Pioneer Neo 16mm Pickleball Paddle, Raw T700 Carbon Fiber Pickleball Racket USAPA Approved for Tournament Play with Paddle Cover, Polypropylene Honeycomb Core Power & Control

Bond Pioneer 16mm is a pretty good 16mm paddle. Pretty poppy, is thermoformed. But it is not gen 3 as shown in the advertising picture.

This paddle has all the tech and quality you would get from much more expensive paddles and I would call it as currently the best value paddle. And probably better than any paddle you can get from a big retail chain. Not much other paddles have thermoformed carbon at this price point, only downside the grip seems to feel uncomfortable if your hands get sweaty, so I plan to replace that.I have two $50-100 paddles (Franklin & SLK) and this one much much better in every way except for the grip. And another more expensive Gen 2 Kevlar paddle, I’m very surprised that they perform similarly with the Bond being a fraction of the price.Very interested in what else this brand has to offer!

I recently started playing pickel ball and purchased cheaper paddles to start off with then I purchased this 16mm Pickleball Paddle, Raw T700 Carbon Fiber with the recommendation of a fellow pickleball player and I can promise you that it makes the world of difference!! my game has improved with the accuracy of the returns and serves. I highly recommend this paddle plus it comes with a paddle over

i'm just a beginner, but this was the best packaged racket that i bought. it even has a pamplet. :0 It feels good in my hands and I can return balls hit to me, so that's all that matters for now. :)

The 14 mm is a great paddle. I play at the 4.5 level and am shocked at how well it plays for under $50. I also purchased the customized paddle with pictures of my dog on each side…WOW! Worth every penny!
