Quick corrections with the stats on screen: Grip Circumference and Grip Length are both listed as just "grip" and the grip circumference of the EX (non-6.0) is 107, it's swing weight. The core on the pro is *wild* lol, I appreciate you actually peeling open these new/expensive paddles for the possibility of such a cool hidden/unlisted spec like a new core material!

I just got this paddle. I'm a tennis playing new to PB. This paddle is amazing. Spin is out of this world and the control is amazing. I feel like I'm in total control of placement and power. So glad I purchased it!

@annmaes7550 9 месяцев назад

I love the new Pursuit EX 6.0 Pro 16mm. This paddle is a BEAST!! I have been using the CRBN1X and loved it until now. The Engage EX has the same face length as an elongated paddle with shorter handle and a bit more width. The spin is awesome, balanced feel, great control at the net, and awesome power. I believe Engage finally did it!! I can still do a two handed back hand with finger overlap. I chose 8.2 weight and it’s perfect for me. I can feel the difference in my paddle battles at the net with the 114 SW; fast, fast, fast!! The only request to make this THE MOST PERFECT PADDLE, is fix the handle to a real octagon shape. The 5.0 grip doesn’t allow me to add an overgrip which I prefer. That being said, this paddle is AWESOME!

@lazyhusband 8 месяцев назад

Did you add lead tape?

@annmaes7550 8 месяцев назад

No, I did not need to add any tape. No overgrip either.

You can cut those balsa humps off and make a new pair for an octagon grip. Can also make side plates out of 1/32" birch plywood and glue them on with RC56. Grind down that sharp core edge with a dremmel. At that price I would think it should have a molded handle like a Legacy Pro.

@aakashraghubansh 7 месяцев назад

Minor detail but I believe there’s a typo at 1:36 for the EX grip measurement (107 when it should be 4.25”) and a minor formatting error with the bold font of the MX grip measurement

@Dinktroitpickleball 10 месяцев назад

Don't waste your money on any other paddle this thing is dope. It's got amazing, pop, amazing control, and amazing spin. There's no weak point to this paddle. Engage nailed it like no other carbon on the market

@pickleballnic 10 месяцев назад

I have the EX 6.0 Lite version and it is an awesome paddle and currently my Go-To paddle for doubles but can be a little poppy into the kitchen but makes up for it with put-away power. Spin is great. Sound is loud. Grip might be a little too thick. Yesterday, I played back to back with the Engage and with a Selkirk Labs 003 Epic with a bunch of weight on it and I also liked that a lot. Both are very close but I felt that the Selkirk moved a little better in the air so I ordered one of those as well. I am waiting on the LUXX also.

@dmoore4667 10 месяцев назад

A reminder that veterans get half off engage paddles. You can buy two paddles a year. This is why I will always stick with engage. And frankly, I’m not that great of a player to distinguish the paddles qualities from one another. It’s the player first, not so much the paddle.

I just bought one, came from the double black diamond. The swing weight was what sold me, and it definitely nails it. The standard shape is what's taking me a while to get used to, it's very short. I'm getting great spin, feel, and hand-speed. Loving it so far.

@zachcarmichael699 10 месяцев назад

The EX 6.0 model feels clunky compared to my Ronbus R1 Pulsar. Maybe it's the shorter handle or the square shape compared to hybrid, at the baseline my backhand drops and forehand drives feel very off. Really wish Engage would adopt the hybrid shape with a 5.3-5.4 inch handle.

@michaelbrohl1625 10 месяцев назад

I would never pay that much for a paddle when there are so many great options out there for far less money.

@zachcarmichael699 10 месяцев назад

Biggest pro with this, though, is the lifetime warranty. I love Ronbus, Vatic, and others in that $150 and under range, but 4-6 month warranty is rather short. Really depends on what you value.

@michaelbrohl1625 10 месяцев назад

@zachcarmichael699 Actually I don't think 6 months is too short at all. If i don't need to use the warranty in the first 6 months, it is highly unlikely I will ever need to use it. If something is wrong with the paddle I will definitely know before 6 months. That's just me.

