@Mr.DJones Год назад

Thank you very much for your time and posting. So many paddles to choose from now. Five years ago, it was pretty much Selkirk and a few others. And prices are prices. I remember right before the Selkirk Invikta came out at $229. So many (a lot) of players said no way would they pay over $200 for a paddle. Pretty funny. Thanks again.

@pickleballeffect Год назад

I know ha I was literally thinking about the same thing the other day. Selkirk went first, everyone else followed and we all still buy multiple paddles.

@brianbanks3044 Год назад

i have been playing with the 1x 14mm and really like it...I went from the Engage Pursuit which is a great paddle but the CRBN just has a little more spin and pop

@karaoke888 Год назад

Been playing with my 1X 16mm now for the last 2 weeks and it was a very smooth transition from my previous paddle a Gearbox GX6 Control 8.5 oz. Very happy with the CRBN 1X 16 mm.

@pickleballeffect Год назад

Thanks for sharing! Yes, transition to these will vary depending on what your previous paddle was. I’m glad you like it, I think a lot of people will like them.

@cwarner5909 Год назад

As a current CRBN user I was thinking about getting the 1X to try out the thermoformed body and have an option with a bit more pop. After seeing what they are asking for them I ordered the Vatic Pro so that if I don't like the extra stiffness I'm not out so much. Anything over $200 is a deal breaker for me after about four months of play I'm seeing significant wear on my current T700 paddle.

@pickleballeffect Год назад

Do you like your Vatic?

@cwarner5909 Год назад

@@pickleballeffect Haven't got it yet, it will be from the new redesigned shipment ETA is the last of this month.

Great video. Can’t wait for Legacy Pro and Vatic Pro review.

@pickleballeffect Год назад

Hoping to get a Legacy soon

@jimwaldemarsen472 Год назад

Nice review. Definitely a premium price. With other options of similar technology and build quality at a lesser price people have options. I have to say I'm more interested in Six Zero, Legacy and Vatic to see how these comparisons shake out. I have a Legacy on order that I'm anxious to try out.

@pickleballeffect Год назад

I have a Legacy coming too. I’ve been waiting to do a comparison type video once I have them all.

@axelmartinez9 Год назад

@@pickleballeffect Have you been able to do the comparison between the 1x and Legacy? I'm thinking of purchasing the Legacy.

@gao57009 Год назад

Good, fair review. I have the 6.0 Double Black Diamond and understand what you mean when you say it takes a week or to to adjust to the feel, but when you do, it is perhaps the best all around paddle I have ever played.

@pickleballeffect Год назад

I’m still playing with my 6.0 DBD too, I really like it.

@LeMagnifique87 Год назад

@@pickleballeffect DBD is so good. The BD power is also excellent. I can't decide which of the two i like more

@pickleballeffect Год назад

@@LeMagnifique87 When it starts to get hotter outside during the summer I bet you start to like the BD for the extra power on the mushy balls.

@LeMagnifique87 Год назад

@@pickleballeffect I almost think that if it's a Dura, I'm using the BD, if it's a franklin, I'm using the DBD

@pickleballeffect Год назад

@@LeMagnifique87 I wouldn’t be surprised if that gets more common cuz the ball and weather conditions play a big role in how much power you can generate

@hecizzy1 Год назад

Im currently using R1 pulsar and I think it’s great but I want to take a step into more power I feel it’s a little light on drives would the transition to the crbn 1x be a smooth one ? I feel my soft game and touch is really good with the pulsar.

@pickleballeffect Год назад

Yes, it would be a very smooth transition. The 1x will give you that little extra power you’re looking for but not so much that it makes it hard to control.

@Mr.Martini549 Год назад

I played someone recently who was using a CRBN paddle. Not sure of the exact model but I was very impressed with the power she was getting from it.

@pickleballeffect Год назад

Yeah, it’s nice to get some pop from the thicker core paddles. I think a lot of people will like them.

@samborthwick8861 Год назад

How do you make your handle thicker? Just additional over grip?

@pickleballeffect Год назад

Yes, that's exactly what you do. Tacky overgrips are typically thicker than dry overgrips so use a tacky one if you're just trying to make your handle thicker.

