Good paddle: The handle broke after a few weeks, they replaced it. Great customer service. The paddle plays well, nothing amazing but very solid paddle.
CRBN
The CRBN 1 16mm is widely praised for its exceptional touch, spin, and forgiving sweet spot, with most reviewers calling it the best paddle they've owned. However, several reports of handle durability issues—including handles snapping after minimal use—raise concerns about build quality despite responsive customer service.

CRBN 1 Elongated: Great feel and touch. As someone who can supply my own power this paddle offers me more accuracy and has a very forgiving sweet spot.

My favorite paddle: I’ve only been playing Pickleball for a year, but this is by far my favorite paddle and I’m on my third. Highly recommended.

The best: The CRBN has great touch and spin. Having a tennis background I can play with more topspin and slice than with any other paddle I have tried. The grip has defined bevels so it is easy to have you grip in the correct position.

Best of the Best: I have owned many paddles and my friends are absolute paddle junkies. I have tried all of the latest paddles from all of top companies including the Joola CFS-16. There are many good paddles on the market but nothing feels and plays as well as my CRBN1. Some players buy new paddles and comment that they will get used to it. For myself and everyone I know who has bought a CRBN, there was no adjustment period and the paddles felt amazing from the first hit. There’s been a lot of

Just as advertised: My wife bought me my first pickleball paddles back during Covid from Dicks….a set of Monarch 2.0s. They were great and brought me to a very satisfying level of play. A friend one day commented how he thought my game could really benefit from a carbon fiber paddle because is would “really accentuate” my tennis backhand slice spin. I tried his and really liked it. I’d had my tennis racquet for about 15 years because I could never find a new one that felt comparable AND raised t

Quality: I will start by saying that we both love are CRBN paddles however we are concerned about the quality of the paddles construction. My wife’s CRBN 1 had the handle snap off after using it 4 times. The paddle handle snapped while taking the paddle back to make a stroke. No impact with the court or the ball. We returned the paddle and received a replacement but I now worry the same thing could happen again to hers or my CRBN 3X .

Powerful spinning paddle: I've added some lead tape to top and sides to get to 8.5 oz. Has great power and very good spinning capabilities. Lacks the reset touch I need to be effective. Like the Ben Johns 16mm for touch.

Best in the line: For singles or doubles this paddle has great reach and plays super soft. The surface allows you to put a high amount of spin on the ball. Comes with a nice paddle cover. The grip is a bit bigger than the 13 mm but wasn't really a problem for me. I've only had it a week but the quality seems very high so I expect I'll have this for awhile.

Pete W: Great paddle! Works like a sandpaper ping-pong paddle, great for spin and lifting and dropping the ball over the net. I am returning more shots at my feet with the added grip and lift it gives you. Highly recommend it.
