Love your channel. Been playing pickleball for about 5 months now with very budget paddles. I have really improved quite a bit from practice and watching your RUclips channel. It is now about time for a new paddle and would really love to be able to play with a much better paddle that has control and power and not have the wife on me for spending more $$ on my pickleball habit. Again, love your channel. Great content. Keep it coming.
Thank you so much for your kind words and support, @domingoflores1429! It's fantastic to hear about your progress in pickleball, and we're thrilled our channel has been a part of your journey. Upgrading to a paddle like the Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3 could definitely give your game that extra edge with its perfect balance of control and power. We understand the delicate art of budget management too, so fingers crossed for the giveaway! Maybe this will be the upgrade you can enjoy without the extra expense. Keep playing and improving, and we'll keep the great content coming! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3
Thank you guys for the review of the paddle. I’ve been playing pickle ball for about six months. I’m 63 years old and it would be a nice win to move up to a better pad. Thank you.

Best of luck in the giveaway; we hope this upgrade makes your game even more enjoyable! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3 #Hudef
Loving the design of the paddle and looking forward to being able to play with a kevlar/carbon upper. Loved playing with the mage pro. Would love to see how this plays
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, @amaurynataliemoreno9886! It’s great to hear you enjoyed the Mage Pro-Hudef definitely has a knack for design and performance. The blue and white color scheme of the Viva Pro Gen 3 is indeed eye-catching, and the kevlar/carbon fiber composition offers a unique play experience. We’re excited for you to try it out and see how it compares to the Mage Pro. Best of luck in the giveaway and hope it adds another level to your game! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3

The Hudef Viva Pro Gen3 is the best of the approximately 20 I’ve played with. Great pop, power and control. Kevlar surface provides great spin too. And it looks awesome.
Wow, @matthewschwartz4933, that's quite the endorsement! With around 20 paddles under your belt, saying the Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3 tops the list is high praise indeed. We're thrilled to hear it checks all the boxes for you-pop, power, control, spin, and style. It sounds like this paddle is a real game-changer in your collection.

Great stuff - love the b-roll and Ryan really winding up on some of those balls. They came out with the next step up and something that looks great with the white trim and grip. It's also nice to see something kevlar which is not red in color. Great warranty too. Thanks again.
Hey @PKB-AG, thanks as always for your fantastic support and keen observations! We’re glad you appreciated the b-roll and Ryan's demonstrations. It’s great to hear your positive feedback on the design and color choices of the Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3 as well-Hudef really does stand out with their aesthetics and quality.

Thanks for keeping up with our reviews, and we hope you love the Gen 3 if you decide to go for it! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3 #Hudef
Hey @karimmarrakchi597! It sounds like the Gen 2 has been a trusty sidekick on the courts. Ready to level up? The Gen 3 is waiting to sweep you off your feet with even more spin and power-like the superhero sequel that outdoes the original! We can’t wait to hear how you feel after trying it. Thanks for your support, and may the spin be with you! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3

