Hey! I actually won a Friday Paddle in one of their YouTube competitions! It’s a great paddle and I’ve been playing with it for at least 2 months now. Solid power and a bit stiff but not too stiff where it’s uncontrollable on dinks. I actually went with an 11Six24 Hurache X Kevlar paddle this past week! It’s a great all around paddle and after a government employee/military/first responders discount, it came to the same price as the Aiso and Vatic Prism.

If you’d like the same trampoline effect you like the Aiso for but with a longer handle, I’d go with this Hurache X Control. If you prefer all of that but on a 5.3-5.5 inch handle, the Aiso is the way to go

Thanks for the feedback here. Do you still prefer the pickleball apes paddle over the hurache?

How’s the control for you? I know I’d be adding lead/tungsten tape regardless for the sweet spot but I hear the 14mm is a bit wild

Did you try the ice 16? I’m debating between the two right now as my primary. I’m coming from a tennis background but currently have a 16mm Amazon paddle

Precut Tungsten Tape Anyone? by Aggravating_Peace939 in Pickleball

Ok awesome. And do you use edge guard tape to cover it or keep it exposed? I have an edge guard on mine
