New to the channel and loving your vids! Would u recommend the hudef viva pro gen 3 or the ballr heat for someone with a tennis background? Thanks!

I enjoyed your of the Ronbus FX Series paddles. Thank you.

ask me if I care --- too much

Looking at only swing weight and twist weight ignores the power gains to having weight placed higher up the edge or top. It’s always trade offs.

How do you feel about the Apollo vs the Ballista v2? Trying to decide between the two but can't make up my mind.

Hi, what is the weight of your R1? Did it need any lead?

Link doesn’t work

I play the Muvn Gruvn 13 mm and the Komodo Katana 16 mm. I believe they both would hold their own against the paddles mentioned here. I played lots of competitive ping pong and I gravitate toward short handle, wide bodied paddles. Solid list here.

I just started pickleball 2 weeks ago and have only played a few games. The person who introduced me to the game only had straight wood paddles. Then, a local Pro Shop allows for loaning paddles for testing. I told the guy at the pro shop that at 60 years old, it's a bit hard for me to do fast deep bending. He suggested trying the Paddletek Tempest Reign Pro v3. Coming from a straight wooden paddle, I absolutely fell in love with this. However, I'm hearing everybody think that Paddletek makes crappy paddles. And I'm thinking maybe I shouldn't have purchased it. I'm definitely not a banger, and I play fairly strong game at the kitchen line, with decent reflexes and accuracy. For just starting out, people say I'm doing fairly well and would rate me a 2.5 or 3.0 player. I'm extremely confused on if I made a bad purchase or not. I would like to know what you think.

For someone who holds their paddle at the end of the handle, would you recommend the spartus over the J2K? Ty. Great reviews

Great review. Been a Ronbus fan ever since R1.16. Did you by any chance add lead to the R2FX? With the lighter SW, you could bring up those power numbers and have great pop. Just curious.

This is kind of nit picking but do you keep phone on you while you’re drilling?! Any chances the titan app doesn’t work properly then machine is useless? Thanks for the great review. I’m deciding between Slingerbag or the Titan Ace.

So can you clarify what the optimal tape set up would be for the Luxx reviewed. I recently got this paddle so I would be very curious. I'm also curious if adding edge guard tape and lead tape would make any impact (hoping it wouldn't)

Which one do you like best?

How does this compare next to selkirk Vanguard speed air ? Just demoed the selkirk this morning and liked how much more spin I was able to generate. I don’t think I would buy the speed air quite yet, but I haven’t hit with the. Ballr so I thought I would ask you, thanks.

but does it epically anime battle the shogun (if you can get one lol)? shogun is similarly described as having 'filthy' power while retaining control on softer shots (sweetspot improvement over the filth as well), with the titanium assisting the pop. the fx grid system seems to provide similar playability, staying flexible on softer shots but pocketing and launching the ball on drives- like providing 1 x 2 return on big swings and 1 x 1 on small swing.

Definitely considering this paddle as it seems really hard to beat for the price. Do you find the shape takes some getting used to? I tend to play hybrid or elongated (16.5") paddles. We're really only talking about moving a half inch or so around, but I'm concerned I'll be hitting everything at the top edge for the first week. 😕

Not sure these are really Gen 3. The RPM's Speed Etc. are all in line with Gen 2 paddles. The true Gen 3's Oni, Joola, "Ronbus Ripple", etc. have Gen 3 tech with the trapoline effect.

I’m going to need you to do a giveaway with only me for the Ronbus FX R2.

Didn't these paddles not make approval,??

I'm a huge fan of Ronbus and their paddles. I still use my R1 Pulsar all the time. It just feels really good when I'm using it. I haven't tried these ones yet, but they are on my radar.

Any chance you could update the description to clarify which paddle this got rebranded to?

I will like to hear your opinion on how do they compare to j2k or j3k paddles ?

Great review. The shape of the Ronbus Fx R2 is what I like, but I think the Hudef APEX Pro offers better value for money. They are all in wide body shape.

Love your video as usual. Ronbus Fx Series is cool. If it is better to add some contrasting parts, this is just my suggestion. I feel they are very similar to the Hudef Pro Series. TY.

I have the R2. It's a good paddle!

Great review from the Pickleball Willy Wonka. Thank you, Sir. really enjoy your reviews. Not long and to the point. In my humble opinion Sir, if you could make paddle comparison from the new Standard Shape paddles (16x8 inches) like the Ronbus R2 FX Pulsar, New Bread & Butter Fat Boy, Spartus Apollo, Volair Mach 2 Forza 16mm, Joola Scorpeus CJ 16mm, Honolulu J2K and J2K Pro, etc. Think a lot of your audience would appreciate it. Thank you again. Saludos from Panama.

