Great paddle! Good spin! I love it!

In context I am a decent pickleball player (not great but decent) I’ve been playing a couple years now and have been through a couple paddles so far , I had some over the $200 range. And they were very good paddles and serve me well but a friend I played with had this paddle and he seemed to have very good control with just about everything he tried to do with it . I have to say this guy was probably a 3.5 + player and is very good and he could probably play just as good with a starter paddle. So I purchased this and tried it out it took a couple rounds to get the feel of it but after that , it was great. I don’t know if it is just that my old paddle just got soft or what. But with this paddle I dint have to hit quit so hard as my old paddles. The surface is finely textured and makes a great sinning back hand along with great serving ability. Again I’m not a pro so I’m not sure if my inproved game is just that or is it in my head , but I’m very happy with this paddle and it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg either.

Most of it's 8 oz of weight is in the handle. Hits nicely with power. The grip is large. I found the handle too large and heavy for my medium sized hand and it created cramping and pain in my hand. Otherwise, the actual paddle is great!

This is now my go to paddle for competition. I have been playing with the $200+ paddle for last couple of years. I’ve been known as the banger in my community. I’m getting ready to play in the 50 plus 4.0 level. This paddle has totally changed my game from a hard hitting banger to all around more controlled player. This paddle has insane spins and control. The paddle was light for my swing style, so I used some lead tapes customized for my game. Also, by adding some extra weight gave more power to my game. I usually don’t like to leave reviews, but my pickle ball team members can’t get over how much my game has improved for the better since switching to the Professor paddle. I highly recommend to anyone who wants game changing paddle at a price that can’t be beat. It’s awesome. Give it a try. 👏👍

So to summarize the video. If you are a novice or intermediate player and your still looking for a great paddle that you can advance your game with and not spend 200, 300, or 400 dollars, the Professor PHD is a great all around paddle at a cost of 99 dollars. Like all new players, as I started getting better and playing more competitive I wanted a better paddle but wasn’t sure what to buy. I spent hundreds of dollars on many different paddles and couldn’t find one to fit what I wanted, until I found the Professor PHD paddles. This paddle has a great pop when hitting power shots and a real positive feel of the ball on the paddle for better inking control and this raw carbon super spin paddle really grips the ball and allows you to get amazing spin. In the video you can see the curve and sideways hop on the ball. Don’t waste anymore time and money looking for the right paddle, Go buy yourself a Pickleball PHD today and elevate your game.

I'm a lifelong racquet sports fanatic who has taken up pickleball seriously for the past 6 months. As a rapidly improving Intermediate, I own over a dozen paddles, and enjoy playing pickleball daily with my variety of racquet styles and sizes. I was excited to try out the raw carbon PhD, which is Professor's flagship model. It came nicely boxed (suitable for gift-giving) and well-protected. The inclusion of a paddle cover would have been a nice bonus; but to me that's not a deal breaker, as many $200+ models don't add a free cover. I removed the PhD from the box, gave it my favorite Continental shake-hands grip, and did a few air swings. Disappointingly, the paddle felt swing-weight heavy, while the handle seemed bulkier than the advertised 4.25". Sure enough, my measurements confirmed this first impression. (See photos.) Paddle weight was 8.3 ozs (vs. 8 ozs in the company description), and grip circumference was 4.5" clearly more than the advertised 4.25". I found the paddle too bulky, and the thick handle, with its annoyingly pronounced edges, too uncomfortable to hold and swing. Therefore, I made the decision to process a return, without even trying it out a single time on the courts. It's a shame because I was able to pick it up at a discounted price on Amazon Prime Day. More importantly, from every other aspect, the PhD looks like a solidly built item, with very gritty surfaces to enhance spin. It is also very pleasing aesthetically, with its Joola Hyperion hybrid contour, and attractive graphics. For these reasons, I feel it only fair to give the Professor PhD a higher than one-star rating. I sincerely hope this startup company improves and upgrades its premium model with a better, less bulky grip, in which case I would be happy to give it a thorough usage test and review.

So far I have played with this paddle for three hours. It is all I expected, control, power, and spin. It feels lighter than I expected because it is 8.2 oz versus 8.0 oz of my previous paddle. I am not feeling the extra .2 oz. The handle is a larger diameter. I plan to keep it.

I've only used it a couple days and the jury is still out on it. I like the feel and the weight of it I'm just not sure if it does anything for my game yet. I'll give it a couple weeks to see. I do know that I have to hit harder to get it to go where my other paddles would normally end up. I notice it on my serve especially. I'm pretty good at landing them within a foot of the baseline but to do that with this paddle I have to hit much harder. Not sure why that is. I just realized too that the actual paddle is smaller than my others. Length and width. Which seem odd to me I thought the surface area had to be a specific overall dimension. I didn't think the longer handle would have an affect on that but maybe it does.