We're glad you're excited about it! Best of luck in the giveaway, and thanks for being a part of our community! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3
Hi @rossanderson9156! We're pleased with the lower swing weight of the Gen 3. It definitely makes a big difference, especially when maneuvering around the kitchen area during games. We think you'll find it enhances your agility and control on the court. Thanks for tuning in, and best of luck if you're entering the giveaway! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3 #hudef
Great review! I’ve been fans of you guys for a while, I love the back conversation style format. I want this paddle because it sounds like a match for my playing style and because it would LOOKS AMAZING.
Thanks so much, @mathewrutledge2922! We're thrilled to hear you enjoy our conversational style and have been following us for a while. It sounds like the Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3 could really complement your style and, absolutely, it would look amazing in action! Best of luck in the giveaway, and thanks for being a part of our community! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3
Good job with the review of one of the more affordable Gen. 3 paddles. I'd love to try the Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3 and experience its' longer dwell time plus the power and spin from its' carbon/Kevlar fusion surface.
Thanks, @jcobs_Im_the_1! We're glad you appreciated the review and the affordability of the Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3. It sounds like you have a keen eye for the technical benefits-longer dwell time, power, and spin are definitely highlights with the carbon/Kevlar fusion. We hope you get the chance to experience it firsthand. Best of luck in the giveaway! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3
Nice review! You should give this paddle to me as I'm looking to qualify for the Senior Pro Tour and can't do it without the latest & greatest Gen3 paddle!
Hi @quy-le! Thanks for sticking with us for a whole year and for your kind words about our review! It sounds like the Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3 could be a great asset on your journey to the Senior Pro Tour. We've got our fingers crossed for you in the giveaway-hope this paddle helps you smash your way to success! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3
Annika (my wife) and I recently started playing pickleball and we have really enjoyed it! We started with cheap paddles, but the Viva Gen 3 would be an awesome upgrade!!
All the Hudef paddles are really such value for money paddle.. they really make paddles for the everyday player at great prices... all the VIVA pro paddles are really great... hudefsport.com/collections/pickleball-paddles
Hey Josh! Thanks for the shout-out! You’re right, while Kevlar isn’t the revolutionary jump that carbon fiber was, it’s definitely adding some interesting tweaks to paddle technology. It’s great to see you’re keen to explore these new advancements. Good luck in the giveaway-winning the Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3 could be your perfect ticket to trying out the Kevlar-carbon fiber combo and seeing what it adds to your game. Catch you on the courts soon! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3
Another awesome content and review, just ordered last week but got it for $119.00 some reviewers who reviewed the Gen3 got a discount code for 30% off from Hudef, can't wait to play with the Gen 3 soon
Thanks, @bundan5! We're glad the surface of the Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3 caught your eye-it really is something special with that Kevlar face. Trying it out could definitely add a new level of play to your game. Best of luck in the giveaway, and we hope you get to experience it soon! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3
Thanks for the feedback, @marcossama13! It’s great to hear you've enjoyed the Viva Pro Gen 2. We think you’ll be equally excited about the enhancements in the Gen 3 with its hybrid Kevlar and Carbon Fiber build. It’s seemed to be designed to step up the game with even better control and power. Looking forward to your thoughts on it once you get a chance to try it out! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3 #hudef
Thank you, @dinryu! It's great to hear you're interested in exploring different materials in pickleball paddles. The Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3's combination of Kevlar and carbon fiber could definitely offer a new dimension to your game. We're glad you enjoyed the review and wish you the best of luck in the giveaway! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3
It seems Hudef Viva Pro is getting better and better, the only thing concerns me is the swing weight, it could be lowered by making the head more aero curved.
Thanks for your insight, @benwu3150! It’s great to hear that you recognize the improvements in the Hudef Viva Pro series. I believe esp with the Viva Pro Series, every next paddle been an improvememt. Your comment about the swing weight and the potential for a more aerodynamic head design is definitely interesting. Check our paddle matrix on our website. The Mage runs n the lower side of swing weight. www.topickleballandbeyond.com/paddle-metrics We always appreciate hearing what could make these paddles even better for players like you. Thanks for being part of the conversation and for your continued support! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3 #Hudef
I love your you tube site . Thank you for making choices easier . I would like to have the hudef gen 3 paddle . Unfortunately even though the paddle might be affordable I’m not able to get one . Economical family responsibilities have to come first . I love the sport and I love the hudef company . There products are well made . Please make a pickle ball lover happy . Let there be a Christmas present in April for this player . Thank you .
Hello @alexpazmino4762, thank you for such warm words and for being a part of our RUclips family! We completely understand prioritizing family responsibilities, and it’s wonderful to hear your passion for pickleball and appreciation for Hudef's quality. We're touched by your message and hope this giveaway could be your early Christmas surprise. Best of luck, and keep spreading the love for the sport! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3
I have a viva pro 1 and it's a solid paddle. I stand behind this company. I actually had to use the warranty on the first paddle, and Hudef immediately sent a replacement without any questions asked. I would love to have this paddle because it's time to upgrade from a Gen1 to a Gen3! Thanks for the review!
I put this in a comparative context to the SixZero Ruby Paddle as far as a competitor with Power, Pop and Spin, all of which are criterion critical to my game play. I've been researching Pickleball Paddles for the course of the winter and have evolved from my initial desires for a Selkirk Vanguard Invikta or a Joola Perseus Ben John's to something in the Kevlar equipped area.
both of you continue on making great content and great reviews, I just started playing pickleball this year I'm coming from a tennis background, I both purchased the Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3 and Gen 2 Mage Pro, I can't wait to play with the paddles at the courts and have a blessed, wonderful, positive, productive, peaceful and safe week
Man i want to buy all these new paddles! Love the review. I'm really excited about the elongated paddles like this with decent swing weights and control + a ton of power.
Hey @its_maxbro, welcome to our channel and thanks for subscribing! We're glad you're as excited about these new paddles as we are. The Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3 definitely stands out with its balance of swing weight, control, and power. It sounds like it would be a perfect fit for your energetic play style. Keep that excitement going, and who knows? Maybe you'll win one to add to your collection! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3
Perfect timing! Wanted to check out the Gen 2, but now maybe I'll consider an upgrade to Gen 3 paddle. I have the Viva Pro in 14 mm and 16mm and the Mage, love the paddles, but yes......lacking in power...Thanks for the review and the discount code!
Love the review! I am currently a 3.5 player looking to start playing in some 4.0 tournaments, but have been using the same paddle for almost a year and its age is definitely showing! Would definitely love this paddle (especially as a broke college student).
Thanks for the kind words, @mollymclaughlin2154! It’s great to hear about your progression and ambition to step up to 4.0 tournaments. We totally understand the challenges of balancing sports expenses, especially as a student ( been there). The Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3 could be just the upgrade you need to help elevate your game without breaking the bank. We're rooting for you in the giveaway and plan to have more in the future as our channel grows-so stay tuned! Best of luck, and keep smashing those goals! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3 #Hudef
Thanks for your comment, @coach_Kellem12! It’s always exciting to hear from players who are considering trying new gear. The Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3 does indeed focus on control, but it also brings a unique blend of power and finesse, thanks to its advanced materials like Kevlar and carbon fiber. While it shares some characteristics with the Gearbox Pro Power, the Hudef paddle offers a distinctive experience due to its design and material composition. If you decide to give it a spin, we'd love to hear how it compares and fits into your play style! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3
Nice to see the updates from Hudef! While leaning on the power side, I love the comment about it being just barely. Kevlar surface piece took me by surprise when you shared it!
Love your reviews! Big fan here in Rochester! Your in-depth reviews are awesome and led me to two of my favorite paddles the filth and the J5. Hopefully I’ll get to try this paddle out too!
