As an inventive person. I thought of this screw weight idea a while back. However my concept had the screws at other locations, not just the bottom. Another concern I had with this concept, is that the vibration of hitting may cause the screws the loosen and fly out. This could be a liability issue. I decided that the idea was overkill.
I mean this what Adidas did with their Padel Racket; so I'm interested to get my hands on one and try it out. Maybe after you put the bolts on the right spots, you put Edge Guard over it so that way it just sticks there.
@halohawkxx The neck of this paddle looks like a padle paddle. I think they repurposed their padel parts to save on development cost. They should have counter-sunk the screws for a clean look.
Now my thing is, and i dont thin Adias has gotten back to me yet. But because they have their Padel Racket version out there, i wanna know if we can use those Bolts for the Metalbone Pickleball Paddle as well. They weigh more as well, so it'll be interesting if that is a possibility.
The luxx is way more of a control paddle. I honestly don’t know what this guy is smoking, this isn’t plush at all. I would definitely consider this paddle an all court, slightly leaning to power paddle. It has tons of pop…
2.6 g is not 0.1 oz ...it is .09 oz The bolt system only allows adding .36oz total. What is unclear is the weight the paddle comes, without the bolts. One must assume that the 7.8oz-8.2oz advertised reflects all bolts out - and all bolts in range. IMO, Adidas should have made adding more weight possible, if they went to all this engineering trouble in the first place. At least make adding another 0.6oz possible, with the bolt system.
Did you actually like this paddle or did adidas pay for a good review ? Only reason I ask is literally every other review on RUclips hates it.. I just got one yesterday in a trade brand new so ik super hesitant to even bother playing with it
This is gimmicky simply because no matter how you adjust the nuts, it is just making it handle-heavy regardless. They should have had multiple areas to add the nuts just as players already do with lead tape.

I would worry too, but honestly, I would assume anybody who doesn’t tighten them or plan ahead are just dumb lol
@@zeruth467I hear ya. People do all types of dumb stuff. 😂

Also, if you're in a kitchen exchange and one of the bolts comes off and lands in the kitchen, it's a fault.

Sorry do you know how to clean this paddle?
So how is this control paddle compared to the Luxx?

So how does it play w/all the bolts out?
I imagine it would just play normal at its factory weight
Bought it. I'm a sucker for edgeless paddles. IDGAF
Pickleball is America's fastest-growing sport and we like it #Pickleball
Foam core, is this approved for tournament play?
Any material can be legal, if it passes the USAPA testing (namely deflection).

Rafa Hewett plays TERRIIBBLLYY with it! It looks like it doesn't have any grip on the ball when he plays.

Screws not bolts
It also sounds like it's made of teak wood. Davis trying not to cringe in the summary.
Not USAP approved. No tournaments.
says it right on the paddle
It's legal. There's no rule against foam, as long as it passes deflection tests.

TIL 5.5" is extra long, nice
c18 and not t700 please lol. might as well throw your money down the drain
so wrong on this
@@maxwellsimpson3486 don't listen to this jabroni y'all
Sooo.. Not legal
It’s approved. Rafa is using it right now in Nationals.
