Completely different ball game……litterally 😂

How does this compare to the Selkirk luxx??

Hi I am using your tier list so far, my first paddle is halo xl and I wanna buy another one. How will you put the bantam tko cx 12.7 on this list

another GREAT review

As a beginner/intermediate, should I get the J2K or the B&B Shogun?

A newbie type you missed out on by the way is the poor newbie. Good day! 😁

You do a great job describing how paddles perform with regards to “purchase” over the ball. Which paddles rate highest for you in this category?

Elite level review. Tons of useful information.

Are these good for indoor and outdoor? Thank you for your reviews

Mach 2 forza vs Honolulu j2k? Better bang for your buck and blend of power and control for a beginner/intermediate player

They need to offer a smaller grip size

Hey, your skills on the court is so good

8:09 That's some serious showboating there 😅

Retired tennis brother here … have been looking to your paddle reviews first for feel and playability input. Keep up the great work. But tennis brother or not … paddle coming around ball with ball still on paddle surface … NO. ;)

Is the ronbus R3 nova still your fav?

What’s the different between Hyperion Gen 3 and Hyperion C2 ? I love the Aero-curve shape, but it’s not many people talk about it 😭

Hello I know it’s late, but between the Perseus 3 Ben Johns and the B&B Filth, if I’m getting the Perseus for $130 and the Filth $100, what’s the better paddle in terms of performance and value? Both are slightly used

How would you compare this to Honolulu sword & shield J2k?

Your level of singles has been improving the more reviews you do; I'm enjoying watching the progression 😄

‘…you’re looking for control to get up to the net and pop to finish the point offs’ - This statement sums up this paddle! Great review as usual Luca; really enjoying this paddle so far!

Hey Luca! Appreciate your attention to detail here. Question... I come from a casual tennis background and have only played pickleball a few times. Want my own paddle and this notion of handle length is confusing to me. Do you prefer standard or elongated paddles? I do generate spin and my own power, so control is preferred. Thanks for the video!

Luca you are such knowledgeable in the techniques of pb. Great review as always learnt many new things

It's interesting how you explain why the spin suffers on this one. It's most interesting because I'm comparing it to the Spartus Apollo, which is even more clunky. Yet may have the highest spin of any paddle currently on the market. The Apollo also has a stiffer feel with less dwell time so you would think less time to impart spin? The Apollo is 100% kevlar, so maybe the blended carbon and kevlar combo is more responsible for the lack of spin than the clunky shape?

Have you tried the 14mm scorpeus? Looks like it has less grit than the 16mm but more pop?

New shirt, Luca?

Best looking control paddle this year at minimum

Question on the j7k handle length. you said on the j3k that its listed at 6 but more like 5.5. is the same for the J7K?

Another great comprehensive review providing very useful insight into the nuances of the paddle. How would you compare the FatBoy to the R2FX? Also, just curious. Do you ever play doubles?

How would you compare this to the shogun? I’m torn between the 2 😅

Great review!!! I got my hands on it and love it for doubles. My question to you is, would you use it for singles over the Ruby 16mm? I ask because I also have the Ruby. TIA! 🙌🏼

How are these vs ruby

TLDR: This new paddle design is fascinating! The creativity behind the weave pattern really shows. I'm curious if different patterns could influence play styles. What if we had circular weaves or even pixel art designs? It would be amazing to see someone have full reign over these designs and test their impact on gameplay. Thoughts? Im not in the space enough to be able to say this with confidence but bread and butter seem to have some REALLY creative leadership, its amazing to see that creativity show the the weave of this paddle, i want to see whoever this person is have full reign on the design of the weave pattern and then see if the end up having to make an optimal pattern. for example, imagine that instead of the zig zags going in one direction (i call this direction R1) these zig zag lines curve into each other to form circles, OR whatever pattern is most common could work too. id imagine a reference point being the answer to: How many circle patterns do you need and where should the centers be placed? but i bet some peoples playstyles would benefit off of more square or rectangular patterns, all types of shaped really could be added and tested, you could even do pixel art in the weave pattern. of course, this is all assuming that whoever made that weave pattern can in fact change how the material is weaved. also if Bread and Butter are reading this...need a paddle tester?

Any thoughts on how these paddles differ from the Head Radical Nite?

Hi there, :) There is a typo in your video. It should say 16.3 inches in length and not 6.3 inches. Am leaning towards this model as my first paddle.

I mostly play indoors on a laminate floor. I've had trouble with the edge of my shoe sticking to the floor. My arm is in a cast right now due to my foot sticking. Is there a better sole material of some kind to wear on these types of floors?

ordered the J2k 10 Days ago and it hasnt even shipped. Super disappointed

This doesn't make sense. For carbon fiber paddles, the wide bodies are control for beginners and the elongated ones are harder to use power paddles for advance. Why is it backwards?

Luca, I really hope they are paying you well at the store. You should have your own channel and be a full time paddle reviewer. By far one of the best KZfaq. I bought the J7K form you guys and it feels like it was built specifically for me. I was using the Vatic Prism flash before and thought I made a mistake by ordering the J7K, mainly because the J2K was always out of stock. I am so happy with the J7K. The control and power combination is exactly what I had hoped for. This review only reinforces how I feel about this paddle. Thanks for another great video. Keep them coming!

That’s interesting what you said about their stability. I’m guessing the vast majority of people will find the J3K the most stable, and the J7K the least stable. Most people correlate stability with anti-twisting sensation that comes from having a high twistweight. It sounds like maybe your sense of stability comes from a higher swingweight? More plow through?

where the j2k ???

too flat and boring

It comes in blue also is there a difference

Hey, besides the Luxx and prisms. What is the best control paddle for drops that you've used?

Great review but maneuverable 😉not maneouvrability 👍

really? the standard shape has a smaller sweet spot than the xtra elongated and hybrid also you find it less stable as well? usually arent those the selling points for a standard shape? weird.

Is there a difference between the j2k and the dbd/ruby? Which would you recommend?

The SLK Halo paddles are an affordable line from selkirk with a great design, can you review these to let us know how good they are maybe people who are new/medium skill level can look into them?

best pickleball reviews on youtube!!

I’d like to see a video demo’ing and explaining differences one can expect from choosing a 14mm vs 16mm paddle in thermoformed and non thermoformed construction.

Great video. I'd like to hear how these paddles compare to other brand paddles, such as Hudef.
