Great paddle
4 out of 5 stars

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This paddle looks and feels sturdy, and the quality seems great so far. The design is sleek and it definitely seems like it could hold up well in games. However, they only sent me one paddle, which is a bit odd—how am I supposed to properly try it out and play with friends if I only have one? That part was a little confusing and is the reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5.
Comfy grip

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the handle grip of this paddle. It's very comfortable and is good quality. It doesn't feel like it will wear out. The paddle itself has a small grit to it and you don't have to over power the ball. It's a good paddle for hitting spins

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m a pickle ball player and usually I go for graphite paddles. This fiberglass paddle with max grit is comfortable to grip and not too heavy. The color palette is cool.
Great durable pickle ball paddle.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really liked using this paddle! Good material, grip and weight distribution. I used it last weekend and it definitely helped my game. I just don’t like the design, the honeycomb design looks dated to me.
Expensive but good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m new into pickleball and I’m liking this paddle. The surface has a texture almost like a light sand paper. I’ve noticed other paddles are just a slick surface. The grips on the handle make it very wary to hold even if your hand is sweating. I can’t get over the price of this paddle, however. It seems a bit expensive.
Happy with it!

The Pilot paddle is a good beginners paddle for the money. It doesn't have the dampening affect of my higher end paddles, but the surface has a good grip on the ball. The handle and paddle had a good feel.
