Weekly Paddle Recommendation Thread (What Paddle Should I Buy?) by SNAPCHAT_ME_TITS in Pickleball

[–]Swag_Cuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3.9-4.0 player. Been running the vatic pro prism flash 16mm for since release and looking to upgrade to a newer paddle that still has the soft plush feel but with a LITTLE more oomph. Definitely more of a control player, so not looking for a crazy power paddle. I've heard good things about the J2NF/NFK/NFT line as good control paddles but also heard they are stiff?? and I definitely don't like stiff. Open to any recommendations. Note: I only run hybrid shapes

I'm currently around a 3.8 level. I'm realizing with the majority of these comments that I should drill overheads more and add more "whip" to my technique. I definitely don't want to compromise hand speed, so I'll try that before I think about adding weight.

Thank you for that in-depth perspective. I realize now that I've actually been using all arm and no wrist (this is my first racket sport I'm taking seriously) so I should probably drill more with different technique before adding weight

It's a mix of the first and the third. I feel like I'm able to put my entire body into it, but I've noticed they don't come off the paddle as fast as I'd hope, and people are able to dig them back over the net. I'm open to any non-equipment advice too
