    Definitely please re-do this with the thermaformed paddle and possibly w/ comparison w/ the Hyperion please! Would love to see if it's actually a viable cheap alternative or just a knockoff/scam.

    FYI: the wood that's seen on the handle is balsa wood it's used because it is very light weight and easy to form. This is commonly used on handles.

    Yeah, Juciao makes a bunch of Gen 1 paddles. I own 3 of them. They are great values and play well. I own 1 Gen2 paddle from them too. It's very poppy and difficult to control like most Gen2 paddles. It costed about $55 which is still a great value. However, my daily driver is a Vatic Prism Flash 16mm. It's much better than the Jucioa paddles and was still a very reasonable $90. It's also USAPA approved. Very interesting video and I'm interested in seeing the Gen2 dissected. I also am interested in seeing the guts of the Luxx. A couple of my friends love their Luxx paddles.

    It is a good paddle. I preferred it over the Vatic Prism that I tried briefly.

      And remember, the Vatic is also a sandwich construction gen 1. Excellent paddle too but usually about 90 bucks.

    The original Hyperion has a similar shape and grip, but the handle is actually a molded handle on the Joola (one of the first RCF paddles to use a molded Octagonal handle). Take the grip off of a Hyperion CFS and you'll see it. This paddle uses the OG sandwich paddle construction technique.

    It would be nice to redo it with the new Juciao Spin 1.0 paddle. It is supposed to be a Gen2 paddle and USAPA approved (It is showing on USAPA approved list)

    I have this paddle and it is pretty good - I was pretty happy with it but itching to try a thermoformed one. The model that you are thinking about that is a Joola clone is the Amasport Kronos. It is more pricey but from everything I have hear an EXACT copy of the Joola, and that one is approved for tournament use. It is my main one now and I'm really enjoying it. I keep the Juciao as a backup/loaner.

    Don't they use that type of handle pretty much on all paddles especially that type of wood?

    • @PKB-AG
      @PKB-AG 17 дней назад

      Any paddle that is labeled "unibody construction" will not have the wood in the handle. The thermoforming process will extend through the handle on gen 2, making them much stronger.

    Do you know what Thermoforming is?
    Do you know the difference between Gen 1 and Gen 2 Thermoforming?
    I actually love these videos you are doing but do some research on paddle construction and manufacturing.
    I own this paddle but have left it behind for Gen 2 Thermoformed Paddle. Pulled it out and hit it the other day and was surprised how well it actually hit. But I won't be going back to it.
