Ethos Thermoformed Pickleball Paddles Review & Giveaway: Is this Tiny Face the Shape of the Future? 

I have the Arete and it's a great control paddle. Every time I take it out of the bag, people are asking about it so great conversation piece. Super fast and plays well at the net. The shape looks small but it has never been an issue for me. As the Arete is always in my bag, making a 14mm version available and offering more pop would be a slam dunk for me. That's just a personal preference as I play with power paddles. But until then, I appreciate the uniqueness and think its a great paddle to have or at least try out. This is the one paddle that I will hold onto for the long term. I'm a fan :)

The Arete has the best swing weight for me, would like to test hit this as the shape is so unique. Kudos to Ethos for being creatively practical in their shapes

With that shape, Arete exotes me the most.

Thank for the review. I’ve really been curious about the Arete and Ethos Paddles

This paddle looks fun to try. A Katana Pro review could be cool

The arete looks seriously fun and technical! Would love to try it!

I won the raffle! Big thanks to @MatthewkPickleball and Ethos!

I think I’d like to try the Arete! The paddle shape is so unique and I’m interested to see how it would affect my gameplay.

Reminds me of the sweet spot trainer paddles just a little bit bigger. Definitely would be a cool paddle to have in the bag.

Arete is my pick… but they all sound pretty great, especially having one under $100!

I really love the companies with innovations, definitely want to try the Arete. The swing weight 116 is higher than I expected since it's more aerodynamic than most of the paddles. Long handle hurts maneuverability, I'm OK with 5.5" handle, adding 0.5" length to the paddle surface might increase the twist weight from 5.75 to maybe 6?

I would love to try the Arete! I’m sure my club would also love to check it out.

I think I would like the Scoria the best, but I would love to try out the Arete to see if I could work it like a pro!

I would go with the Scoria because the shape is similar to the paddle I’m currently using.

scoria---for the high twist weight, the last thing I need is a small sweet spot though I like the idea for people who are experienced

I like the Arete for the uniqueness. I'm glad to see a company using different molds

The Telos would be my option.

Would love to win the Scoria! Looks like it'd fit my play style well.

Very good review. I look forward to following your channel. Keep up the good work! (And I think the Arete is paddle to get).

Absolutely that arete

Arete for the win!

Very interesting. Arete would be cool to try

I love the spin and power specs of the Arete as well as the coral color option

Arete looks like the one to try

I’d love to get the Arete paddle!

I really would like to try the Arete!

Thank you for the content and giveaway! I'd love to be able to try the new shape design of the Arete paddle!

There are some great local players in my area using all three of these paddles. I have never used one, but would love to check out the Arete. Keep up the good work!

I'd love to have the Arete, the unique shape is eye-catching and would be a great paddle to start a conversation with.

In it to win the Arete!

Arete is a really interesting looking paddle, hope it's not just a gimmick.

Definitely want to try the Arete! I bet my group would also love to check it out.

Arete is the one I'd like to try

Definitely want to try that Arete! Super different and I bet it's a lot of fun.

Maybe the Arete

I am most curious about the Arete. Started playing 4 months ago and happy I made the decision.

Would love to try the arete

Arete would by my choice

The arete looks so unique and fun!

Would give Arete a try

like Arete, good looking.

Arete sounds good! I can’t find the edge tape you were talking about online though

Telos. But it would be interesting to do a 1to1 comparison between the Telos and Arate. My skill level would probably say Scoria. 😅

Arete! Praying that I win 😅😊

Arete looks interesting! Thanks!

the arete looks fun to try!

Would love to have the Arete, unique shape is interesting to use

The telos has an interesting design

Arete 👍

Interesting paddles but think I would go with the Scoria

Arete!!

def a fan of the Scoria!!!

The Arete. Thanks!

I'm a fan of the Scoria!

Definitely the Arete!

Kind of torn between the Telos and Arete but probably Arete! Although I wish the Arete it has Telos's option for a 4.5in grip circumference, that's a big selling point for me. I'm curious if the spin, swing + twist weight are similar to the Arete, I didn't seem to see it.

In to win arete

arete!

What’s the core material made of?

How do you feel about Kevlar
