Thank you so much for this review. I just wanted to tell you that I was at an engage camp last week. We were told about these paddles coming out and one of the guys there said “I’ll wait until after the pb studio review first”
Absolutely love Engage and the Elliott's. The fact all the paddles are handmade, the customer service has always been phenomenal, they put a lot of love into their brand.
I was anxiously awaiting this review. Actually wondered why Engage felt the need to come out with another top tier model after their Pursuit PRO had been given great reviews. Really enjoying my Engage Pursuit Pro MX 6.0! Thanks for the terrific reviews, you are my go to RUclipsr on paddle reviews!❤️
Engage has great discounts for Veterans
Thank you for your sharing, which makes me eager to try the new products of ENGAGE!
I have both Pursuit Pro MX 6.0 and the MX and love them. Gonna stick with them. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us, Chris.
First review!!! Good job! Sticking with my pursuit pro and getting another
Love the review, would be super cool to have a review schedule so we can predict what you'll be covering next. Doesn't need to include dates just want to watch your reviews before buying a new paddle I'm thinking about
I love the Pro and just got the Pro1. They offer a phenomenal military discount.
This review video is awsome, love your sharing!Look forward to more reviews of a mass of upcoming new paddles!
I play the ruby at 8.3 and the gearbox pro power and I'm in Florida on vacation, so I stopped by and hit the 14MM Pro1 both at 7.8 oz and loved it. Bought 2. Fast then the ruby at 8.3Oz and just as much control. Sweetspot is smaller, but power, pop and control is there. I don't feel weak in the handle, so I understand what chris is saying, but the paddle was great for my game and I play 5.0 doubles and singles. Paddle works for both.
Are these a lot poppier and harder to reset with compared to the DBD 16 (supposed to be similar to Ruby)? I’m right at 4.0 and test drove the Pursuit Pro EX and EX 6.0 for two weeks, but kept popping up resets. I ended up going back to the DBD 16 and am happy resetting with that.
I’ve been leaning toward the Black Diamond Infinity for similar control to, but faster hands than DBD. But the Pro1 6.0 would be more power/pop, elongated shape over my DBD.
Maybe I just need the elongated DBD/BD if and when they come out. 😂
Thank you for the great review!
Thanks for the review.
Nice review I think it hits what the Pro 1 is. Disappointed that your Joola reviews got pushed back hopefully not too far. Really looking forward to all the upcoming content.
This sounds very interesting in that a somewhat power paddle with control. The rush to power isn’t an end all and be all. With power comes lack of control. I’ve always had a hard time with engage edge guards breaking so I left them as it was a pain. Not sure if the matte edge guard solved that major issue.
I love that the swing weights are so low!
I drank the Kool-Aid and pre ordered one, God help me. I think I'll call tomorrow and pre return it. I currently play with the Pursuit Pro MX 6.0 but, I had to totally rework it. Added lead to all 4 corners and lots more to the sides to get the stability and power I wanted. It's up around 9 oz now. Took the cushined grip tape off, it just felt too mushy. The side plates were this cheap thin plastic package strapping so I cut some 1/32" birch plywood to fit and glued it on with RC 56 glue. The handle was too big and rounded so I sanded down the balsa for an octagon shape. Now I can index it by feel and the Yonnex super grap tape gives it a solid, more connected feel and the size is just right 4.25". Now it's something I would take to a serious game but it's been scheduled to be beat to death on my ball machine because my Legacy Pro is still better.
I bought the pro 6.0 and hate the handle, otherwise I liked the paddle. Gave up on it because of the grip. Have the Ruby, BD, DBD, and Hurache X, so can’t bring myself to spend $260 for a better grip. Probably going to wait for the new Joola before I make future purchasing decisions on a power paddle. Appreciate your review, thanks!
Would love a video that quickly compares all the Engage paddles, I'm super confused between the difference of all their paddles. Pro1, EX, MX, 6.0, Pro what?!
EX - standard shape
MX - elongated shape
6.0 - 16mm thickness
Non 6.0 - 13mm thickness
Pursuit Pro line came out first and then Pro1 line came out. Different core. Grip size, length, swing weight and edge guard also changed between the two lines.
It's odd that it's not technically out yet, at PPA North Carolina at the PB Central booth you could just as easily buy one
A lot went into this review and I felt that you really tried to give this paddle a chance to shine. But, sometimes facts are facts. In this Era of Paddles, it has been overshadowed.
Engage is blowing it!
Thanks for the review. How long is the handle!grip?
The new Joolas sound too advanced for me and take awhile to tame. The Gearbox Power I own but I’m not very happy with the control. I think the Engage may be a step back in power but the swing weight will be easy on my elbow and I’ll get more control perhaps.
