I approve this list. Nice work. You can count on the PaddleTek unlike the rest of these paddles (Chorus Fire excluded… hopefully). You liked the Pulse so much I figured it might get an honorable mention.
I thought about doing honorable mentions. However wanted to keep the video short and sweet for this one. My honorable mentions were the thrive Azul and the apes pulse. The other reason is both of those paddles are power paddles to me, but both hit significantly softer than the rest of the paddles on this list.
Still feel the GBX ppe is the beast-est out there. And if you have mad precision, the small sweet spot is a huge asset - you can use the other parts of the face for various drops/blocks/unconventional shots that really mess up the opponent's rhythm. But it's definitely not v easy to wield.
I can't remember but did you spend any time with the Mod TA-15 14mm version? I didn't like the 16mm at all in comparison. The 14mm has more touch, feel, control and durability (3 months of hard hitting and no sign of core corruption or crushing for me), smaller diameter handle that's more inline with most PB paddles, and was lightweight enough to be pretty customizable to boot.
All I remember regarding the ALW-C were pros were asking questions about her paddle not being legal. Nothing ever came of it, and it’s just a solid paddle. The one brief controversy from Paddletek this year was in their TKO-CX model which featured fishing weights as internal perimeter weighting. The issue wasn’t that the weights were illegal, but that the weights in early productions models would come loose which is illegal as they must be stationary. I may be missing something else, but that’s all I was aware of this year.
@@jppbkmsame. A buddy and I bought from the first batch. My edgeguard broke on the mid side within a week with moderate, non-abusive use. I was able to return it for a full refund. Buddy's upper edgeguard broke after almost 2 months with less weekly use, but they could only do a replacement.

Good list 👍

I personally love the gearbox’s but I know the feel isn’t for everyone.

I chose the 14 mm mod over the 16 mm. Better control for me.
I personally love the Thrive Blackout
Amazing paddle!
Which of these have the best control?
Joola 3s or the Paddletek TKO-C
@@JJPickleballDo you think the joola 3s has more dwell time over the paddletek 14mm?
@@robedwards6926 the 3s has more swell time based off its core construction. But both are great options.
Looking forward to what's ahead in 25. #CBRN??
It’s a fun paddle 🤫
Yes they have the TrueFoam paddle coming out, but it didn’t really feel like a power paddle
Wasn’t there controversy with Anne Lee Waters and her paddle earlier this year?

Does Paddletek Esq have a larger sweet spot than tko?
Yes it does!
Have You played with Spartacus Olympus?
I have. I know it’s a very popular paddle but it just didn’t stick with me for some reason.
Wait - what about the ESQ-C?
Made the other list I posted. TKO-C has more power so I went with it instead.
You missed Diadem Hush.
Shhhh
To my understanding this paddle is only USAP quiet approved.
Spartus Olympus should of made the cut
For some reason that paddle just never stuck with me. :/
@ took me 3 weeks to like it 😂
Olympus should have been on there
I know the Olympus was a big hit for some. I just couldn’t get adjusted to it for some reason
Nah, big QC issues. Great paddle but I broke two in less than 2 weeks play each. The did give refunds though so that's cool.

@@theLanceInPants Did the edge gurard "come loose" or "break"?
Hate seeing the ripple on these lists
I hope it gets delisted. Objectively though it should be here if legal.
