I enjoyed this fast roundup of all these different paddles! I think sometimes I’m not interested in going so deep into all the technical stuff about the paddle materials, but I just want to hear how they feel, play, etc, so I can make a quick evaluation for myself. Thanks for all you do to make breakdown all these choices and make it easier for us to choose paddles. I find the number of paddle choices completely overwhelming and I like that you make it easier to understand and choose to get the most value for our money.

I enjoy the roundups for general info and comparisons, but I still prefer the dedicated reviews for the paddles I'm interested in. Still trying to decide if I'm upgrading from the J2K to the J2Ti.

So many hype paddles from shapes, materials and cost.
Thanks for helping decipher the complexities 👊

[DebMcQuillen]

I like the format of the quick hit reviews of multiple paddles while also letting us know when a full review is available. It provides us with the highlights and then we can decide if we want to see a more complete review.

[stuckintraffic]

i enjoy this format and the idea of doing deep dives to get a quick summary of your thoughts in a quickly digestable format. appreciate that you comfortable going against the grain as well.

[bethr]

I like that your do your homework with user polls and that you address value for price in this video. This was very comprehensive. Thank you.

[cmaden]

Loved this format! Please do more of these types. It gives people a chance to see what you’re working or perhaps hear some quick thoughts about a paddle that might not make the cut of getting a full review video.

[scottdvorak]

Interesting take on the Chorus Shapeshifter. Most reviewers liked it quite a bit. Good to know you aren't swayed by other reviewers opinions. Enjoyed your J2KTi and Neonic Flare reviews. Keep up the good work. I'll keep an eye out for the Monarch reviews.

[haydenlipsey]

Love the video. I enjoy videos that reference lots of paddles and give details but not crazy amounts. Offering those on the side if desired. Makes it easy to share with friends when they ask about paddles and how they stack up.
Keep up the great work

Great round up review! Particularly interested in the Shapeshifter and it's a good to hear what you don't like about it

[jaredthorpe]

Hey Dustin, love the format! These roundup type videos are what initially brought me to your channel; they are SUPER helpful when trying to figure out what paddle to get. That said, they would be even more helpful if you included an overall summary at the end, something like a chart with grades/scores for power/pop/spin/etc. Not necessarily a direct head to head comparison, but something to highlight how the paddles stack up next to each other. Keep it up!

[drewhuang]

Love the format, feel like most paddles don’t need a full video so a format like this is nice to get info on a lot of paddles.

[Piper]

Like the format. Also agree with your comment about paddles over 180.00. So many good options under 150 like the ones you’ve highlighted.

[barney]

Thanks for the Round-up review. I like the format, which provides a good snapshot of a number of paddles. That said, I also greatly appreciate your individual paddle reviews, which are comprehensive and informative.

[KaLee-gcoq]

I like this format, where you give quick opinions on various paddles. It's a good supplement to your regular single-paddle reviews.

[KvLamchops]

These types of videos are pretty efficient in presenting all types of paddles! Thanks for the video!

[PopDopBop]

Liked the format of the video! Really interested to see the difference in "fresh" paddles vs. "broken-in" in your upcoming video. Really useful to know how the paddles will actually feel and perform for the majority of their lifespan!

[mikeman]

I like the round up review! Definitely a great, quick snapshot of paddles and gives a good preview of what’s ahead or what to look out for. Excited for the “titanium” paddles and the ripple!

[luisaquino]

J2Ti just made my next choice more difficult than it needs to be. Now debating on purchasing the J2K/pro or Ti. Thanks for time in reviewing all these paddles.

[mrpapijoe]

great round up! I like this format, its a great way to quickly learn about some of the quality paddles out there on the market atm. With all the new releases it can be easy to miss some in the wave of release announcements
