I am once again asking for another updated tierlist!

@jaronjones6277 Месяц назад

Agreed!!

@RacketsandRunnersPickleball Месяц назад

😭 Will do soon, I promise!

@conradleger8041 Месяц назад

Luca, I really hope they are paying you well at the store. You should have your own channel and be a full time paddle reviewer. By far one of the best RU-vid. I bought the J7K form you guys and it feels like it was built specifically for me. I was using the Vatic Prism flash before and thought I made a mistake by ordering the J7K, mainly because the J2K was always out of stock. I am so happy with the J7K. The control and power combination is exactly what I had hoped for. This review only reinforces how I feel about this paddle. Thanks for another great video. Keep them coming!

Love my J3K Pro but I did just order the J2K 14 mm. Hope I can become a good enough player to play these to their maximum advantage.

@richardwilliams3916 Месяц назад

Man what a great review.

@DJShiv29 Месяц назад

best pickleball reviews on youtube!!

@DianSusiana98 Месяц назад

Great video. I'd like to hear how these paddles compare to other brand paddles, such as Hudef.

@teslaed777 22 дня назад

Got the J7K first and loved it. Added lead tape. Liked it so much I also bought the J7K PRO. I could control it fine Love their paddles

@fratersol 10 дней назад

Where did you put your lead tape on j7k pro?

@teslaed777 6 дней назад

@@fratersol I put lead tape at the 9, 12 and 3 o’clock position of the paddle

@douglasmurdoch7247 Месяц назад

That’s interesting what you said about their stability. I’m guessing the vast majority of people will find the J3K the most stable, and the J7K the least stable. Most people correlate stability with anti-twisting sensation that comes from having a high twistweight. It sounds like maybe your sense of stability comes from a higher swingweight? More plow through?

@LouisBrown19 Месяц назад

Awesome review. These paddles are amazing but Hudef's paddle is more cost-effective. They are 30% off. I just bought the Mage Pro for $119.

@jephbrink Месяц назад

Thanks Luca! Great review. Would love to see you review the Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3 next. Curious how it compares with the R3 Nova.

@RacketsandRunnersPickleball Месяц назад

We don't carry them yet, unfortunately.

@sammoles5236 19 дней назад

Great comaprison video. How different is the power from baseline (like while serving) between the J2k and J7k? I see that you have j2k and j7k almost similar rated for power. Does that hold true in game play?

@davecho762 27 дней назад

Any thoughts re the soon to be released 14mm J2K?

@thomasyoung1588 Месяц назад

Great review. What Honolulu extended paddle has the most spin?

@RacketsandRunnersPickleball Месяц назад

Thank you and the J7K!

@thomasyoung1588 Месяц назад

Thnx for responding. Also do u know which will have more spin: J7K(red), J7K Pro(black) or J5K(17" long)? I'm only looking for the most spin in an elongated paddle. I Dont need power. I play only singles and only block volleys.(i dont swing or roll volleys so i like heavy). Currently using Gearbox Pro Control, which is a little too powerful for me. Trying to avoid buying all 3 of these Honolulu paddles to compare if possible😄. TQ

@ArianaWilson- Месяц назад

Thanks for your review. Could you do a review of Hudef Mage Pro Gen2? This is one of my favorite paddles.

@danmakesvideos3951 28 дней назад

please review thompson pickleball paddles !

@Skywalkin12 Месяц назад

Question on the j7k handle length. you said on the j3k that its listed at 6 but more like 5.5. is the same for the J7K?

@kimleith1378 Месяц назад

Great review as always Luca. Where is the Kevlar made? Try to review the THOMPSONs.

@CyberSonic157 Месяц назад

I'm pretty Kevlar is USA made.

@RacketsandRunnersPickleball Месяц назад

I think in the US!

@Hellopop626 Месяц назад

Is there a difference between the j2k and the dbd/ruby? Which would you recommend?

@AngryAsianVidz Месяц назад

J2k Pro vs Mark OneX, been having hard time deciding...

@RacketsandRunnersPickleball Месяц назад

I've only played with the J2K Pro so I really couldn't say.

@AngryAsianVidz Месяц назад

@RacketsandRunnersPickleball would you be able to review the Mark pickleball OneX against the J2K Pro?? Curious to your thoughts.

