Vatic Pro Prism Carbon Fiber 16mm $99
Vatic Pro Carbon Fiber 16mm - Thermoformed $139
Vatic Pro Carbon Fiber 16mm - Thermoformed $139
Best all around paddle for the price.
The PRISM series is a holistically designed, reimagined paddle that is the benchmark for an affordable carbon fiber pickleball paddle
It brings to mind the Joola Ben Johns Hyperion CFS 16 which has almost the same construction but is retailing for $249

Vatic Pro Carbon Fiber 16mm - Thermoformed $139
Vatic Pro Carbon Fiber 16mm - Thermoformed $139
The V7 16mm paddle is the optimal intersection of Power, Grit, and Control. I have never tried this and do not understand the difference has to why it's $40 more.
TOP PRO PADDLES
JOOLA Ben Johns Hyperion C2 $249
Best Paddle, but over-priced. Paddle de-laminates with overuse and edge guard separates from paddle in corners.
Joola Ben Johns Perseus $189
Weird feeling and hurt my elbow
Joola Simone Jardin Hyperion $249
Not sure how much different than the
Ben Johns Hyperion
Joola Collin Johns Scorpeus $214
I don't see the benefit of the Square Head. It's alf an inch shorter and could create a bigger sweet spot.
2024 Selkirk LUXX Control $249
2024 Selkirk LUXX Control $249
If you are a banger this is your paddle. Less spin, but sheer driving power. The ball pops of this paddle.
PRO BALLS
Vulcan
New pro tournament ball. Limited distribution. ($3.50)
Dura Fast 40 (Onix)
Original pro ball.
Very hard, and takes getting used to for dinking. Early ball were a light yellow that was difficult to see. New color is brighter. ($3.47)
InterMEdiate BALLS
Franklin X-40
The X-40 is the standard for amateur outdoor and tournament play. Durable, but early batches were uneven. Easily cracks under 45 degrees. ($2.50)
Selkirk
Different size holes (38 in total), hard and rarely breaks. Great for cold weather, practice or public court use. Can create lots of spin. ($3.75)
Joola
Joola
Never tried this ball. ($3.25)
Beginner BALLS
Penn (Head Pickleball)
Beginner, soft ball with bigger and fewer holes for outside or inside play. Good for Har-tru and plastic courts. More forgiving. ($2.80)
Onix Fuse
Similar to Penn. Soft indoor/outdoor beginner ball. ($2.50)
OVERGRIPS
Tourna grip
Originally the first tennis overgrip. It's great for heavy sweaters, but is smooth and can be hard to hold if not. $2.88/each
Wilson
Best all around grip for comfort, control and hand feel. $1.58/each
Gamma
Gamma grips are a cross between Tourna grips and Wilson grips. Smooth but more tack than Tourna Grip, but less than Wilson $2.88/each
Babolat
Babolat has great name recognition from tennis and is the most expensive. Looks like Wilson, but never have tried it. $3.65/each
