been grabbing these paddletek ones for my morning pickleball sessions after i finish my trail run and man they feel so light compared to my old ones. the grip stays tacky even when im soaked from sweating through my shirt in denver summer humidity and the power on volleys is way better than i expected for something under a hundred bucks. paid around 99.99 on that quick drop last month and its been in my gym bag every day since. only tiny thing is the edge guard got a small scuff already from bumping the court fence but it doesnt affect play at all. definitely keeps me going strong without messing with my ears like some of the heavier paddles do.
