses more polyester than the 6210 (50% vs 40%). The increased use of polyester counteracts much of the benefit of using the rayon. I don't think you'd be unhappy with either shirt but I recommended the 6210 because there were more color options.

I sent an email to your contact listed on your channel. I also updated my channel page to include an email to reach me.

Thanks for the update

I appreciate the input. Personally like the flash and the V7 about the same, both very good paddles. Some of the skilled players did say the Hisk performed better than the other cheap options, but not 50% better as the price would suggest.

@@RitzyBellhop I would agree with you. What I found in the field is that people buy the real cheap 30 dollar for 2 paddles and 2 ball starter set. They get this just to see if they like pickleball. But then if they want to buy an upgrade paddle - they might go to 50-60 dollars when really they should go 85 or more for Prism/Hudef/Neonic etc. But that 85 dollar price for carbon fiber is "cheap" compared to the average price of 180 dollars for premium paddles. Ouch !! I could never spend that much. cheers !!