@AnVu-nm4dg 10 месяцев назад

Engage is unique in that they have lifetime warranty, free 30 day trial, AND free return shipping. Pretty much no other company offers these benefits so the Engage price is worth it. With sale and discounts you can get one for $160 or even $110 for those that qualify for the GovX discount (teacher, hospital employee, govt employee, military, etc).

If you own a R1 pulsar and DBD is the difference even that big to feel like you “have to” buy this paddle ? I feel like most of the “best” paddles differences are minor but is this Engage that good?

If you’re happy with those two, no need to upgrade. The Engage is an upgrade in terms of power. Pulsar and DBD are great as it is. I wouldn’t feel pressure to switch unless you were considering Engage.

Can we expect the RPM to stay consistent? When I bought the last ‘new and improved’, the surface wore off in 4 hours.

Depends entirely on the conditions you play in and how hard you play. We put these through probably 30 hours of play testing and the spin stills great. I have never heard of a raw carbon face going dead in 4 hours.

@maxg5196 10 месяцев назад

But like... how's the soft game with this paddle. People are praising its power... usually good power means the soft game isn't as good. I am able to hit some INSANE resets with my engage pursuit mx, and I'm wondering if I upgrade to this if that ability will go away, or at least need to be relearned with the new paddle.

@deanp.1814 9 месяцев назад

I think the soft game is excellent. I am using the Pursuit Pro MX 6.0 (no lead) and love the touch and feel of this paddle. The control is excellent. And I'm coming from using the Ronbus Nova R1 which most consider a control paddle. I hope this helps.

@MartyNES1 10 месяцев назад

If i were to get the higher weight one would that translate to a larger sweet spot? I tried out a friend's prodrive and the sweet spot on it is basically the whole paddle and its 8.9oz. Or would you recommend getting standard weight and customizing with lead tape?

@AnVu-nm4dg 10 месяцев назад

Lighter will have smaller sweet spot (lower twist weight). Generally lighter is better so you can customize with lead.

@zachcarmichael699 10 месяцев назад

Flash shape = more aerodynamic, lower swing weight 14mm is generally going to feel a little stiffer with a tad more power.

@NOT_A_TOP_FAN 10 месяцев назад

$250 retail for non thermo seems WAY too pricey. It may play great, but I guarantee an advanced player could get the exact same results or better with any of the good $150ish paddles….. anyone buying this is probably either a loyal Engage follower or just doesn’t want to try the more boutique brands….

@SchittsFrozn 10 месяцев назад

Ya $250 is nuts. Engage easily has the worst handles in pball and the edge guard is so cheap that it’ll separate from the paddle face in 2-3 months. I’m never going back to engage. Lol

Why do you think that the pros favor the MX non 6.0?

@PickleballStudio 10 месяцев назад

Good question! Not positive. Paddles are always personal preference, so it's hard to know for each individual. Could be swing weight, could be they want less pop, could be they enjoy it being firmer, etc.

@namtran512 10 месяцев назад

The MX is favored more likely because of resets being an integral part of the pro game.

@dychax707 10 месяцев назад

Almost every pro gravitates toward the most powerful paddle in the brand’s lineup. And the MX shape would most likely be worse than the ex for resets due to less paddle surface area.

@namtran512 10 месяцев назад

@@dychax707 That's not necessarily true though, Julian Arnold plays with the non power line from Volair, and plenty of Selkirk pros do not use the 002/Power series. Paris Todd as an example uses the 006 which is definitely more of a control oriented paddle.

@AnVu-nm4dg 10 месяцев назад

These guys explain why they pick the non 6.0 version. Apparently in their hands, the pop/power is better than the 6.0 versions at the cost of a little control (dinks may pop up a bit). I'm tempted to get both to compare myself! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yc9kiGkhdmk.html

@zachcarmichael699 10 месяцев назад

To cover marketing, R&D/product design, and salaries for sponsored pros. But even with those factored in, I agree -- paddles should really be $150 max. I think there's also something to be said about naturally perceiving higher price point with higher quality and performance...e.g., if it's $250, then surely it's inherently better than the $150 paddle.
