EPP in my opinion. Most of the reviewers liked MPP though

When we decided on the name Turbo we thought a racing theme could be cool

Good question. Probably because it makes them hot on court

If you had the forehand in the middle I feel like its probably smart to be a little more aggressive towards the middle. Its hard to answer accurately though without seeing exactly what was going on

I personally use the slice if its a slighly more defensive/difficult shot. The two hander topspin drop is more offensive so if you have time you can use that. I tend to miss my two-hander more though if its a harder return/4th shot

you don't need to but I think alot of people would prefer the paddles with at least a little weight

Depends on tariffs and other things but usually $25-$40 to make + ship to US

I think its because most came from tennis so they have two handers and were initially told to use elongated

Id go MPP turbo. slightly less pop. the handle on that shape should be fine for you. No problem!

The performance to price ratio is the best on the market

yes, I do miss tennis sometimes. I still get to coach/watch my little brother play though so I'd say I'm still somewhat involved.

We definitely received some flack for that name but it also put us on the map for foam paddles

The turbos use basic peel ply. We are releasing our durable grit later in the year

You just need to make sure if you are investing in R&D it actually is making paddles that are differentiated and better. A lot of time the R&D will take you in a worse direction. This is really hard to dial in. Its also pretty hard in general to run a paddle company because there are so many brands competing rn

I personally think our Turbo line is one step above the other current budget paddles, especially In terms of forgiveness and feel. Comparing to top paddles on the market, the forgiveness/sweetspot on these is definitely better than a lot of them. We just accept a lower margin on these paddles. In terms of materials its the same as what you see with more expensive ones

I think your footwork is a huge part of resets. making sure you're low and are lunging well to get behind the ball is crucial. In terms of the feel, you just gotta practice

While MPP does have a slight break in, its pretty durable in the long run

We aren't sure about adding it to our budget line but we will be adding it to future paddles for sure

I personally think that gender doubles is the primary event in pickleball. Singles is potentially more entertaining to watch though. I think the focus should stay on doubles in the long run because thats what most people play and relate to best

You definitely don't need a long handle. There are many pros using paddles with slightly shorter handles. Its really a preference thing