Are you in Rochester MN… very nice… I love the J5… would love to meet the follow J5 fan… ( Honolulu pickleball company has a great collection - soon realizing a review with some of their give away too… ) ..
@@VinoRajshelumiel yes I am in Rochester MN. The J5 is my main now and I love it. Would definitely want to meet and discuss the paddle! The Honolulu pickleball company is amazing and look forward to more reviews of them from you guys!
I bought a GEN2 after a bit of research to upgrade from my beginner paddle. Noticed a big difference in my game and confidence. Been playing one year now thinking I would like a bit more control and spin to go along with the power. Feel free to give up thet paddle to me ✌️
Thanks for your review guys!! Very thorough and informative! I would enjoy getting this paddle for its power and being elongated! I don’t have anything like this and feel it could improve certain parts of my game!! Thank you!!
Thank you, @John-cs1cj! We're thrilled that you found the review thorough and informative. Always appreciate the feedback from our subscribers. The unique power and elongated design of the Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3 could definitely be a great addition to enhance your game. We appreciate your enthusiasm and hope you get the chance to experience this paddle soon. Best of luck in the giveaway! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3
This sounds like a great paddle! I've been curious about Hudef since the Gen1. Money has been tight but I would absolutely LOVE to show up on the courts here with this paddle- the specs sound like it's a perfect fit for me:) Thanks for the awesome review!
Thanks, @danpodina438! If you're considering diving into the world of Kevlar paddles, the Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3 is definitely a great choice to start with. Its combination of Kevlar and carbon fiber offers a unique blend of power and control that we think you’ll appreciate. We're excited for you to experience the difference and hear your thoughts! Best of luck if you decide to go for it! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3 #Hudef
It sounds like this really is just a standard Gen 2 paddle. Whats new to Hudef is perimeter foam and handle foam. But all the new Gen 3 paddles have some sort of foam support in addition to the standard industry edge foam. Having not played with it yet, this is clearly from my perspective.
Hey @shelbylangston329! It’s great to hear your insights, and you’re spot on with noticing the nuanced upgrades! While the Gen 3 might seem like a subtle evolution rather than a revolution from the Gen 2, the advanced thermoforming technology and the combination of DuPont raw Kevlar with T700 raw carbon fiber indeed set it apart. This tech isn't just about adding foam; it's about enhancing overall stability and comfort-something anyone with tennis elbow would surely appreciate. We think once you try it, you’ll feel the difference that might not be immediately obvious from the outside. It's kind of like upgrading from a comfy sofa to a comfier one with massage features-you know it when you feel it! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3
Thanks for the comment and for subscribing, @jps99jps99utube! We're glad you found the review interesting. The Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3 indeed offers some unique features that make it a standout choice. Stay tuned for more reviews, and best of luck if you decide to join the giveaway. Your support means a lot to us! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3 #Hudef
Great video as always fellas! Would love this paddle as I’m newer to the game with a tennis background looking to upgrade my Amazon paddle as I spend more hours on the courts!
Thank you, @12TrelPrime! It’s fantastic to hear from new players with a passion for getting into pickleball, especially those transitioning from other racquet sports like tennis. The Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3 would definitely be a significant upgrade from a basic Amazon paddle, offering you enhanced control and power that could really complement your tennis skills. We're excited for you to dive deeper into pickleball and hope this paddle helps elevate your game as you spend more time on the courts! Best of luck in the giveaway! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3
Great review! I am really wanting that Gen 2 but that swing weight on the Gen 3 would be better for my play. Not a huge difference in the weight, but I think that would help with forearms/elbow becoming more sore. In the mean time, I think I will continue to work on my strength training. Thanks again!
Thanks for the feedback, @mehringermr! It's great to hear that you're considering how the swing weight of the Gen 3 could benefit your playstyle, especially in supporting arm and elbow health. Strength training is definitely a good complement to your playing strategy. We appreciate your enthusiasm and detailed approach to improving your game. Good luck with both your training and the giveaway! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3
Welcome to the channel @user-bs5qf5ij5x, and thanks for subscribing! We're glad you found the review helpful. It's great to hear your perspective on the Gen 2, and we think you'll find the balance of the Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3 more to your liking. We hope you get a chance to try it out-perhaps even through our giveaway! Keep sharing your experiences, and thanks for being part of our community! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3
This is definitely going to be my next paddle! I’ve played with both the 1.0 and the 2.0 so I’m excited they are producing a 3rd upgrade to the line up! I’m a big review watcher so thank you for your opinions on the new 3.0! If I win the giveaway definitely be expecting a shoutout!
Whoa, I just heard they were comming out with a kevlar last week only. Seems the price point is not far from the sword & shield j2k range but their lifetime warranty really instill confidence with their product/ I do like what I see on the edge guard for this Hudef one. I tried the J2K and that seems like a dust magnet and takes some time for the eraser to work on it after play. Hope the dust comes of easier on this one. I heard you guys said the reset with this one is good and I think I'd like that part. I want this kevlar surface Hudef Via Gen 3 paddle to replace my Vatic Pro Flash.
I just recently discovered the sport and my first and only paddle is the hudef apex pro, I've been wanting to get an upgrade and here I'm taking my shot at it😂 hope I win.
Welcome to the pickleball community, @Josedanpep! It’s great to hear you started your journey with the Hudef Apex Pro-what a solid choice for a first paddle! The Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3 could be a fantastic upgrade, adding a new dimension to your game as you continue to explore and enjoy the sport. Best of luck in the giveaway; we’re rooting for you! Keep swinging and having fun on the courts! 😂🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3 #hudef
Hi from Sri Lanka, Amazing review @Pickleball and Beyond. As the sport is just growing here, it would be an awesome opportunity to experience what #Hudef has to offer with the new paddle
I would like to try this paddle! It sounds fun, I just saw your J2k review and I'm thinking about buying that one, this could be a good next paddle for when I want a bit more power and have figured out how to spin and keep the ball lower on drives and resets.
hahaha - 🤪@stephanieswicklik7893, I second that! An addict recognizes another, Stephanie! 😂 Looking forward to seeing if the Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3 can fuel your addiction with its standout performance. To more epic games together and potentially adding another gem to your collection. May the odds be ever in your favor...🤩👏
Absolutely, @roPLdbngDt! The Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3 is a massive step up from the Gen 2, bringing advanced features and refinements that elevate the playing experience. We're glad you recognize the upgrades! Thanks for your comment, and keep enjoying the evolution of the game! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3
I really do enjoy my Viva pro Gen 2. Plenty of power for driving and serving. Ive been awaiting to see if Hudef came out with their version of the Kevlar and carbon paddle. I tried a lot of paddles and have not seen any reason to upgrade the Viva pro Gen 2. ...until this Gen 3 has come out of course...More Spin and Control? where do I sign? Great review guys! 👏
Thanks a lot, @swiftraider759! It looks like you've been perfectly happy with the Viva Pro Gen 2-until now, that is! wink wink... The Gen 3 is stepping into the ring like the latest upgrade in a blockbuster franchise, bringing more spin, more control, and yes, that Kevlar-carbon charm! Where do you sign up? Right here at the "I Need That Gen 3 Club"! We're thrilled you enjoyed the review and can't wait to hear how the Gen 3 transforms your game. May your serves be fierce and your spins be dizzying! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3 #hudef
Thank you, @raleighbartholomew4186! Kevlar is certainly starting to show promise in pickleball paddles, especially when combined with materials like carbon fiber to enhance performance. While we're still exploring its full potential, the combination holds a lot of intrigue. We appreciate your interest and are glad you enjoyed the review. Stay tuned for our upcoming reviews featuring more innovative Kevlar designs! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3
HEY TOP GEAR FAN.... nice to meet a fellow Clarkson fan.... although i would keep the hammer away from this paddle.. haha too nice a paddle... Good luck with the give away.. and many more to come
Oh @epiccupcakethime, sounds like you’re ready to unleash the pickleball smackdown on your friends! The Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3 is perfect for delivering those spicy dinks and deadly drops before zipping them into body bags. May your paddle be swift and your tactics sly!

