Make more videos like this! We get it takes a really long time and work to make a full featured dedicated review video for one paddle, so making content like this is the way to go right now given how many paddles there are and are coming that we all are itching to see and hear about 😊. Awesome video Will!
That vauraus paddle sounds great. I have watched a few reviews and saw cliffs team play with it. Everyone seems to like it. I think I might try it as my 1st bought paddle as the ppl who talk about it say the same thing, good control, lightweight, no added power but solid for all levels. Sounds perfect for me as someone who wants more control over power.
Can you add the CRBN concept paddle specs to Pickleball Studios chart so we can see specs (and if we like them pressure the company to release a new paddle)?
I upgraded to a CX14 Ultimate and just as of 2 days ago switched to a new Thrive paddle but dang it i wont be able to stop myself from buying the new gearbox either lol
Oh no! Just when I thought I was ready to buy a certain new paddle, your review comes out with even more new ones and so now I'm so CONFUSED on which one to buy! You didn't actually rate them so I'm waiting for more reviews from you with more detail about these paddles to help me decide which ONE is the ONE!
Thank you for all the great info . I’ve been doing some research on these before I saw your vid and you are right on the money with these paddles . Just like you said some of these paddles have a lifetime warranty . Amazing . At a great price too . Thank you . Keep up the good work
The glossy edge guard from engage it’s actually nice to have ! When you scratch your paddle with the ground court you just wipe with your hands and looks like new again like you never scratch your paddle with the ground I think that’s genius not like other paddles you scratch and that’s it it’s there permanently
@@PickleballWill Awsome, when will Selkirk let you post it, do you have to wait until the offical launch on the 25th or can people review it now it is out for labs members? I currently play with a 003 and love it. I wanted to know how difrent(improved) it is compared to the 003!
Last paddle looked like a filth which is my current favorite. I got the hudef viva pro 2. I like it. Have you played with a Neonic? STS pickleball gave it great review for $90.
Love the new gearbox should have my review posted by late this evening. Luxx and CRBN concepts are also awesome. Those 3 are in a tier of their own and I think the gearbox pro and crbn concept are in a different league. Gearbox overall the best. Concept best spin and shaping of ball. Luxx has best control
A lot to take in. Just re-ordered the Black Diamond again. Due to tournaments coming. Will have this video on repeat when I go to sleep. For digestion purposes….not sleep. And mental digestion….not because I’m constipated from my wife’s Thai food…😂😂😂
14mm, grit will eventually come off but I dont think thats a risk within its warranty period (1 year). RPM supposedly 2000-2100 in other influencer videos. Im personally waiting for CRBN next paddle as I currently have a 2x and am somewhat of a brand loyalist.
Thanks for the content Will! Which of these paddles do you think would be best for singles? Looking for something to complement my Rhombus Pulsar with more power/pop. I’m guessing the Carbon
I currently have the Joola Scorpeus but its nearing end of life on spin and looking to buy in a month or so. Would you recommend waiting it out? And if so would you recommend anything similar but just with more spin/power on drive or even just better control/feel overall? (I know this is subjective but could use opinions)
I'd wait it out a bit. There's a few paddles might be worth checking out like that new Gearbox for power. New shape for pickleballapes might be a contender for feel. If you are looking for a bit more power on the drives I think that Engage pursuit MX 6.0 and the Hudef Viva 2 are up there along with the Vatic Prism V7. Overall performance I might go with the new Luxx Control Air
I googled the vauraus paddle and watched the hype vid. I like cliff a lot but i couldn't stop thinking about "the perfect blend of power and control". I'm excited about that one but is it anything that isn't already out there? I want to try the Luxx; I have a bad feeling selkirk is going to make it like $250 which is out of the budget. Companies seemed to have dialed into the best bang-for-buck mid-priced paddles ($100-180) but apparently there is still a market for $250 paddles(?)
The Vauraus isn't anything you haven't already seen but it is elongated and has a fairly low swing weight which is rare to find. Def still a market for higher priced paddles but as of right now you aren't missing much by getting the best for buck middle priced paddles out there.
You ever play with a Proton paddle? Been curious about those since I saw Andre Daescu win MPL with one. I found zero reviews on youtube about those paddles and no public reviews shown on their website. Wonder if they could send you a few for free to review.
Between the Selkirk control air, engage pursuit MX 6.0, and the new gearbox how would you rank them? I like the Selkirk look and control aspect but price is also much more..
Still can’t get the Engage Pursuit Pro in Australia. 😢 The pros here are using them. Why Engage? Why????? And as Will said….the muted old colours were class. Maybe red instead of white????
My friends all call me a power player, but I would love a bit more control in my play style do you think getting the Luxx would be a good choice for me, also the color scheme is PERFECT
Towards the end of Pickleball Studios’ Oya review he mentions Pickleball Apes so I asked him if he was going to do a review. He replied he’ll do one when their Hybrid paddle releases.
@@WilkesFamilyPB I’m very happy with my Apes paddle. It’s definitely a Power paddle. The pop it has makes punch volleys effortless! As long as you can control the Ape it’s a banger’s dream!
Unfortunately I haven’t had a chance to play with the new hybrid model but I currently love this elongated version and have heard good things about the hybrid model
No where is selling that Selkirk luxx control air. The one they sell has a different design than the one you show in video. Also your links are showing different paddle.
@@PickleballWillnobody seems interested in reviewing the Loco...do you think you'll be giving it a try? Been torn between that and the Pro-Line Energy S