Where can we check out your Titan drills?

I liked my own comment

What are the best alternatives to the Luxx Invicta shape? Having spray on grit problems need carbon fiber or Kevlar.

I’m advanced level trying to decided between the Apollo or Ballr - what are your thoughts?

How does it compare to the new Ruby 14 mm?

Dang this paddle looks sweet..... I'm a beginner tho, could you lead me to a paddle that's very similar to this but just maybe a little longer on the paddle length.

This will help me on my new journey to becoming a pro player on the circuit, an ex tennis player looking for spin 😎

Anna Leigh is a bad a$$ with a heavy paddle and crazy twist weight

16mm or 14mm 1x?? Help me decide !!!

How would you compare this to the Gamma Airbender? Can you compare the difference in feel to the 14 Mach 2 Forza? Thanks!

Steven. Thanks for this review. It was insightful for my purchase. I have a question and am a bit confused. The packaging says that it is "100% uv protection" but you say in this video that they are not polarized. How do you get UV protection without polarized lenses?

You mentioned that the benefit of higher TW when adding lead tape is larger for standard or wide body paddles vs the hybrid shape you tested but it would be interesting to see the numbers. For example, by adding 5” at the throat you added 0.6 to TW at the cost of 2.0 SW - what does that look like if done on a standard paddle?

After a ton of “spin” on my decision making, I went with Viva G 3. Only because of your video. Dang nice seeing that price drop with your code. I bought it. U should mention this… P ball is beyond cheaper than golf. I can go to a public court and play top players. Friends spend a ton on golf. One racket is close to a day on the course plus lost balls. Anyway, I started last year. My first real paddle is the Franklin STK 17 mm. I still love this paddle. With 200 hour range of playing, it feels like it got even harder w the hits. Paid $40 at sierra (marshals). I got V G 3 just for the curiosity and love of the game. So, super excited to try this out. Yes, I was going to do the J2 but once I found out a few things on the logo and words on the paddle, I changed my mind.

Love your reviews. 1) The TKO CX 12.7 hits more powerful than my gen 3 perceus 16mm, but I can't dink or reset with the TKO -CX 12.7mm. 2) I tried to use your STSPICKLEBALL code on pickleball central, but website states it does not exist. Am I entering the code incorrectly on pickleball central, or there was an expiration on that code? 3) will the TKO-C 12.7 mm have a slightly bigger sweet spot than the TKO CX 12.7mm? I feel the sweet spot on the TKO CX 12.7mm is not big, and off center shots the ball just dies as compared to the gen 2 paddles.

What about the J3K? Its a widebody. Wouldn't control, blocks and resets be better with it versus the J2K?

Great review. How is this compare to Swice Swift Pro?

Great review. I have a question. I'm an intermediate player who played tennis for 20 years and use a lot of topspin. I've gone through several paddles that have lost their texture/grit in the sweet spot after 2-3 months, which is incredibly frustrating because even being able to demo paddles won't tell you if they will wear down. (I am currently using a Volair Mach 2 Forza 14mm which seems to be maintaining pretty well.) Is this what you are referring to in the last part of the video when you mention "loss of spin"? And other than reading tons of reviews online is there a way to know what the durability (if that's the right word) for a paddle is regarding its spin? Thanks!

I’ve watched so many videos on this thing and can’t wait to get one!

Have you played with the Diadem Icon V2? Currently on sale for $99 (50% off) wondering how it compares to some of these.

Is this the control model? What model is this?

Currently, I have Six Zero Ruby, and started thinking of getting the mach 2 Forza (16mm). My main things that I'm looking for are spin and power. So I just need some opinion about it @stspickleball

Bought one after this and other reviews. Used your discount. Thanks STS! Great paddle overall, exactly what I was looking for and exactly as you described. Only downside is that the initial great spin went away very quickly (couple of weeks) and it’s completely smooth now. Seemed to lose that spin alot faster than my carbon fiber paddles. Still my favorite paddle overall despite now so-so spin.

I have been playing with the Neonic Force per your review, and I really like it. I have had it for half a year and looking to change paddles. I have it narrowed down to either another Neonic or the Viva Pro Gen 3. I know its been awhile since you reviewed the Neonic but what would you recommend.? I have played with the Gen 2 and I liked it but felt it didnt have the pop the neonic had nor did it have as large of a sweet spot IMO. However I could effortless move between the 2 paddles .