thanks for the great review! the new viva looks really fun to play with. i would like for you guys to give me the paddle because i love pickleball as much as anything and feel like my amazon paddle is holding me back a bit. i live in indiana and make minumum wage (7.25/hr) which is tied for the lowest in the country. I have also gotten my family into pickleball and if for some reason i didnt like the paddle or it didnt click with me i would give it to my mom for mothers day or my dad for fathers day.
Hello @drfathercawk8960, thanks for sharing your pickleball journey and enthusiasm with us! It’s great to hear that you’ve introduced your family to the sport as well. The Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3 could certainly be a game changer for you and potentially a wonderful gift for your mom or dad.

Why give this paddle to me? Personally game is evolving and would be a good transition to power as I am okay with control butt struggle generating power on drives and serves. I’ll keep working on technique but the paddle will help ;)
I like playing with paddles from smaller companies that come out with good products at affordable prices. The big boys simply charge too much for not that much better performance.
Why should I get the Viva Gen 3 paddle? I have a vanguard power air that has been working for a while but I’m in need of a true power paddle. So my friend and play often and we both advanced level pickleball players who play singles. He recently changed to a better paddle and I’m getting beat up easily. I need a power paddle to save energy and strategically pushed him. How I know? I tried someone’s paddle CBR 1x and it was fast. Oh boy! I’m searching for a power paddle. Give this to me 😁👍
Hey @Mavert83! Sounds like you're in dire need of an upgrade to keep up in those intense singles matches! The Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3 might just be the powerhouse you're looking for. It offers not just power, but also a fantastic spin and control balance, making it perfect for pushing back strategically and conserving your energy during those high-stakes games. Plus, with its sleek design, you’ll be winning in style. We hope the Gen 3 helps you turn the tables on your friend! Good luck in the giveaway, and may the best paddle win! 😁🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3 #Hudef

Love your channel. Been playing pickleball for about 5 months now with very budget paddles. I have really improved quite a bit from practice and watching your RUclips channel. It is now about time for a new paddle and would really love to be able to play with a much better paddle that has control and power and not have the wife on me for spending more $$ on my pickleball habit. Again, love your channel. Great content. Keep it coming.
Thank you so much for your kind words and support, @domingoflores1429! It's fantastic to hear about your progress in pickleball, and we're thrilled our channel has been a part of your journey.

Been playing with viva gen 2 for 3 month..loving it..gets more pop and power..hoping to upgrade to gen 3..hi..from Malaysia.
Paddle looks good, love the Mage, would like to upgrade to this, it looks so nice.
Hello @kolbybixler7574! We're glad you're enjoying the Mage-it's definitely a fan favorite for its performance and design. The Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3 is a great upgrade, offering enhancements like the Kevlar-carbon fiber combo for even more control and power. The sleek look is a bonus! We think you’ll appreciate the differences and the continuity in quality. Best of luck in the giveaway; we hope this upgrade makes your game even more enjoyable! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3 #Hudef
Loving the design of the paddle and looking forward to being able to play with a kevlar/carbon upper. Loved playing with the mage pro. Would love to see how this plays
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, @amaurynataliemoreno9886! It’s great to hear you enjoyed the Mage Pro-Hudef definitely has a knack for design and performance. The blue and white color scheme of the Viva Pro Gen 3 is indeed eye-catching, and the kevlar/carbon fiber composition offers a unique play experience. We’re excited for you to try it out and see how it compares to the Mage Pro. Best of luck in the giveaway and hope it adds another level to your game! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3
My first paddle just died. It would be a huge upgrade to have the Viva Gen 3 as a replacement.
Paddle looks nice and price is good.. quality and durability test is a must… I love to win this very interesting paddle.
Thanks, @jacomadelo7262! We're glad you're impressed with the look and price of the Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3. We’ve consistently been impressed with the quality and value of Hudef’s paddles, and we're confident that this one upholds their high standards. Winning it would give you a perfect opportunity to test its durability and performance yourself.

