This is a big, big upgrade from the original model (read our initial Paddletek Bantam ALW-C review). This model has a longer handle and a lot more power and spin. I feel like ALW out there—my two-handed backhands are consistent and strong. While it doesn't have the pop and power of the elongated Paddletek Bantam TKO-C, it's very powerful for a square paddle. Built for intermediate to advanced players, it can take time to adjust on control. However, if you want a super-fast, lightweight paddle...

Engage Pursuit Pro EX 6.0: The paddle arrived on time and was packaged well. This is a great paddle, good control and power for the beginner or intermediate player. This paddle doesn’t have the band around the base of the handle like most other paddles I used. It also has a weird nub on the bottom of the handle. These are minor things to me though, and it was well worth purchasing.

Awesome Paddle!: Purchased this paddle base on playing with the Phoenix G6 a week ago; it was the first time I had a Pickleball paddle in my hand and played Pickleball. After playing I did some "research" on paddles; construction, playing characteristics, country of origin, warranty support, etc. and decided on the Genesis Pro. I'm sure the Genesis or G6 would have been good choices, maybe even something in Bantam or Tempest series as well. But for just overall great playability I think the G

Great service and shipment!: Customer service was excellent and I received the paddle in time for my vacation! Only thing is that the tape the secures the grip is not sticking. Seems like a defect although it is an easy fix.

Good paddle!: I have tried a number of different paddles; Prince, Gamma, Selkirk, but Paddletek works best for me. It seems no matter where on the paddle face the ball hits, there is no doink sound. It took a while to develop a soft touch, because it does hit with power, but I really enjoy this paddle.

Great Paddle: I Bought this paddle for my wife. It was to step up from her starter paddle. It's the same paddle I use, but I ordered a smaller grip size for her. She loves the paddle. Good delivery time.

Definitely worth the price.: This paddle is perfect for all around play. There is finesse with the soft dinks and packs a punch for serve speed. The ball just jumps off the paddle. The grip is perfect for my hand. I have a smaller hand than most so it’s hard to find a paddle that feels good. I love that the paddle has different grip sizes.! I will definitely be purchasing another paddletek in the future.

Paddle #1: This paddle was purchased for a friend here in Panama. She is liking it a lot and has not gone back to her previous paddle, also a PaddleTek, since receiving the new one. Service: Was excellent, as usual. The only improvement that I would suggest is better packaging for the paddle. I received the package with the 2 paddles in it, and the package (UPS) was very battered. The UPS package is shipped on to us via a freight forwarding company. I will request a little stronger package w

Ho-Hum Paddle: I've enjoyed playing several Paddletek models, and this one performs well too. The medium rating is because I was intrigued by the paddles' descriptive hype, which included features to control vibration, rotational torque, while delivering added "pop." Just the qualities I needed for the soreness and diminished strength I am experiencing due to arthritis in hand/wrist and shoulder. But I'm unable to say the paddle delivers any of those qualities.

New line Phoenix: Took a chance on new line equipment which I normally do not do. So far like the feel and added pop after a week of play, still working on feel, just starting my 2nd year of play but already consider myself as a mid level player at age 69. Fast curtious service from pickleball central. Thanks

Great Feel and Control: I purchased the Paddletek Phoenix Genesis Pro as a replacement for my first inexpensive paddle I have used since taking up the game several months ago. This paddle is a definite step up and it has helped improve my game over the past few weeks. My paddle is the standard grip and 7.8 oz with the new Paddletek design - very nice. The Phoenix Genesis Pro gives good control and feel at the kitchen, a seemingly very large sweet spot, really nice forgiveness on less than per
