Pickleball Paddle, USA Pickleball Certified, T700 Raw Carbon Fiber Surface for Enhanced Grip & Spin, Featuring 16MM Polypropylene Honeycomb Core, Perfect for Beginner and Advanced Players(grey)

I wish the listing were slightly more clear as to the process of 'molding' the components of this paddle. If thermoformed, it's an EASY 5 star paddle for a sub 60usd price point.Elongated.Raw Carbon fiber.Foam injected outer band, inside the poly core.Etc etc etc.These features used to only be found in paddles starting above 100usd, but this GREAT paddle does it at a fraction of the cost. There ARE other options doing this too, but they are rare and hard to find.EASY to recommend this as a viable and worthwhile consideration!

I've used wooden paddles before. But this is way better. It feels light and sturdy at the same time. Has a good grip and the design looks really slick and cool. Great paddle.

This paddle has good control and an okay but kind of weird sweet spot. Good grip. Very nice raw carbon fiber surface that can grab the ball and provide solid spin. Definitely better than your typical fiberglass paddles.About the weird sweet spot. In case you don't know, the "sweet spot" is the area of the paddle that gives the most consistent response from the ball. The closer you get to any edge of the paddle, the more likely the ball is going to come off the face of the paddle a little bit dead... it's gonna be a "mis-hit" of sorts.The sweet spot on most paddles is typically more circular/slightly oval-ish. And that probably holds true for this one as well. BUT, it really seemed to vary according to the speed I was hitting at. Up at the net, the control was excellent and the sweet spot felt very nice all the way up to an inch or so from the top of the paddle. BUT (and this is where the problem comes in) as soon as I was taking harder volleys or ground strokes from back at the baseline... it's like the sweet spot would shrink very quickly to be more circular and leave the top 2-3 inches of the paddle feeling a bit more dead.This MIGHT be a desirable feature for some players that need to slow down their power-hitting banger tendencies, but I didn't enjoy it. I'm open to the fact that maybe I just need more time with this paddle. Anyway, just one more opinion from another pickleball addict.

I've owned paddles from Six Zero (current favorite), Selkirk, Vatic Pro, Paddletek, and Joola.This paddle seriously surprised me with how well it plays. I like paddles that have a solid and good size sweet spot, and this paddle definitely has that. I typically find that the elongated paddles don't have as good a sweet spot as the more traditional shape or hybrid shape, so this paddle did surprise me in that aspect. Spin is great, resets are easy, and there's decent power when needed.I can honestly say that this paddle plays as well as those costing $100 more. I would say my Six Zero DBD has a more plush feel to it, but this paddle plays just as well.For this paddles price point, I don't think you'll find a nicer playing paddle. It would be a great paddle for a beginner, intermediate, or even advanced player that doesn't want to spend a lot on a paddle.

At this price point of nearly $60, it’s difficult for me to say that this paddle is 2X better than my $30 Xcello paddle. Both play well and if I interchange them, they both play the same. If I had to pick out why the Fligon paddle is better, the grip offers more control and the core is thicker than the $30 paddle.
