Pickleball Paddle, Raw Carbon Fiber T700 Abrasion-Resistant Surface, 16MM Polypropylene Honeycomb core, USAPA Approved, High Grit,The Pickleball Paddle Designed for Control Spin & Consistency

As someone who has used Joola’s paddles extensively, I found the LEGENDTEK 12K Carbon Fiber Pickleball Paddle to be a fantastic alternative. This paddle really stands out with its Toray T700 Raw Carbon Fiber Face and Raw Spin Technology, providing exceptional control and spin, whether you’re a beginner or a pro.I appreciate that it’s USAPA approved, making it a solid choice for tournament play. The 16mm Polypropylene Honeycomb Core ensures top-notch performance, and the new thermoformed technology adds to its durability and resistance to deformation. The carbon friction surface is great for generating spin and handling opponents’ spins with ease.The grip is another highlight—it’s comfortable, anti-slip, and designed to reduce fatigue, even during extended play. At just 8 ounces, the paddle is lightweight, allowing for quick hands at the net, while the wide racket area gives a generous sweet spot, reducing mishits.What really impressed me is the elongated handle, which provides extra length for a better grip and increased spin potential. Overall, the LEGENDTEK paddle offers many of the same benefits as Joola’s paddles, making it a worthy addition to any pickleball player’s gear.

Update:Now that I have played with this for several weeks, I do strongly recommend it. The Control is really good, Pop is excellent. The Power is a less than what I prefer. I decided to add lead weights on them since they are really light for my liking. After adding 4 gms on each side (2-4 O'clock), power is now excellent! You will still pay for off center shots which is to be expected. Maneuverability is excellent. I loved the "Hybrid" style shape. Unless you are highly competing, I do not believe that you can get any better for the price. Adding weights will probably lessen the lifespan of the paddle though. But even the Pros do this. Get the paddle and have a great time.I have now accumulated multiple paddles in a very short period of time. Looking for a paddle that fits my style of play. Thankfully, there more excellent paddles now available but still looking for the "one". This paddle has all the criteria of a really good one. Thermoformed, T700 carbon. edge foam, elongated , small rounded grip. The handle length though could be longer but still sufficient. It is quite light and may need some lead tape for certain styles of play.All of these in a very inexpensive price. It is quite a beautiful paddle. BUTI ordered mine on sale. You can see on the reviews that it comes in a beautiful box, with 2 grips and cleaner. NOT in mine. Did not receive these extras probably because it is on sale?? Got mine in a pretty envelope and thankfully, with a cover. It is a worthwhile paddle to check out. Just be aware of the nuance.

My wife and I had started playing pickleball with some inexpensive paddles, but I felt like i needed one where I could add spin and have a longer handle for 2 handed backhands. There are a number of paddles out there with carbon fiber, but most are over $200. This paddle looked interesting and had good ratings so I thought I would give it a try. It is somewhat of a copy of a very popular paddle out there and it provides good power and response. Because it is "grippy", I am able to add topspin, sidespin, and backspin to the ball. It came with a neoprene cover which keeps the paddle from getting damaged while transporting it. I like it and would definitely recommend it.

I've been on the lookout for the perfect paddle to take my game to the next level, and let me tell you, the LEGENDTEK 12K Pickleball Paddle is an absolute game-changer! From its raw carbon fiber T700 surface to its 16MM polypropylene honeycomb core, this paddle is designed for ultimate performance on the court. Whether you're a novice player looking to improve your skills or a seasoned pro seeking precision and control, this paddle has covered you. Thanks to its advanced construction and innovative design, what sets this paddle apart is its exceptional spin and control. The raw carbon fiber surface provides added spin on every shot and ensures durability and longevity, making it perfect for intense gameplay. Plus, its USAPA approval guarantees that it meets the highest standards for competitive play.

Bought this for my husband for his birthday, he is probably an intermediate to advanced player. I find it hard to believe there are paddles much better than this one until you get ready to drop $2-300 on one. It has a nice case, no bag. The handle is a good size and grip. The ball control and ability to put a spin on the ball is OP. He is over the top thankful for his paddle and even more appreciative for the value for the price. I believe this company has the ability to be the next great pickleball paddle brand.

At this point as a novice player I would give this paddle a very solid, but not spectacular review. I’ve been playing the paddle once or twice a week for about 3 months. It has a good amount of power with decent control and spin. The sweet spot is better than many other paddles I have played in this price range. If you’re looking for something with next level control and/or spin then this is not the right paddle for you. Having said that… for the price you’re paying for this paddle it’s definitely a very good deal.
