Quantum Pickleball Paddle JC003 - Featherweight Carbon Friction Textured Surface with High Grit & Spin and Agility, Super Lightweight Pickleball Rackets with Highly Flexible and Fast Shot

A very well made paddle with a great surface for producing a lot of spin. Very light weight for quick hand speed, and a big sweat spot for dinking and slowly the ball down.I'm a 3.5+ player and my game centers around control and positioning. I have the 13mm version and this paddle lets me have great control of play around the NVZ and excellent placement of my shots. If you are a basher and like to hit the ball very hard this paddle is NOT for you. And while you can generate a bunch of power, there are others (Selkirk "Air" series or Joola Ben Johns series) that produce mush more speed and power. But at a much higher price.The carbon fiber surface is capable of producing a lot of spin, but it takes some getting used to (especially if your upgrading from a beginners paddle).I've had this paddle for over 6 months and play 4 or 5 times a week. I use an over wrap to give the handle a little more tack. The surface is still in pristine condition even after the countless paddle smacks and congratulatory taps. I clean the surface after every days play and change the grip every couple of weeks.Overall this paddle is worth every penny.

Bought this as my upgrade from basic paddle. Ball comes of paddle with great pop. The spin level is off the charts. Combined power and spin created more service aces and winners. Took a little bit to control the power but was able to. I’m more of a banger than a dinker. Fits my game style well. Dinks and net play improved greatly too. I am now able to play and win against others I lost to easily. Highly recommend this paddle.

*update: the seller contacted me after reading my review. I did not reach out. The seller sent me a replacement paddle quickly, which seems to hit the ball very well with no vibration issues. THANK YOUoriginal review: lightweight paddle. Nice packaging, fast shipping, etcSeems solid but it vibrates like crazyI have bought and used more paddles than I care to admit but never had this issueProbably best suited for younger players who don’t mind the vibration, or maybe I just got a bad paddle

After seeing my bad review about inaccurate specs (purported to have grip of 4.15" and weight of 6.8-7.2 oz) and the actual paddle weighing more than 7.2 oz and the grip measuring 4.25" , company got in touch with me to try to make it right. They sent a paddle that still has a 4.25" grip and weighs 6.9 oz so a bit of an improvement.

Tried a few cheaper paddles. As an amateur beginner in the sport I don't need the best quality, but the cheaper options really are not fun when hit quality is compromised. This was best option for me and was recommended by a friend that plays regularly. My paddle and his are identical and consistent quality. Small sample size but I feel like their manufacturing process is consistent.