C’mon CRBN, make it happen. So stoked with the 1x 16mm but a freshie from my favorite paddle company would be epic! Great content 👍🏽
Or a power series paddle from CRBN shaped like a DBD or R1 Pulsar
That vauraus paddle sounds great. I have watched a few reviews and saw cliffs team play with it. Everyone seems to like it. I think I might try it as my 1st bought paddle as the ppl who talk about it say the same thing, good control, lightweight, no added power but solid for all levels. Sounds perfect for me as someone who wants more control over power.
Definitely a solid control oriented paddle
Can you add the CRBN concept paddle specs to Pickleball Studios chart so we can see specs (and if we like them pressure the company to release a new paddle)?
Having moved on from the CX14H. I’m looking forward to trying the new Gearbox paddles. Currently playing with Vatic Pro Flash 16mm
Sold my CX14 but the Flash 16mm is still with me. Also real curious about the new line frim GB.
I upgraded to a CX14 Ultimate and just as of 2 days ago switched to a new Thrive paddle but dang it i wont be able to stop myself from buying the new gearbox either lol

Great video, Will - it reminds me a lot of our call the other day!
The Gearbox Pros arrived. Agree they are 🔥🔥
Right on!
Whats the favorite the Power or Control elongated?
The glossy edge guard from engage it’s actually nice to have ! When you scratch your paddle with the ground court you just wipe with your hands and looks like new again like you never scratch your paddle with the ground I think that’s genius not like other paddles you scratch and that’s it it’s there permanently
you like the new crbn or gearbox paddle better?
That’s a tough one i could either way but if I had to choose probably the CRBN concept
Gearbox or Selkirk then for second place? (No, I’m not an HR spy for Selkirk. 😂)
@@PickleballWillhow do you compare the CRBN concept with the Double black diamond
New gearbox paddles!?
Agree with you on a moderately heavy paddle with low swing weight, out of all the paddles mentioned which one closely resembles this.
So many good and interesting paddles! Picking the next paddle has all the sudden become that much harder...
Paddle junkies eating good at the tail end of 2023.
Hey, great video like always. I was wondeing if you are planning on posting a review of the selkirk luxx control air?
Yes I do plan on reviewing the control air
@@PickleballWill Awsome, when will Selkirk let you post it, do you have to wait until the offical launch on the 25th or can people review it now it is out for labs members? I currently play with a 003 and love it. I wanted to know how difrent(improved) it is compared to the 003!
@RTNalpha you will have to wait til after the release date
@@PickleballWill Okay, thank you, I look forward to it and seeing your channel grow, you deserve all the subs!!
How do you just sneak that crbn in at the end and not say more?!
NDAs man
Can you do a review on the new body helix paddles? I’ve heard they are very good .
All the Engage pro's use the thinner mx not the 6.0. There must be a reason for this?
Can you give more details on the Control Air? Cause I know that one is still not out but wanted to hear more from it.
Also would like to know more about it
Won't hear more about it til middle of the month
Last paddle looked like a filth which is my current favorite. I got the hudef viva pro 2. I like it. Have you played with a Neonic? STS pickleball gave it great review for $90.
Haven’t had a chance with the Neonic
I love the Filth, waiting for B&Bs new paddle before I buy a new one, but the Apes and Neonic are on top of my list.
Will, do you like the new Gearbox paddles what do you like more about the Luxx and CRBN concept?
Love the new gearbox should have my review posted by late this evening. Luxx and CRBN concepts are also awesome. Those 3 are in a tier of their own and I think the gearbox pro and crbn concept are in a different league. Gearbox overall the best. Concept best spin and shaping of ball. Luxx has best control
What is thicknesses of that CRBN
Do you normally mess around with lead tape on these paddles?
How is Luxx different from 003 and how better is the CRBN from the DBD!
Have you used the Neonic yet? If so, any opinions on it? Just bought it off the STSPICKLEBALL review so I have high hopes
Haven't used that one yet. Hope it works out for ya!
Can't wait to hear what you think.
How does the Neonic play?
A lot to take in. Just re-ordered the Black Diamond again. Due to tournaments coming. Will have this video on repeat when I go to sleep. For digestion purposes….not sleep. And mental digestion….not because I’m constipated from my wife’s Thai food…😂😂😂
I wanna learn more about the Gearbox paddles. what's the thickness and the RPM (spin) numbers? does the grit on the face wear off?
14mm, grit will eventually come off but I dont think thats a risk within its warranty period (1 year). RPM supposedly 2000-2100 in other influencer videos. Im personally waiting for CRBN next paddle as I currently have a 2x and am somewhat of a brand loyalist.
Good video as always man!!
Farmer Lanky my man! 🙏
How do you get all of your paddles?
Subscribed!! Well done!
If I didn't find enough control with the Legacy Pro, is the Gearbox Pro worth looking into? If so, I'm guessing the Control version.
Yes
Thanks for the content Will! Which of these paddles do you think would be best for singles? Looking for something to complement my Rhombus Pulsar with more power/pop. I’m guessing the Carbon
Yea that engage pursuit pro or the CRBN would probably be best. Although I don't know when this CRBN concept paddle is going to be out
First part of next year
Is the Cliff Pickleball paddle available to purchase?
Not yet. I believe the site should be up sometime soon
@zachcarmichael699, the paddle will be available to purchase on October 15th 😊
For how much$??@@CliffPickleball
I currently have the Joola Scorpeus but its nearing end of life on spin and looking to buy in a month or so. Would you recommend waiting it out?

