  • Cracked paddle
Color: Matrix Explore 003-Blue
Bought this paddle and liked it. However, after about a month, the paddle supports near one of the holes developed a crack. Contacted AMAsport and they sent me a replacement paddle within a week. Excellent customer support.

  • Edge chips easily.
Color: Matrix Explore 002-Silver
Paddle is great. Lightweight good power and control. Only drawback is the fact that the edges chip easily. Others have said that as well and I confirm it from my use.

  • Really good.
Color: Matrix Explore 002-Silver
I bought this paddle and it compares perfectly well with the paddles some other players in our group bought. Looks and feels and sounds exactly the same. For the other paddles, one guy paid $350, and the girl paid $260. Suckers! ;-)

  • Not durable and Amazon replacement sent the wrong paddle.
Color: Matrix Explore 002-Silver
Read some good reviews on the paddle so decided to give it a try when it was half off. The paddle felt good and fit me well. However, the surface and the edge had a few chips after just a week's play, as other reviewers said. I thought maybe it was just this one so I requested a replacement. Amazon sent me a totally different paddle that looked used. Will just return it and get a Selkirk luxx now. ... show more

  • it looses its grit thus spin very fast...
Color: Matrix Explore 002-Gold
The paddle is well designed and plays or played well for a light weight paddle. I was looking for a spin paddle and this one had originally so much grit on it it was unbelievable.This player had one and tested it so I bought one as well.He told me make sure you buy one made in USA . Well, no so fast ! After just playing 6 days about 3 hours each I just could not get spin anymore and noticed the grit in the middle became dull. Very frustrated when you rely on spin on most of the shots.I was told to buy one made in USA and I saw USA on the handle assuming it was made in USA Very misleading to say the least..I think it is made somewhere else as they seem to be ashamed to state the country of origin. I think China can make very good products.So a waste of money for me. If you do not rely on spin it is a very fast paddle being light weight .The control is lacking but expected on a thin paddle.Very maneuverable. ... show more

  • Played well, not very durable
Color: Matrix Explore 002-Gold
Felt comfortable using the paddle right away. It felt solid as I played with it. But after playing just 2 days with it, I noticed the edges chipped on various spots. This didn’t seem right as my old paddle had no chips on the edges at all after months of playing with it. For the ability of the paddle 5 stars For the durability of the paddle 1 star ... show more

  • Under priced for the quality
Color: Matrix Explore 002-Silver
I have a top of the line pro paddle that cost me $250 and I absolutely love it.. its a control paddle but I wanted a power version and didnt want to spend another $250 so I looked for a similar edgeless paddle with air flow with a longer profile. My feeling was if I like this longer version and I like it I'll consider buying the better paddle... HOWEVER, this paddle felt every bit as good as my top line and at a considerably lower price. The biting surface is excellent... really great for spin shots and the handle length is perfect both for single and double backhand shots. Extremely comfortable and could easily sell for much more... seriously you will not make a mistake in getting this paddle !! ... show more

  • Good paddle, but not showing on USA Pickleball approved paddle list
Color: Matrix Explore 003-Cobalt Pink
I absolutely love this paddle!! Great for the money. You will want to add tape around at least the top edge. If you don't, it will chip, as many reviewers stated. I played in a tournament, they did allow it, but it was a hassle! The company needs to get it on the list of paddles approved by the USAPickleball. They state it's approved, but it's not showing on the list. PLEASE GET IT ADDED!! ... show more
