Never apologize for long videos. I love them.

@barkkk191 21 день назад

Please keep making comparison videos like these; reviews are nice but comparisons w/ data make it so easy for me to make a decision when I’m buying a paddle

@not.traffic 20 дней назад

After watching this video, I like the MarkOne, J2K, Hurache-X Control 14, Lazer 16X, VivaPro G3, and Apollo. And the J7K/Pro. There are so many good paddles!

@Palace.Pickleball 20 дней назад

Thanks for all the hard work you've obviously put into this project. It's very appreciated.

@SKe711 21 день назад

WHAT A REVIEW/RANKING VIDEO! i thought i knew quite a bit of the Kevlar paddles out there, but you helped me know about 2 that i didnt know about! thanks!

@danapple5 20 дней назад

Such good, detailed information. Appreciate your work compiling and testing everything.

@corbanward31 8 дней назад

I’m a tennis player who has recently had gotten more into pickleball and in turn gotten way to deep in pickleball gear. I’ve been trying to find a new paddle and been debating Kevlar. These last two videos have been amazing in helping me find the differences.

@wingng5024 20 дней назад

@jsbjr710 20 дней назад

Very thorough and in depth analysis. Much appreciated!

@sunilsidhwani4757 19 дней назад

You have a way of thoroughly detailing each review which makes it all the more convincing on whether to or not to go for a particular paddle.

@utusmc 20 дней назад

been playing with the j2k and I agree with your assessment of all court leaning control. great review!

Great review as always! Very impressed with the detail and comparisons.

@any 20 дней назад

Wow this was a fun video to watch. I can tell you put in a lot of time and thought into this.

@keithheintzleman7831 13 дней назад

Thanks for an excellent series of reviews. I found your organization by value, and then by power helpful, since friends often ask me what to buy. I presently use a Ruby, and I'm weighing my options for my next paddle. I'd be interested in seeing your thoughts on the low swing-weight Pikkl Hurricane 16 mm paddle (Tyra Black plays with the 14 mm version), which has top-tier power and spin, unusual for a Standard Shaped paddle.

@arctic9804 6 дней назад

Great video! This really helped me pick which paddle I’m going to get!! Thanks for the awesome content!

@johntea8082 20 дней назад

Awesome work! Much dedication to put all this together. Thank you for fueling the paddle addiction lol

@paullin2844 20 дней назад

Thank you for the detail reviews!

@dwsarmy 20 дней назад

Can't get enough of your reviews! I was skeptical about going to kevlar because of the pop and power but your breakdown has got me convinced to try out kevlar. I am a Honolulu pickleball company supporter to the max I love the J3 for indoor play and the J2 for outdoor play. I can't wait to try the J3k, J7K, and the J2k.

@PickleballMedicine 20 дней назад

Honolulu is a solid company, definitely in my top few to work with! They make great paddles and they care a ton about their customers.

@waynekurtz660 20 дней назад

I don't need to buy a new paddle! Stop making me want to buy more with your excellent reviews!

@rplusmphoto 11 дней назад

Thanks for a thorough breakdown of the kevlar paddles... learned a lot and looking into adding one to my bag.

@danpiedra3910 17 дней назад

Excellent video!! Well done. I’ve been using the tapes PLE since July 2023 and love it. More recently I’ve started using the J7K and love the extra pop of it.

Great comparison and review. I am looking at j2k as my next paddle. ❤

@austindickenson8168 20 дней назад

Awesome work! Anytime I thought of a question you would pop up with the answer a few seconds later. Great review/comparison for a ton of paddles in a relatively short amount of time.

@dnhd_ 19 дней назад

I like how informative these video are. Keep it up with the video

@henry0712 20 дней назад

Great review. My wife plays with the Mark One and loves the blend of power, pop, and control. This paddle upped her game, immediately.

@debrafarkas6262 9 дней назад

really helpful- ready to try some!