Overall performance I might go with the new Luxx Control Air
When is that new Crbn releasing? Any news on it?
Don’t think you are going to see it til Spring
I wanna hear more about that control air
I need to see a review on the encounter
That Prodrive and that LUXX. 🤤

Gearbox, Selkirk, engage. And they are all around the same price range
Luxx Control Air is less expensive than the MX 6.0
Still can’t get the Engage Pursuit Pro in Australia. 😢
The pros here are using them. Why Engage? Why?????
And as Will said….the muted old colours were class. Maybe red instead of white????
If I were in OZ I would look at the 6.0 paddles. I've got to believe they are popular down there.
My friends all call me a power player, but I would love a bit more control in my play style do you think getting the Luxx would be a good choice for me, also the color scheme is PERFECT
Yes, definitely
Hi Will- IS the Selkirk Luxx head heavy at all? would it be better to get the Epic shape to eliminate head weight
There’s some weight at the head but it isn’t anything crazy. If you want a lower swing weight then yes the Epic shape would probably be best
Appreciate that. Like your podcasts@@PickleballWill
SHEE~ what a review. Love it
Will, will you tell me which new paddle to buy if I’m a never drop always drive type of guy?
That Hudef VIVA2, pursuit pro, or gearbox pro
@@PickleballWill thank you 🙏
Diadem 18k POY
Definitely want a more thorough video on the Pickleball Apes pro line energy!!!
John Kew had a great review of it. His video put it in my top 3 for next paddle
@@EricShapiro-wx5ju I like his review, I just want to see more reviews. I ordered one already

@@foreal7712 you tell him to do a review now ;)
Where can I get that shirt Cliff has on? It's like a variation of chris olsen's 3.5 at best shirt
That’s custom and you’ll have to ask Cliff for that one
Hi will what’s the weight of the new gearbox paddles? Looking forward to the review!
I cannot find the Selkirk LUXX anywhere? a little help?
It won’t be available until later this month
Thanks Will!! @@PickleballWill
Is this Selkirk control air out yet?
Nah not yet but soon
When are the Gearbox set to drop?
Probably not til middle - end of this month
I want to buy all the Damn paddles, but I don't see them on the links provided.
Yea probably not til near end of the month
@@PickleballWill can't wait! I wish I can play with you and Chris sometime.
Good video!!
Surprised double black diamond didn't make the list
Yea since I’m not playing with em right now
Thoughts on New Hybrid Pickleball Apes Paddle? Worth getting the new or sticking with the current? Stoked
Unfortunately I haven’t had a chance to play with the new hybrid model but I currently love this elongated version and have heard good things about the hybrid model
No description of the new Gearbox paddles? Cmon!
I can’t yet haha but it will be getting a full review
Control air vs Power Air ?
Control Air > Power Air for me at least. I like the utility but if you are a beast player and can tame the Power Air i'd go for it
@@PickleballWill so it is less powerful? Does it have the same type of feel/spin as the power air?
@@koolpatrol you are gonna have to wait til it releases to find out!
Pickleball Apes coupon is $15 off not 15%… FYI (LOVE YOUR CHANNEL)
thanks for catching that 🙏
@@PickleballWill I ordered 2 paddles with your code ;)
8:46 What's up with zero review or explanation for this paddle?
Tease!
I wish I had the blue Luxx paddle !! Will if I beat you 1v1 would give me a paddle of my choice lol ..
But what happens if I win? 😄
@@PickleballWill you take all my paddles lol
LOL, he already has any paddle you have. @@LynathLiou
Do you sell any of your old paddles? Hook it up kabayan! 🇵🇭
Is Will Pinoy? 😊
DBD didn’t make the list?
nope, since im not playing with it right now
No where is selling that Selkirk luxx control air. The one they sell has a different design than the one you show in video. Also your links are showing different paddle.
That Selkirk Luxx isn’t out yet
Wearing the BnB shirt but no Filth in the lineup?
yea these are more current paddles and I just like bread and butter. Keep an eye out for when they drop their new shape soon
@@PickleballWillnobody seems interested in reviewing the Loco...do you think you'll be giving it a try? Been torn between that and the Pro-Line Energy S
@EricShapiro-wx5ju it’s kuz nobody has it yet but yeah I’ll be taking a look at it
Lol, that bag wouldn't even make it through as a checked luggage at the airport. What do you need that for, to carry a dead body?
Carrying all the body bags I get in the court 😅
First! 😮🎉
