Pro T700 Carbon Fiber Pickleball Paddle｜16mm Thermoformed | Power, Control & Exceptional Spin|Minimalist Graphics (Ocean Blue)

My wife and I recently took up pickleball and went straight to learning on high quality paddles. This #PEKZEN carbon fiber paddle is a great way to start. Instead of starting with inferior plastic paddles and getting frustrated because of the poor performance, this paddle will make you enjoy the sport. We started noticing that it was easier to put spin on the ball and hit the ball harder with this paddle. The sound of the paddle hitting the ball just sounds so good. This paddle has a great, solid grip that is comfortable and large enough for my hand and easy to hold for my wife. It may be pricey but it should be the only paddle you buy...unless you go pro. ;)

This 16mm pickleball paddle is a nice solid preforming paddle, the paddle has a great balance between power and control, it also has a really decent spin factor to it as well, the face of the paddle has just the right amount of grit to grab the ball, the grip is nice and easy to hold on to, it does have a slight wrist vibration but it's not bad at all, overall I am happy with quality and performance of this paddle and in my opinion for the price it's a pretty good value.

This item was selected as a charity raffle prize, the kind of exciting reward you might think twice about buying for yourself, or you didn't know you needed, but would be ecstatic to win. Additionally, pickleball has been gaining significant popularity in my local community, and prizes such as this are very well-received.

This pickleball paddle looks great and feels well made. This paddle is made from Japanese T700 carbon fiber, which “offers more control, precision, and a stiffer feel, while 12K carbon fiber offers a bit more power, flexibility, and a softer feel.” Its core material is PP (polypropylene) honeycomb core edge, which is common in “high-quality pickleball paddles because they offer a good balance between power and control. The honeycomb structure provides both lightweight properties and durability, with the added benefit of reducing vibrations for a softer feel. “It weighs 8.25 ounces (0.51 lbs.), which is a medium/standard weight. It has raised foam-reinforced edges, which better protect the paddle edges but lower its precision. Its web page states that this panel is USA Pickleball certified, meaning that this paddle has been tested and approved by USA Pickleball for use in sanctioned tournaments.I played badminton and ping pong since high school, but I started to play pickleball less than a year ago. I was a bit competitive in my youth, but now that I have retired, I play for health benefits. Lately, I have been playing with a college friend, and we agree that we will play in such a way that both of us can hit the ball back and forth as long as possible. Although I am just a novice, I can feel the ball bouncing well on this paddle, giving the feeling of being in control.It will take time to assess how reliable and durable this paddle is. If it does not perform as expected, I’ll revise my review to reflect that. For now, it works greatly, and I recommend it.

I've never heard of PEKZEN before but this paddle should get the attention of a lot of players. I found it to be very well balanced. That is when I take a swing at the ball the paddle felt more like an extension of my arm and I was able to maintain complete control getting back to a set position quickly. The paddle face is fairly gritty. On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being like fine sandpaper, I'd rate this a 6. The raised ribs on the grip help keep the paddle firmly in your grasp and as far as power is concerned, I think this paddle has plenty of pop. It's perfect for beginner's and intermediate players alike and I really can't think of any reason why a more experienced player won't like it as well. I am not an advanced player but it does everything I think it should. My favorite part is control. You hit the ball with a firm grip and the ball pretty much goes where you pointed it to go.