@TheUnreadNovel 20 дней назад

All of these comparisons are just making me want to spend money 😂

@PickleballMedicine 20 дней назад

haha truthfully, sometimes if a company is taking too long to send me a paddle, I get too impatient and just buy one myself so I can get it faster... 😂

@JaLock501 2 дня назад

This is the first I’ve heard of the Ethos Dunamis. It is a really interesting paddle. I’m interested but I want to see more. Please do a full review when the official release drops

@PickleballMedicine 2 дня назад

You bet! I touched base with the owner, and he reports they should have some production-level models to send out here in a day or two. Stay tuned!

@tylerhilgers8196 21 день назад

Love this! This review is exactly what I’ve been looking for - tons of Kevlar paddles side by side. Would love to win something. Thanks for doing the giveaways!

@timmymann8 4 дня назад

Thinking of switching to Kevlar. Would love to try one of these before buying. Thanks for the reviews.

Mega cool review

@yesyestraining 8 дней назад

Love this!

@QuentinWalls 21 день назад

Great review as always, but you're not helping my paddle addiction issues! 🤣 I'm really enjoying the J2K so far.

@PickleballMedicine 20 дней назад

hahaha, I think this video itself is evidence you and I have the same problem... 😅

@ToJoMayer 19 дней назад

Great offering. I bought a Ruby last November, when it first came out. It turns out that my daughter got pregnant with twins in December, and unbeknownst to me, she had already picked out Ruby as the name for her daughter. God willing, in a month I’ll have a granddaughter named Ruby. Of course, I cannot ruin the paddle, so I’ll retire it, hang it in her room, and buy another one. This examination is just what the doctor ordered. I will examine it closely to find my next Kevlar paddle. Right now, the first two in the video seem to fit my style. Thanks Pickleball Medicine.

@ArianaWilson- 20 дней назад

Great video. My friend bought a Hudef Viva Pro Gen3 from you.

@htdinhusa 20 дней назад

Thank you for the review. This is a lot of information to chew on. Would like to hear how you would compare the J3K to this list of paddles.

@D3p1xel8 20 дней назад

Excellent content. Do we need to fill out the Google form for this video if we already filled out the Google form for part 1?

@PickleballMedicine 20 дней назад

thank you very much!! And no, you should be set after the one entry. Good luck!!

@sjjohnny 15 дней назад

Nice reviews, data driven and concise. I wish you'd review Juciao paddles - they have a following, have USAPA approved paddles, and manufacture the Selkirk import line... and I'm sure other lines as well. Thanks.

@robtemp4727 17 дней назад

nice overview of kevlar paddles

@timbranson1386 17 дней назад

3.5 - 4.0 player here (depending on the day ;-) I tried a demo of the Gruvn' LZR-16 yesterday and really I liked it - I think. I say that bc it was a really humid day and the grip, in addition to being on the small side for me, is slick as hell! Had a tough time holding on to it. Obviously needs an over grip, but one would think a little better grip would come with it. That said, when I was able to get it dried between every other point, I liked it as an all-court paddle bc I'm neither a total power or control player, although tend to the control side. I don't know about the comparisons, but I think your review is close to what I experienced. Great reviews! Thanks!

@allanparadise 12 часов назад

Love the J3K

@dinryu 19 дней назад

So many to consider

@PanamaLou-zk3xe 20 дней назад

Doctor great videos ! Thank you for all the time spent. One question Sir: would love for you to add, as soon as you get it, the new B&B Fat Boy please. Very curious on your expert opinion after spending so much time with all these Kevlar paddles. To know your very appreciated thoughts with regards to all these. Another question Sir: what happened to Onix? The old Onix Evoke Premier 13mm and 16mm used to be my favorite paddles some years ago and now nothing from them? Hopefully like Paddletek, they can make a comeback. Keep up the great work Doctor. Saludos from Panama.

@PickleballMedicine 20 дней назад

Thank you very much, I appreciate that!! and for sure, I can do that. I actually just got the FatBoy in yesterday, so I'm excited to see how it stacks up. As far as Onix.. man I have no idea! I feel like they haven't put a lot of work into innovation in the past number of years, but it would be cool to see them come up with something new and adopt one of these new materials for their paddles or something.