I want to show all the players at my local courts that this can hang with all the 6.0 Ruby’s I’m always playing against!!!
@jtakeoka, sounds like you're ready to bring some serious competition to the Ruby crowd! With the Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3 in hand, you’ll not only hang with them-you might just leave them dazzled and wondering if they need an upgrade too! Here’s to making a statement on your local courts and maybe even sparking a little paddle envy. Good luck in the giveaway-let's show those Rubies what's up! 🏓 hahaha #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3 #hudef
The Hudef Viva Pro Gen3 is the best of the approximately 20 I’ve played with. Great pop, power and control. Kevlar surface provides great spin too. And it looks awesome.
Wow, @matthewschwartz4933, that's quite the endorsement! With around 20 paddles under your belt, saying the Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3 tops the list is high praise indeed. We're thrilled to hear it checks all the boxes for you-pop, power, control, spin, and style. It sounds like this paddle is a real game-changer in your collection. Thanks for sharing your experience, and here's to many more wins with your new favorite! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3 #hudef
Would love this paddle. I have the hudef mage, and gen 2. Very excited for a well priced kevlar face. Good luck all

Great stuff - love the b-roll and Ryan really winding up on some of those balls. They came out with the next step up and something that looks great with the white trim and grip. It's also nice to see something kevlar which is not red in color. Great warranty too. Thanks again.
Hey @PKB-AG, thanks as always for your fantastic support and keen observations! We’re glad you appreciated the b-roll and Ryan's demonstrations. It’s great to hear your positive feedback on the design and color choices of the Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3 as well-Hudef really does stand out with their aesthetics and quality.

