The Arete has the best swing weight for me, would like to test hit this as the shape is so unique. Kudos to Ethos for being creatively practical in their shapes
There are some great local players in my area using all three of these paddles. I have never used one, but would love to check out the Arete. Keep up the good work!
Kind of torn between the Telos and Arete but probably Arete! Although I wish the Arete it has Telos's option for a 4.5in grip circumference, that's a big selling point for me. I'm curious if the spin, swing + twist weight are similar to the Arete, I didn't seem to see it.
I really love the companies with innovations, definitely want to try the Arete. The swing weight 116 is higher than I expected since it's more aerodynamic than most of the paddles. Long handle hurts maneuverability, I'm OK with 5.5" handle, adding 0.5" length to the paddle surface might increase the twist weight from 5.75 to maybe 6?
I think it really varies with how it’s being used. Its play/touch & feel varies a lot more between paddles/brands than raw carbon fiber IMO. Check out my review of the Kinetic or the Body Helix X3 if you want to hear me ramble some more about it!
I have the Arete and it's a great control paddle. Every time I take it out of the bag, people are asking about it so great conversation piece. Super fast and plays well at the net. The shape looks small but it has never been an issue for me. As the Arete is always in my bag, making a 14mm version available and offering more pop would be a slam dunk for me. That's just a personal preference as I play with power paddles. But until then, I appreciate the uniqueness and think its a great paddle to have or at least try out. This is the one paddle that I will hold onto for the long term. I'm a fan :)

The arete looks seriously fun and technical! Would love to try it!
This paddle looks fun to try. A Katana Pro review could be cool
Very good review. I look forward to following your channel. Keep up the good work! (And I think the Arete is paddle to get).
Thank you!
Arete sounds good! I can’t find the edge tape you were talking about online though
Didn’t realize it wasn’t listed! Just spoke to the owner, and he said the tape will be on the site soon. It’s good stuff, so def keep an eye out!
I think I would like the Scoria the best, but I would love to try out the Arete to see if I could work it like a pro!
Thank for the review. I’ve really been curious about the Arete and Ethos Paddles
Thank you for the content and giveaway! I'd love to be able to try the new shape design of the Arete paddle!
I would go with the Scoria because the shape is similar to the paddle I’m currently using.
Would love to win the Scoria! Looks like it'd fit my play style well.
The Arete has the best swing weight for me, would like to test hit this as the shape is so unique. Kudos to Ethos for being creatively practical in their shapes
With that shape, Arete exotes me the most.
I won the raffle! Big thanks to @MatthewkPickleball and Ethos!
Congratulations again! 🥳🥳🥳
I think I’d like to try the Arete! The paddle shape is so unique and I’m interested to see how it would affect my gameplay.
Arete is a really interesting looking paddle, hope it's not just a gimmick.
Reminds me of the sweet spot trainer paddles just a little bit bigger. Definitely would be a cool paddle to have in the bag.
Def has some similarities, but this one has a much firmer feel when you hit in addition to having a beefier face.
There are some great local players in my area using all three of these paddles. I have never used one, but would love to check out the Arete. Keep up the good work!
Arete looks like the one to try
I really would like to try the Arete!
Definitely want to try the Arete! I bet my group would also love to check it out.
Would love to try the arete
The Telos would be my option.
Kind of torn between the Telos and Arete but probably Arete! Although I wish the Arete it has Telos's option for a 4.5in grip circumference, that's a big selling point for me.

I don’t have those stats! Sorry! As for the grip, an overgrip will get you close to the 4.5. But I feel ya… love beefier handles as well!
Arete for the win!

I am most curious about the Arete. Started playing 4 months ago and happy I made the decision.
What’s the core material made of?
I believe it’s a traditional polypropylene core!
Arete is the one I'd like to try
Arete would by my choice
Would give Arete a try
I love the spin and power specs of the Arete as well as the coral color option
Maybe the Arete
Definitely want to try that Arete! Super different and I bet it's a lot of fun.
Telos. But it would be interesting to do a 1to1 comparison between the Telos and Arate. My skill level would probably say Scoria. 😅
like Arete, good looking.
I'd love to have the Arete, the unique shape is eye-catching and would be a great paddle to start a conversation with.
Arete is my pick… but they all sound pretty great, especially having one under $100!
I would love to try the Arete! I’m sure my club would also love to check it out.
I like the Arete for the uniqueness. I'm glad to see a company using different molds
the arete looks fun to try!
Would love to have the Arete, unique shape is interesting to use
The arete looks so unique and fun!
Arete! Praying that I win 😅😊
Interesting paddles but think I would go with the Scoria
Congratulations!!! You won the Ethos raffle! Please check your email, so I can get the paddle to you! 🥳🥳🥳
How do you feel about Kevlar
I think it really varies with how it’s being used. Its play/touch & feel varies a lot more between paddles/brands than raw carbon fiber IMO. Check out my review of the Kinetic or the Body Helix X3 if you want to hear me ramble some more about it!
scoria---for the high twist weight, the last thing I need is a small sweet spot though I like the idea for people who are experienced
Arete looks interesting! Thanks!
Very interesting. Arete would be cool to try
Arete 👍

That’s awesome to hear! I think a 13 or 14 mm version would be awesome as well!
Arete!!
The telos has an interesting design
The Arete. Thanks!
arete!

Absolutely that arete
I'm a fan of the Scoria!
Definitely the Arete!