Was waiting for this review - I love my Pursuit Pro 6.0. Great feel, power, control, spin. If it ain’t broke why try and reinvent it??!!
Wondering if you have ever hit with the coretek alpha paddle? Would love to know what you think? Cheers from the United Kingdom for all the reviews.
I’ve been playing with a Vatic Pro Flash 16 mm for exactly a year now. I’ve won a couple 3.0 tournaments with it and love the paddle still but I want something new to replenish grit and hopefully get a longer grip. Maybe an elongated also. Do you have any recommendations that come to mind quick?
Can you please review the new Friday Pickleball Challenger paddle (their new carbon fiber paddle)? 2 for $150 seems like an insane deal for the product described! T700 carbon fiber face, unibody design, and foam-injected walls and handle. Seems too good to be true.
Are these a lot poppier and harder to reset with compared to the DBD 16? I test drove the Pursuit Pro EX and EX 6.0 for two weeks, but kept popping up resets. I ended up going back to the DBD 16 and am happy resetting with that.
I like this shape and swing weight, so maybe I just need the elongated DBD/BD if and when they come out 😂
Hey, Chris your thoughts on a comparison between Selkirk new vantage control vs engage pro 1. Similar or different?
Do you think that with this new power core technology it needs to be “broken” in like the Gearbox?
I have a question, Johnkew Pickleball's video mentioned it is a wide body,while you think it is elongated.As a beginner ,I need help there🤓
When you talk about the edge guard makes me wonder if you ever played with this paddles at all, the purpose of the glossy one, they don’t get the ugly scratches when they touch the court surface, when this happened to me the glossy comes off you wipe it and the paddle looks like you never scratch or touch the ground, looks like brand new again I just wonder 💭 for how long the gloss last I don’t even want to find out … scratch yours, wipe and see
Are you going to to review the Mach 2 forza soon? 😬
I have a video that I'm planning to do with it, but timeline not known. Lots of stuff coming, hard to figure out the order.
It's a great paddle though. Does a lot of things really well. More control oriented.
They need better graphics, I hear good things about the performance but the crosshairs and mismatched fonts look cheap
Are you going to review the ALW new bantam 12 and 14mm? I didn’t think pickleball effect had a good take and didn’t provide any substantial info. I feel as if you would do a far better job
Did the added weight make it feel less “cheap” or up the power above its predecessor? Did you weight it similar to your Thrive fitted paddle?
A bit more lead than what I put on the Thrive.
Adding lead did make it feel more solid overall. Still not as good of a feel as the old ones (in my opinion) but that's largely personal preference. There are probably a lot of people would prefer the more plush feel of the new Pro1.
@PickleballStudio In my opinion, the old ones have too much power, considering the swing weights. The high swing weights of the old ones make it difficult to fully capitalize on their power.
Also the game is getting a lot faster at the net. The old versions are not that quick at the net. Hopefully, the newer versions have solved this.
I really wish ENGAGE had a better looking design~
Your coupon code was not accepted on the engage site.
Didn’t work today for me either.
Is there a reason your discount code doesn’t work on this one?
Later after releasing the video, Engage has decided to not allow discount codes on their premium paddles.
Great paddle and if someone wants to save 20% let me know!!
Under 10 sec gang

You guys should really review the GoSports GS40 pickleball! Not too many reviews on it but I love it and think it’s better than an X40
New video idea. Reviewing/cutting open temu dupes or other paddles from weird sellers like temu.
Your code doesn't work
Engage recently decided to not allow codes anymore.
Skip
Yet again, another manufacturer making core claims without the specs, just catchy names for marketing. Cell wall thickness and cell diameters are never mentioned.
its so sad that your reviews literally make or break if i buy a paddle. Currently play the Pursuit Pro MX and was super excited to get this paddle and now im like hell no im just gonna stick with my pursuit pro.
Never buying this paddle lol
Paddle naming convention is awful. I need a flowchart to understand engage and vatic
They should move to a consecutive descriptor naming convention. So it will sound like a mental acuity test and we can have the Pizza Peel-Marshmallow-Gecko foot-Rasputin 16.
Engage has really fallen off over the last couple of years. $260 for that paddle?! Absolutely not. 👎
They have a lot of discount codes for 20% to 30% off
nah their last release was very popular. before the pro model I would have agreed. people love that paddle
@@thomasbottorff9324 Have not seen 30% off except BF or some rare special offer, but lots of 20% off
@@thomasbottorff9324 one time use.
You must not have played with any of their recent paddles. The Pursuit Pro is easily a top 5 or 10 paddle. I don’t think any paddle is worth $260 but you can easily find a discount to bring it down. It’s definitely worth $200.
code doesnt work
this paddle still sucks lol
This sounds like garbage