I wanted the gen 2 but now might have to go for the gen 3 now. Love all the new kevlar paddles coming out.
Hey @owenmaddrey9450! It sounds like the timing might be just right for you to jump straight into the Gen 3, especially with all the exciting advancements in Kevlar technology. We're glad you're excited about the new wave of Kevlar paddles. The Gen 3 could be a great fit for you, offering a fresh blend of power and precision. Thanks for keeping up with our reviews, and we hope you love the Gen 3 if you decide to go for it! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3 #Hudef
I played with both and to me the Gen3 is slightly better in every aspect. But the Gen2 is terrific. I just love the Kevlar.
The Gen 2 is the paddle I use and appreciate the most. I would love to try the Gen 3 and experience more spin and power. Thanks
Hey @karimmarrakchi597! It sounds like the Gen 2 has been a trusty sidekick on the courts. Ready to level up? The Gen 3 is waiting to sweep you off your feet with even more spin and power-like the superhero sequel that outdoes the original! We can’t wait to hear how you feel after trying it. Thanks for your support, and may the spin be with you! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3
This sounds like a real winner! I certainly need more power and control in my game. Thanks!
Thanks for your comment, @jamesstokes277! It sounds like the Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3 could be just what you're looking for to boost both power and control in your game. We're glad you're excited about it! Best of luck in the giveaway, and thanks for being a part of our community! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3
Thanks for the review, glad to here the Gen3 has a lower swing weight than the Gen2.
Hi @rossanderson9156! We're pleased with the lower swing weight of the Gen 3. It definitely makes a big difference, especially when maneuvering around the kitchen area during games. We think you'll find it enhances your agility and control on the court. Thanks for tuning in, and best of luck if you're entering the giveaway! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3 #hudef
Great review! I’ve been fans of you guys for a while, I love the back conversation style format. I want this paddle because it sounds like a match for my playing style and because it would LOOKS AMAZING.
Thanks so much, @mathewrutledge2922! We're thrilled to hear you enjoy our conversational style and have been following us for a while. It sounds like the Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3 could really complement your style and, absolutely, it would look amazing in action! Best of luck in the giveaway, and thanks for being a part of our community! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3
Good job with the review of one of the more affordable Gen. 3 paddles. I'd love to try the Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3 and experience its' longer dwell time plus the power and spin from its' carbon/Kevlar fusion surface.
Thanks, @jcobs_Im_the_1! We're glad you appreciated the review and the affordability of the Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3. It sounds like you have a keen eye for the technical benefits-longer dwell time, power, and spin are definitely highlights with the carbon/Kevlar fusion. We hope you get the chance to experience it firsthand. Best of luck in the giveaway! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3
It’s not a Gen 3 paddle like the banned Joola’s.
Nice review! You should give this paddle to me as I'm looking to qualify for the Senior Pro Tour and can't do it without the latest & greatest Gen3 paddle!
Hi @quy-le! Thanks for sticking with us for a whole year and for your kind words about our review! It sounds like the Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3 could be a great asset on your journey to the Senior Pro Tour. We've got our fingers crossed for you in the giveaway-hope this paddle helps you smash your way to success! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3
Annika (my wife) and I recently started playing pickleball and we have really enjoyed it! We started with cheap paddles, but the Viva Gen 3 would be an awesome upgrade!!
All the Hudef paddles are really such value for money paddle.. they really make paddles for the everyday player at great prices... all the VIVA pro paddles are really great...
hudefsport.com/collections/pickleball-paddles
Great job guys! I need to jump on the kevlar train!
Hey Josh! Thanks for the shout-out! You’re right, while Kevlar isn’t the revolutionary jump that carbon fiber was, it’s definitely adding some interesting tweaks to paddle technology. It’s great to see you’re keen to explore these new advancements. Good luck in the giveaway-winning the Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3 could be your perfect ticket to trying out the Kevlar-carbon fiber combo and seeing what it adds to your game. Catch you on the courts soon! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3
Another awesome content and review, just ordered last week but got it for $119.00 some reviewers who reviewed the Gen3 got a discount code for 30% off from Hudef, can't wait to play with the Gen 3 soon
I'd love to get to play with a Hudef paddle. Hudef seems to have one of the highest rating/value paddles.
nice review! the surface looks awesome! would love to finally try a kevlar paddle!
Thanks, @bundan5! We're glad the surface of the Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3 caught your eye-it really is something special with that Kevlar face. Trying it out could definitely add a new level of play to your game. Best of luck in the giveaway, and we hope you get to experience it soon! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3
I definitely love my HVPG2, so I love to hear that the 3 seems to be a direct upgrade. Would love to get my hands on one. Thanks for reviewing.
Great review, I have the Viva Pro gen 2 and I really love it, I can’t wait to try this new generation hybrid Kevlar & Carbon paddle.
Thanks for the feedback, @marcossama13! It’s great to hear you've enjoyed the Viva Pro Gen 2. We think you’ll be equally excited about the enhancements in the Gen 3 with its hybrid Kevlar and Carbon Fiber build. It’s seemed to be designed to step up the game with even better control and power. Looking forward to your thoughts on it once you get a chance to try it out! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3 #hudef
Good review. I would love to win this paddle to broaden my exposure to other materials.
Thank you, @dinryu! It's great to hear you're interested in exploring different materials in pickleball paddles. The Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3's combination of Kevlar and carbon fiber could definitely offer a new dimension to your game. We're glad you enjoyed the review and wish you the best of luck in the giveaway! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3
I've lived Kevlar in paddles ever since I bought the original prodrive drive. Looking forward to trying this one out!
It seems Hudef Viva Pro is getting better and better, the only thing concerns me is the swing weight, it could be lowered by making the head more aero curved.
Thanks for your insight, @benwu3150! It’s great to hear that you recognize the improvements in the Hudef Viva Pro series. I believe esp with the Viva Pro Series, every next paddle been an improvememt. Your comment about the swing weight and the potential for a more aerodynamic head design is definitely interesting. Check our paddle matrix on our website. The Mage runs n the lower side of swing weight. www.topickleballandbeyond.com/paddle-metrics
We always appreciate hearing what could make these paddles even better for players like you. Thanks for being part of the conversation and for your continued support! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3 #Hudef
I love your you tube site . Thank you for making choices easier . I would like to have the hudef gen 3 paddle . Unfortunately even though the paddle might be affordable I’m not able to get one . Economical family responsibilities have to come first . I love the sport and I love the hudef company . There products are well made . Please make a pickle ball lover happy . Let there be a Christmas present in April for this player . Thank you .
Hello @alexpazmino4762, thank you for such warm words and for being a part of our RUclips family! We completely understand prioritizing family responsibilities, and it’s wonderful to hear your passion for pickleball and appreciation for Hudef's quality. We're touched by your message and hope this giveaway could be your early Christmas surprise. Best of luck, and keep spreading the love for the sport! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3
I have a viva pro 1 and it's a solid paddle. I stand behind this company. I actually had to use the warranty on the first paddle, and Hudef immediately sent a replacement without any questions asked. I would love to have this paddle because it's time to upgrade from a Gen1 to a Gen3! Thanks for the review!
I put this in a comparative context to the SixZero Ruby Paddle as far as a competitor with Power, Pop and Spin, all of which are criterion critical to my game play. I've been researching Pickleball Paddles for the course of the winter and have evolved from my initial desires for a Selkirk Vanguard Invikta or a Joola Perseus Ben John's to something in the Kevlar equipped area.
both of you continue on making great content and great reviews, I just started playing pickleball this year I'm coming from a tennis background, I both purchased the Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3 and Gen 2 Mage Pro, I can't wait to play with the paddles at the courts and have a blessed, wonderful, positive, productive, peaceful and safe week
Man i want to buy all these new paddles! Love the review. I'm really excited about the elongated paddles like this with decent swing weights and control + a ton of power.
Hey @its_maxbro, welcome to our channel and thanks for subscribing! We're glad you're as excited about these new paddles as we are. The Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3 definitely stands out with its balance of swing weight, control, and power. It sounds like it would be a perfect fit for your energetic play style. Keep that excitement going, and who knows? Maybe you'll win one to add to your collection! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3
Perfect timing! Wanted to check out the Gen 2, but now maybe I'll consider an upgrade to Gen 3 paddle. I have the Viva Pro in 14 mm and 16mm and the Mage, love the paddles, but yes......lacking in power...Thanks for the review and the discount code!
Love the review! I am currently a 3.5 player looking to start playing in some 4.0 tournaments, but have been using the same paddle for almost a year and its age is definitely showing! Would definitely love this paddle (especially as a broke college student).
Thanks for the kind words, @mollymclaughlin2154! It’s great to hear about your progression and ambition to step up to 4.0 tournaments. We totally understand the challenges of balancing sports expenses, especially as a student ( been there). The Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3 could be just the upgrade you need to help elevate your game without breaking the bank. We're rooting for you in the giveaway and plan to have more in the future as our channel grows-so stay tuned! Best of luck, and keep smashing those goals! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3 #Hudef
Never tried a hudef paddle before. sounds like a control oriented version of the gearbox pro power
Thanks for your comment, @coach_Kellem12! It’s always exciting to hear from players who are considering trying new gear. The Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3 does indeed focus on control, but it also brings a unique blend of power and finesse, thanks to its advanced materials like Kevlar and carbon fiber. While it shares some characteristics with the Gearbox Pro Power, the Hudef paddle offers a distinctive experience due to its design and material composition. If you decide to give it a spin, we'd love to hear how it compares and fits into your play style! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3
Nice to see the updates from Hudef! While leaning on the power side, I love the comment about it being just barely. Kevlar surface piece took me by surprise when you shared it!
Nice review, thanks for all the time put into the comparisons!
Love your reviews! Big fan here in Rochester! Your in-depth reviews are awesome and led me to two of my favorite paddles the filth and the J5. Hopefully I’ll get to try this paddle out too!
Are you in Rochester MN… very nice… I love the J5… would love to meet the follow J5 fan… ( Honolulu pickleball company has a great collection - soon realizing a review with some of their give away too… ) ..
@@VinoRajshelumiel yes I am in Rochester MN. The J5 is my main now and I love it. Would definitely want to meet and discuss the paddle! The Honolulu pickleball company is amazing and look forward to more reviews of them from you guys!
I bought a GEN2 after a bit of research to upgrade from my beginner paddle. Noticed a big difference in my game and confidence. Been playing one year now thinking I would like a bit more control and spin to go along with the power. Feel free to give up thet paddle to me ✌️
Love the spin potential and power from the kevlar weave!
Would love to try the combination of spin and control with some decent power and pop. . Thanks for the review.
Im ready to upgrade from viva pro gen 2 to gen 3! Gotta see what these kevlar paddles are all about.
Thanks for your review guys!! Very thorough and informative! I would enjoy getting this paddle for its power and being elongated! I don’t have anything like this and feel it could improve certain parts of my game!! Thank you!!
Thank you, @John-cs1cj! We're thrilled that you found the review thorough and informative. Always appreciate the feedback from our subscribers. The unique power and elongated design of the Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3 could definitely be a great addition to enhance your game. We appreciate your enthusiasm and hope you get the chance to experience this paddle soon. Best of luck in the giveaway! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3
@@topickleballandbeyond Thank you!! 😊
I love this paddle and you guys made me love it more. Betting on myself to win the giveaway. Thanks
This sounds like a great paddle! I've been curious about Hudef since the Gen1. Money has been tight but I would absolutely LOVE to show up on the courts here with this paddle- the specs sound like it's a perfect fit for me:) Thanks for the awesome review!
I've been looking to try a Kevlar paddle and this might be the one I take a chance on. Great review
Thanks, @danpodina438! If you're considering diving into the world of Kevlar paddles, the Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3 is definitely a great choice to start with. Its combination of Kevlar and carbon fiber offers a unique blend of power and control that we think you’ll appreciate. We're excited for you to experience the difference and hear your thoughts! Best of luck if you decide to go for it! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3 #Hudef
Great review. I've been curious about this paddle and find it really intriguing!
Great looking paddle and would love to try out the Kevlar to see how it plays!
It sounds like this really is just a standard Gen 2 paddle. Whats new to Hudef is perimeter foam and handle foam. But all the new Gen 3 paddles have some sort of foam support in addition to the standard industry edge foam. Having not played with it yet, this is clearly from my perspective.
Hey @shelbylangston329! It’s great to hear your insights, and you’re spot on with noticing the nuanced upgrades! While the Gen 3 might seem like a subtle evolution rather than a revolution from the Gen 2, the advanced thermoforming technology and the combination of DuPont raw Kevlar with T700 raw carbon fiber indeed set it apart. This tech isn't just about adding foam; it's about enhancing overall stability and comfort-something anyone with tennis elbow would surely appreciate. We think once you try it, you’ll feel the difference that might not be immediately obvious from the outside. It's kind of like upgrading from a comfy sofa to a comfier one with massage features-you know it when you feel it! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3
Nice review. Looks like an interesting paddle. Thanks!
Thanks for the comment and for subscribing, @jps99jps99utube! We're glad you found the review interesting. The Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3 indeed offers some unique features that make it a standout choice.

