The ULTIMATE 2023 Pickleball Paddle Tier List! Part 2 | Rackets & Runners 

Volair Forza not ANYWHERE on the list. Why?

Thoughts on the following paddle grades please: Selkirk Labs 002, Selkirk Labs 006, Volair Forza Mach 2. Thx

I do wish the Electrum Stealth paddles had come out earlier.

I think you might have a typo, you have the CRBN3X listed twice. I think the one you rated as a B is actually the CRBN2X. Love your reviews, keep up the great work! 🙏🥊

How come that CRBN2X is just a B tier paddle? I thought it's a very good one.

I agree the C2 is superior over the Perseus. I think the surface is different much grittier, more power and more pop and spin as well.

If you are one of the many who paid a premium for this paddle and got a dud. And Gearbox won't stand behind the warranty. Simply file a claim in your community small claims court to hold them accountable.

If you think the V7 is good, you should absolutely try a Spartus Gladius Centurion. It's awesome

You need to test the new gearbox pro power elongated. Make sure to hit with it for at least 10 days so its broken in before you make your review.

How about the Selkirk power air?

Could it be that Joola improved the manufacturing process for both Perseus and Hyperion C2 recently so newer Perseus produced play similar to Hyperion C2? Or does it have to do with the paddle shape?

Thank you for your time and posting. So many paddles are coming out so quickly. I wouldn't say this is outdated at four weeks, but close. Thanks again. :)

I recently saw a guy review one of the top Selkirk paddles and he said it did not live up to his expectations. Later he came back and said that he had a chance to work with it and put some weights on it and all of a sudden he loved it. I have the carbon 2X. I added some weight to it and it improved it dramatically. He also stated that 90% of pros add weight to their paddles to customize it for their preference. So all base comparisons are somewhat moot because of the weight Factor. Correct?

Hey have you been able to test the gruvn muvn 13s? Very interesting stats on the paddle and tempted to get it however not many reviews

…muted, muted, muted lol. 🔇 I enjoyed the reviews.

I agree with your thoughts on most of these paddles and especially the ones I’ve played with. But then again, I’m also a former tennis player and tennis people seem to like similiar paddles. I usually agree with pickleball will’s reviews also… I try really hard to like the hybrid style or the almost hybrid style paddles and force myself to use them, but I always gravitate back to elongated… I think it’s because my strike zone is at the top of an elongated and with hybrid or smaller, it’s like I’m hitting frame because my brain is wired at a certain strike zone on a paddle…

Nova in the S tier was the main one I was shocked by.

R1 Nova vs Hyperion C2?

No labs paddles ? 005 006 ?

What shoes are you wearing ?
