@@tsongaNdance I don’t have a machine yet, but hope to purchase one soon. They’re just a little pricy. Doesn’t look like another reviewer with a machine has checked this one out just yet. I’ll keep my eye out for some more #’s, though, and circle back!
Ruby + Infinity is awesome. And as appealing as being a power player is, I am probably a control-leaning player as well. So, this paddle is going to be better for me than the CF3, if I'm honest with myself. Nice short & sweet review. Thanks.
Looking for a good control paddle. I'm curious to compare it with my current paddle. I'm starting to like paddles with longer dwell time. Thanks for the review!
I am a fan of the KC Chiefs, Kind Koffee Company (Kind KC), Kauai Coffee Company, Java Kai Coffee, and KC Hilites (they claim to be the “original” but I was established before them.) :)
I like the fact that it’s edge less and making it lighter feeling is great for us older players looking for more hand speed . Would love to try this paddle
Thanks for your review! The KC1 would be a great paddle for my play style! I have a paddle but would like to have another option in my bag to up my game!!!
Thanks for the video. It is interesting to hear tgat all of the different components equate to a more control oriented paddle that is elongated and edgeless. Very interesting!
I like paddles that have a longer dwell time because they are more forgiving. I haven't tried anything from 6.0 or anything edgeless yet, but based on this quick review and your tendency to favor the same paddle types as me, I would like to try this paddle.
I want this paddle as your arguments were convincing me to reconsider the Six Zero Ruby for the marginally higher price points along with the lack of needing to adjust the setup using a weighted tape to modify the core and sweet spot. A Kevlar Paddle with better control is what I'm lead to believe this paddle to be out of the box and I look forward to getting it for my game going forward. Thanks for the review @Matthew K Pickleball.
Love the short, but informative review. I would like to win this bc I do not have an edgeless paddle and would benefit from it being control oriented and lighter swing weight.
Would love to add this to my arsenal. It’ll be my first edgeless one and love the tech behind it. I’m also control leaning player and prepping for my first tournament taking place end of October! Keep up the great content 🤜🏼🤛🏼
I would absolutely love this paddle. I like the fact that it's edgeless and especially that it's thermoformed. I've been playing pickleball for a while but don't have anywhere near the money to buy a paddle as nice as this especially given how high the prices of other premium paddles similar to this one are in comparison, so winning a free paddle would mean the world to me and totally improve my ability to play the game. (P.S. I I love the paddle review content Matthew; keep it up
I liked the Ruby but didn't find it significantly different than my 16mm DBD. An "edgeless Ruby" like the KC1, is an awesome idea. I like the potential for quicker hands at the net with a little wiggle room for weight customization.
KC 1 looks very interesting, I’m normally not a fan of edgeless paddles due to lack of perimeter weighting but a 6.5+ twist weight seems stable enough for me! Great review
I'm interested in this paddle because of the control. I've been leaning more and more towards control paddles these days and I've seen my game improve.
It’s definitely a very interesting alternative to the Six Zeros. It’s also quite a good looking paddle. One question is if you compare it against the Six Zero Ruby, is it more powerful/poppy?
I don’t have a Ruby, so not too many touches with it TBH. I’d say it’s more plush than Honolulu’s J2K if I had to do a comparison without playing with them back to back. Hope that helps!
I’m very interested in seeing what former 6.0 folks can create after they go out on their own. An edgeless paddle with Kevlar at a reasonable price…sign me up!
Hi! Control is my game. Sounds like this would be the perfect paddle for me. I have been looking for a carbon/kevlar paddle. Would love to win this one.
Nice to see an edgeless Kevlar. Love all my 6.0’s (DBD/TBD). Haven’t tried an edgeless yet, just got a week with my first Kevlar, J2K. Would be interested on how this would compare to a DBD/J2K
@@MatthewKPickleball loving it now, after I added 3g to each side of the corners near the throat. Prior to adding weight I was hitting everything out of bounds with serves/drives. With the weight it muted it a bit just like my DBD.