Great video as always fellas!
Would love this paddle as I’m newer to the game with a tennis background looking to upgrade my Amazon paddle as I spend more hours on the courts!
Thank you, @12TrelPrime! It’s fantastic to hear from new players with a passion for getting into pickleball, especially those transitioning from other racquet sports like tennis. The Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3 would definitely be a significant upgrade from a basic Amazon paddle, offering you enhanced control and power that could really complement your tennis skills. We're excited for you to dive deeper into pickleball and hope this paddle helps elevate your game as you spend more time on the courts! Best of luck in the giveaway! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3
Yoooo sick review boys, Hudef more like WhoDaEf isn't watching these reviews amirite? 😏😏
Heard about Hudef and would love to try it out! Thanks for the review
Looks like a great playing paddle. Would love to get this Gen 3 paddle!
Hey! Congratulations Darren! Please check out our video announcing you as the winner for details on how to claim your Hudef Gen 3b 😃
Good review, I have been eyes a hudef and this review made me look at it differently.
What a great looking paddle. I like the simple graphics design. Thanks for reviewing.
Great review. Love the gen 2. Hope to win the gen 3!
Hudef paddles have been on my radar for awhile. This looks like a great paddle.
Great review! I am really wanting that Gen 2 but that swing weight on the Gen 3 would be better for my play. Not a huge difference in the weight, but I think that would help with forearms/elbow becoming more sore. In the mean time, I think I will continue to work on my strength training. Thanks again!
Thanks for the feedback, @mehringermr! It's great to hear that you're considering how the swing weight of the Gen 3 could benefit your playstyle, especially in supporting arm and elbow health. Strength training is definitely a good complement to your playing strategy. We appreciate your enthusiasm and detailed approach to improving your game. Good luck with both your training and the giveaway! 🏓 #ToPickleballAndBeyond #HudefVivaProGen3
Awesome review. Played with the gen2, it was little too head heavy, this one might be just right!

