Ex tennis pro new to pickleball: This seems like a good paddle I’m a ex high level 5.0 tennis player I really like this paddle I can hit hard with control as advertised and a great price.

Perfect balance of power and control: Perfect paddle for someone with a tennis background who can drive hard with top spin. Control around the kitchen is also pretty good. This paddle is comparable to any other expensive branded paddle. Good for beginners and intermediate.

First paddle, I like it: Preface: this is coming from an amateur, first time player. The paddle has pretty good spin. I played a lot of ping pong so spin is how I started my play style. I’d buy it again at $120.

Volair Mach 1 Forza has really helped my game: I am a Senior player that started playing about 4 months ago. I bought an inexpensive paddle at the beginning because I wasn't sure if I would like the game. After I got addicted I called Pickleball Warehouse and asked to be connected to someone who could help me choose a new paddle. I should have written his name down but didn't; I explained that I needed overall help but especially with control. He gave me a choice of 3 that he recommended. I went

Control and power: One of the best paddles in the market. I've been using this paddle for 6 months and the surface still feel new. The T700 carbon face is legit and you can create crazy spins, and still keep the ball under control. The paddle is well balanced for power play and soft dink shots. I ordered my second paddle through Pickleball Warehouse for the best deal in the market. I highly recommend it. BTW, my DUPR rating is 4.2, and I've played with plenty of different brands from Joo

What a paddle!!: This paddle needs no added weight to open up the sweet spot, as the sweet spot is perfect out of the box. I love this light weight paddle for dinks, put aways, drives, and drops. The spin on my serves causes opponents errors, my groundstrokes are explosive, my dinks accurate and my drops are more efficient. The combination of pop and feel makes this my favorite paddle, yet.

Volair mach 1 Forza: Felt like this was somewhat overpriced. A little to absorbent for me, lacked some punch. Accessories included were nice, but rather have the value in the paddle.

Forza 14mm: I received the paddle the other day and was eager to take it for a spin....it has spin!!! Nicely packed and a couple extras including the-debris eraser. Paddle weighed 7.7oz. I have the 14mm. Took a bit to get used to the elongated shape. I could see I was not hitting center sweet spot, but surprised myself and opponents with some spinning aces. Had some mishits as I am still getting used to the lower weight coming off 8.3 and longer length of this hybrid. Lead tape might help, but