@corbanward31 Месяц назад

I've watched your tennis review videos for a while and recently switched from a Pure Strike to a Percept 97D. At the same time, I am getting more into pickleball. I've tried a Gen 2 Perseus but didn't feel like it let me take full controlled cuts (I know this is a tennis concept). Now debating between trying the Nova R3, Pulse FX.R3, Ruby, Double Black Diamond, 11six24 Hurache-X Control or Control+, Pro Line Energy S, and J7K. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! I live in the US and can't find anyone that demos the more "niche" brands. Thanks!

@RacketsandRunnersPickleball Месяц назад

Something with a Kevlar top sheet would be your best bet. The J7K is honestly great or maybe even the 11six24 Hurache X-Control.

@Amordil Месяц назад

So j2k is your go to paddle right now?

@alonsosanhueza1677 Месяц назад

what is ur current paddle? nice video dude

@yummybong148 Месяц назад

Are you guys going to get the mark oneX in though holding out in hopes for it but might have to buy a Honolulu

@RacketsandRunnersPickleball Месяц назад

We're trying but I'm not sure it's happening right now.

@DJShiv29 Месяц назад

The SLK Halo paddles are an affordable line from selkirk with a great design, can you review these to let us know how good they are maybe people who are new/medium skill level can look into them?

@HeavyAndLow Месяц назад

Way better options out there like the J2K

@JavinCarelse Месяц назад

non thermoformed, overpriced! Save some cash and get a vatic prism or spend a tiny bit more get a Honolulu

@RayCharound Месяц назад

i may have missed this, but curious your take on recommendations between j7k and j7k pro

@VietBong Месяц назад

The tighter kevlar weave on the pro version provides more pop/power and less control/stability

@RacketsandRunnersPickleball Месяц назад

A bit more power on the Pro but less control and even less of that soft spin I keep talking about.

@fabriziolombardo8428 Месяц назад

Can you review the Hurache X Control +?

@RacketsandRunnersPickleball Месяц назад

Yes, will do that one soon!

@vandyman50 Месяц назад

Interested to know how these compare to the Body Helix X-3 Pro?

@RacketsandRunnersPickleball Месяц назад

These are quite a bit more spin-friendly and especially user-friendly.

@TjEvo1 Месяц назад

I’d like to see a video demo’ing and explaining differences one can expect from choosing a 14mm vs 16mm paddle in thermoformed and non thermoformed construction.

@JaxxCrash Месяц назад

How are these vs ruby

@enzobot Месяц назад

really? the standard shape has a smaller sweet spot than the xtra elongated and hybrid also you find it less stable as well? usually arent those the selling points for a standard shape? weird.

@christopherdeavers1835 Месяц назад

Yeah this seems really weird to me too. Sounds exactly backwards from expectations

@douglasmurdoch7247 Месяц назад

He’s definitely a little confused on that one. The J3K has a higher twistweight, and twistweight is the source of stability, and sweet spot size. There’s no way the very long and skinny J7K is more stable and has a bigger sweet spot than the wide body J3K.

@jylarouche1151 Месяц назад

Could you review the Monarch from 11six24?

@RacketsandRunnersPickleball Месяц назад

Yes, we'll review it once we get them!

@flexico1670 Месяц назад

ordered the J2k 10 Days ago and it hasnt even shipped. Super disappointed

@Ri_Guy 10 дней назад

At the end of each review, just throw it on your current Tier List, so you don’t have to keep making Tier Lists videos.

@metal_bloo Месяц назад

This doesn't make sense. For carbon fiber paddles, the wide bodies are control for beginners and the elongated ones are harder to use power paddles for advance. Why is it backwards?

@1vegasdood 21 день назад

I really like your content delivery. I just ordered the J3K coming from a beginner Babalot (as a 20+ year Babalot tennis player) and felt I was finally ready in the 3.5-4.0 level to get a performance paddle. ****EDIT 090124 ---I received my paddle...plays good enough but what bothers me is you def don't notice this on the website but when you receive the paddle it has a christian bible verse reference stamped at the top. I have nothing against any organized religions but it is very disappointing to me that now by proxy I am promoting their beliefs. NOT COOL. It bothers me enough I will be finding a replacement paddle.