It's great to hear your perspective on the Gen 2, and we think you'll find the balance of the Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3 more to your liking.

This is definitely going to be my next paddle! I’ve played with both the 1.0 and the 2.0 so I’m excited they are producing a 3rd upgrade to the line up!
I’m a big review watcher so thank you for your opinions on the new 3.0!
If I win the giveaway definitely be expecting a shoutout!
Whoa, I just heard they were comming out with a kevlar last week only.
Seems the price point is not far from the sword & shield j2k range but their lifetime warranty really instill confidence with their product/
I do like what I see on the edge guard for this Hudef one.
I tried the J2K and that seems like a dust magnet and takes some time for the eraser to work on it after play.
Hope the dust comes of easier on this one.
I heard you guys said the reset with this one is good and I think I'd like that part.
I want this kevlar surface Hudef Via Gen 3 paddle to replace my Vatic Pro Flash.
Thank you for the great review! I have the Gen 2, would love fhe Gen 3!!
Great review. I'm using a gen 1 paddle. I'm in Vietnam and I'm hoping to get my hands on this one.
Thanks for the review! I would love to gift my brother this paddle for his birthday.
I just recently discovered the sport and my first and only paddle is the hudef apex pro, I've been wanting to get an upgrade and here I'm taking my shot at it😂 hope I win.
Welcome to the pickleball community, @Josedanpep! It’s great to hear you started your journey with the Hudef Apex Pro-what a solid choice for a first paddle!

Hi from Sri Lanka,
Amazing review @Pickleball and Beyond. As the sport is just growing here, it would be an awesome opportunity to experience what #Hudef has to offer with the new paddle
I would like to try this paddle! It sounds fun, I just saw your J2k review and I'm thinking about buying that one, this could be a good next paddle for when I want a bit more power and have figured out how to spin and keep the ball lower on drives and resets.
I would love to get this paddle. I’m currently using a copy Kevlar paddle and would like to have a name brand! Haha
Great video. Sounds like an awesome paddle. Would love to win it!
Awesome! I would love it because I’m a paddle addict😂
hahaha - 🤪@stephanieswicklik7893, I second that! An addict recognizes another, Stephanie! 😂 Looking forward to seeing if the Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3 can fuel your addiction with its standout performance.

We have just started playing srilanka and would love to experience this kind of paddle
Keep hearing more and more good things from this company, thx for the review
I really do enjoy my Viva pro Gen 2. Plenty of power for driving and serving. Ive been awaiting to see if Hudef came out with their version of the Kevlar and carbon paddle. I tried a lot of paddles and have not seen any reason to upgrade the Viva pro Gen 2. ...until this Gen 3 has come out of course...More Spin and Control? where do I sign? Great review guys! 👏
Thanks a lot, @swiftraider759! It looks like you've been perfectly happy with the Viva Pro Gen 2-until now, that is! wink wink... The Gen 3 is stepping into the ring like the latest upgrade in a blockbuster franchise, bringing more spin, more control, and yes, that Kevlar-carbon charm! Where do you sign up? Right here at the "I Need That Gen 3 Club"! We're thrilled you enjoyed the review and can't wait to hear how the Gen 3 transforms your game.

Thank you, @raleighbartholomew4186! Kevlar is certainly starting to show promise in pickleball paddles, especially when combined with materials like carbon fiber to enhance performance.

thanks for the great review! the new viva looks really fun to play with. i would like for you guys to give me the paddle because i love pickleball as much as anything and feel like my amazon paddle is holding me back a bit. i live in indiana and make minumum wage (7.25/hr) which is tied for the lowest in the country. I have also gotten my family into pickleball and if for some reason i didnt like the paddle or it didnt click with me i would give it to my mom for mothers day or my dad for fathers day.

Looking forward to the touch on my drops.
I would love to see how this compares to the bread and butter shogun paddle because I loved my hudef gen 2 and the gen 3 might be a good pick. I just ordered the Shogun so we'll see.
Awesome review.

thanks for the information
Does the Gen 3 have the same strengthening plate like the Gen 2 under the carbon/Kevlar face?
Why give this paddle to me? Personally game is evolving and would be a good transition to power as I am okay with control butt struggle generating power on drives and serves. I’ll keep working on technique but the paddle will help ;)
Giveaway! Just entered the pickle ball world and I think this paddle would be a great fit for me love the videos
I'd want the Gen 3 because of the lower swing weight compared to the Gen 2. I like the Gen 2's power, but it feels slow at the net.
I like playing with paddles from smaller companies that come out with good products at affordable prices. The big boys simply charge too much for not that much better performance.
Why should I get the Viva Gen 3 paddle? I have a vanguard power air that has been working for a while but I’m in need of a true power paddle. So my friend and play often and we both advanced level pickleball players who play singles. He recently changed to a better paddle and I’m getting beat up easily. I need a power paddle to save energy and strategically pushed him. How I know? I tried someone’s paddle CBR 1x and it was fast. Oh boy! I’m searching for a power paddle. Give this to me 😁👍
