Pickleball Apes | 10% Off | CODE: PickleballWill

Checking out the Pro Line Energy and Energy S from Pickleball Apes. They came to market with a very eye catching kevlar x carbon fiber hybrid face. The question is if they are any good?

Will, thank you for warm feedback! We'll make sure to stand out more in the future releases 😃 7" Length x 17" Width coming next - Pro Line Energy Reverse!

In my paddle data analysis - Pickleball Apes Proline Energy S ranked 1st when comparing these four categories: spin, power, pop, and price. The pro line energy came in 11th. Very respectable among the giants. Raw data spreadsheet included 78 paddles and was provided by John Kew. Will, keep up the good work

I agree the proline e already has a fantastic sweetspot and i feel like its the extended length that makes it so special

Thanks Will, another great review. Recently picked up an Energy S (got tired of waiting for the Six Zero Ruby, to be available). All I can say is for my game it is an amazing paddle and has replaced the DBD, which I have used for the last year. For me the directional control, dinks, resets, hand speed and touch are beyond what I had with the DBD. Lacks the power (which I can generate on my own) and has less pop (which is good for my game).

Thanks for the review. Interesting, I really love my s compared to my previous ronbus r3 pulsar. But I play mostly doubles. I have never played th original, but should give it a try. I did weight it up a bit on the sides, so I think that makes the sweet spot similar to my r3, with much better touch.

Coming from tennis, the longer handle of the original proline energy was good for my two-handed backhand. The elongated shape also made the reach more similar on both wings as well. I have been using it since my transition and it has been great!

Another great content and review Will, I used your discount code to purchase the Pro Line Energy this week, can't wait to play with the paddles, I'm coming from tennis and have a blessed, wonderful, positive, productive, peaceful and safe week and weekend

Coming from the R1.16 which I very much like, it was causing problems in my shoulders from the shock coming from hitting the ball. My Pickleball Apes Power S has eliminated that for me and plays a bit better than previous paddle for me!

Hi Will, I’ve been using a DBD 14mm for a long time(absolutely love it). I switched from the legacy pro, the slow hand speed at the net and the tennis elbow(guess the swing weight was high for me) wasn’t helping. How does hurache control+ stack against the legacy pro or the DBD14? I personally don’t generate a lot of power, so I’m more of a control player. I generally play 3.5 doubles tournaments. Would appreciate any advise, looking for another paddle. Not sure if I just need to stick to my DBD14. Thank you.

[joshuapickett]

Which paddle would be your go to and why? The original pro line, R3 Pulsar, or Prism V7?

[Itskjb]

@pickleballwill do you have a video or recommendations for (extra) elongated paddles for tennis players getting into the sport?

[josegallegosdds]

Would you pick the 6.0 DBD over the Proline Energy?

[webstermiller]

Speaking of unique head shapes, I know you've got an Ethos Arete and I'd love to hear your opinion of it. It's become my #1 and I've never found the smaller face to present any issues whatsoever.

[CSAFMedia]

Can you do a ‘Kevlar Shootout’ review? Curious how this compares to the Ruby. 🤔

[kimleith]

I'm a 3K Carbon fan. Mixing it with Kevlar has me curious. Cheetah uses 3K on the face and Kevlar in the core.

[ZerpB]

Will, what’s your thoughts on apes vs the ruby (all Kevlar)?

[shipwreck]

Will can you do a review on the Hyperion

[martinlisk]

My Wukon is at level 58 .... hahaha ... IYKYK ... HAHAHA ... thanks for the review Will

[pickles]

I’ve got both. I love the Energy. Still getting used to the S. The original definitely has better touch. I’ve used a bunch of “power” paddles just to realize I’m better at dinker than driver.

[ModernCult]

It’s the opposite for me with the sweetspot 😅
