Oneshot Pureshot Brian Ashworth Series Paddle

95Universal Acclaim

The Oneshot Pureshot Brian Ashworth Series Paddle is overwhelmingly praised for its exceptional control, spin, and soft touch, making it ideal for net play and dinking. Reviewers consistently highlight the textured surface, comfortable larger grip, and shock absorption as standout features. The primary drawback is limited raw power compared to some competitors, though most players find this acceptable given the paddle's strengths in finesse and touch.

Love it! : I absolutely love my Pureshot! It gives me the soft game I love and I am still able to generate power to put away shots. I highly recommend!

One Shot Paddle: The good first, I have played exclusively with this paddle over the last 3 months and it has held up extremely well considering the excessive amount of play. This paddle does well in the kitchen with a soft response and feel. The negative is that it is not a power paddle. It is a great intro paddle for the money. I would definitely buy a used one if the price was around $50 for a backup paddle. If you are a beginner this paddle is a good choice being on the softer side to

Product and customer service: My first Ashworth came in with a few defects. Not a problem for customer service. They immediately sent me a replacement AND a return label and packaging. FANTASTIC!!!! The paddle is excellent....so good that I bought one for my wife. Great service and a great paddle.. What more can you ask for

Oneshot Pureshot : I really like this paddle! Excellent feel and control, large sweet spot, and plenty of power when you want it. Easy to spin the ball. Great paddle for the "soft" game. I have fairly long fingers, and I like the larger than average diameter handle, but if you have small hands, you may not.

Pureshot: Really solid paddle. Good balance, very forgiving on mishits, power when you need it. If you are looking for an all court paddle this one is as good as it gets.

Works good for me..: Paddle has great touch. I'm mid 30's and 6'2" so power wasn't my concern. It does take more to get the ball moving, but if you don't have a problem generating your own power, then this is a good option.

working well so far: I am fairly new at PBall. This is my second paddle which is the main reason for 4 starts. I do not know how much better they may get. My first paddle was based on price to learn if I would like the game. I really enjoy it so I decided to try a $100+ paddle. It is definitely an improvement. More lively than my less expensive paddle. I will be interested in how long it will keep the bounce.

Great paddle for spin and control: I've played with this paddle for about a month now and am very happy with it. It has slightly more power than my prior paddle but the big improvement is how well it works for spin. My topspin rolls and sidespin serves work great. I also like the relatively large grip. I came to Pickleball via tennis, and this grip feels similar to a tennis grip.

Soft feel, good shock absorption: This is an all around high performance paddle. It has a soft feel to it but I have no problem generating power. I have lingering tennis elbow issues and tried the Pro Kennex paddles but they didn't help. For some reason this paddle works for me and does a great job absorbing shock. It's a keeper.

I am extremely pleased with this paddle: I am approaching intermediate player level and had been playing with an Onix Z5 Graphite paddle and very happy with it. I decided it was time to upgrade my paddle. It was around that time that the Brian Ashworth Series Paddle was released. The specs and description of the paddle intrigued me. I called PickleBall Central and the sales rep I spoke with confirmed my hunch - the the Pureshot would be and enhancement over the Z5. From the outset I was very

Love it: Ordered a couple paddles to upgrade what my brother and I are using, only issue is we both always want to use the Pureshot, had to order another one. Great paddle to help improve your "touch" game.

Pretty great!: I don’t play as well as Brian now but it did definitely help! Dinks and drops are cleaner and come easier. My drives improved too! Was hoping my beard would grow as mighty as Brian’s overnight too but that didn’t happen. Otherwise I’d really recommend this paddle!

Helps with accuracy: When I read the description, I had to try this out. This paddle has really helped my touch game, yes softening your grip helps take pace off but when you have someone blasting at you it's hard to soften the grip too much or you loose some control. This paddle has done the trick for me in that department. I also love the larger grip diameter, it helps me to use more arm & less wrist which again helps with accuracy / control. The texture on the face has also helped when I wan

OneShot Pureshot - Very Happy with this purchase: Very happy with this Purchase / Selection... I had previous purchased a beginner racket from Pickleball Central after their assistance... After a little more research I select this paddle. Only took one game to get used to this paddle.. I feel like my game has improved from upgrading to this paddle. I contribute this to the thicker Grip/handle and the ability to add spin to the ball.

My new go to paddle: I took a chance on buying this paddle because it checked every box that I had: A thick core, short handle, very rough surface, small compact traditional shape. I’m not anything more than a very solid 3.0 player, but I do know what I like in a paddle and I have found it in this one. the handle is slightly thicker than most which helps me have a more consistent grip. It has that wonderful soft trampoline like feel you expect from a thick core paddle. The ball doesn’t just

Great Paddle to Up Your Game: I bought this rack to replace my 8 year old Onix Graphite Z5. The grip on the Pureshot is a tiny bit bigger and the handle slightly shorter, but feels very comfortable. I really like the Pureshot's rough, grippy surface (it's a game changer), making it easier to control & spin the ball. I also like the thicker core which works really well to remove the shock/vibration. I think this paddle will help me to avoid re-injuring my elbow tendonitis which was pretty bad onl