@robedwards6926 6 месяцев назад

Besides the Gearbox pro, which seems to have quality issues, what model/brand paddle is the fastest mph wise you've ever clocked on a serve?

@pickleballeffect 6 месяцев назад

The Pro Line Energy Paddle by Pickleball Apes and the X2 Pro by Body Helix both have big power from the baseline. Those are the first two that come to mind.

@Skrimpz562 Год назад

Hi, I am wondering how long will the new crbn paddles last before needing to replace them? I plan to play 1-3 times a week. Thank you.

@pickleballeffect Год назад

Something about the new unibody tech gives the paddles more spin, because these have more spin than the original series even though they have the same gritty surface. But the grit will only last 3-6 months like all other raw carbon fiber paddles.

@Skrimpz562 Год назад

@@pickleballeffect Thank you for replying. Does the 3-6 months apply to all all carbon fiber or only "cross weave" type? Im in the market for a paddle with decent spin but am hesitant if I have to consider 3-6 month life span.

@pickleballeffect Год назад

@@Skrimpz562 yeah, it’s universal.

@ADJoshua1 Год назад

Why not comment on the 14mm? It seems to me many pros go that route as well as more advanced/aggressive style players? Thanks for the great reviews.

@pickleballeffect Год назад

I have them but haven’t spent as much time with them yet.

@russellmurray8162 Год назад

I’m currently playing the engage pursuit 6.0 mx but toying with switching over to a raw carbon paddle. In your opinion what would be the advantage if any? Would the 16mm CRBN x1 be a easy transition.

@pickleballeffect Год назад

Of the paddles that are out there that are not thermoformed, I think the Pursuit series plays the most similar to these. The main difference you'll see is a boost in spin with the CRBN 1X. I imagine it would be a pretty easy transition for you.

@johnsanders3501 Год назад

Thoughts on the new Pursuit Ultra ? How different vs current pursuit (it’s what I use now)?

@pickleballeffect Год назад

@@johnsanders3501 I don’t know, I haven’t hit one yet. I have a one ordered though. I’m hoping it maintains the same pop and feel as the original but with bigger spin and a little more stability.

@johnsanders3501 Год назад

@@pickleballeffect meet too. Was hoping your celebrity status would get you a demo! Now I kind of need to buy one! My grit has kind of been hardened to a hard slickness due to my 8.0 level hard hitting play. . . Ugh.

@@johnsanders3501 Selkirk is the only brand that’s on top of getting me paddles pre release. Everyone else I have to bug or buy.

@Enrages Год назад

off topic question, but do you use a continental or eastern grip for a majority of your shots?

@pickleballeffect Год назад

Continental

@Enrages Год назад

@@pickleballeffect Ok thanks for the reply. Been try to decide whether to make the switch to eastern from continental. I find myself switching a lot at the kitchen to put away high shots with my forehand.

@pickleballeffect Год назад

@@Enrages I’ve seen other people do that though it’s not common. It takes away traditional speed up targets from the person in front of you which is nice.

@tommymorgan9293 Год назад

Is the diadem warrior edge still relivant?

@pickleballeffect Год назад

Yes, not everyone likes the stiffer feel of the X series. The X's are a little poppier too so not everyone will be able to tame it.

@MrLbunting Год назад

It would be great to my hands on a 1x, but they are not available.

@pickleballeffect Год назад

@@MrLbunting yeah, they are out of stock everywhere I think. I liked these and decided to carry them in my store. I get a big shipment of them in 2-3 weeks.

@JorgeGarcia-cx5dv Год назад

Did you like the 2x better than the 1x?

@pickleballeffect Год назад

Yes, that’s the one I gravitated towards.

@nnamuenmada Год назад

@dominionn09 Год назад

I have the SixZero DD and love it. For $163 with a discount, you can't beat it. I'm also interested in seeing how the Legacy compares as it is even cheaper

@pickleballeffect Год назад

Yeah, it’s a good paddle. I’m interested in the Legacy too, feels like I’ve been waiting forever ha.
