I love power paddles because with great power comes great responsibility.

[Coach_Kevin_Jasper]

Love the sound of the Ronbus Ripple! The actual Ripples in the paddle are crazy!

[hikerchick]

The Olympus is also my favorite paddle. It felt great right away and no control is sacrificed. I think we should be a step below the joola gen3s for power

[twodubz]

I think the Mod TA is the most talked about paddle in my neighborhood these days. Everyone started practicing with their old Gen 3s, waiting for their Mods to ship lol. I’ve tried out the 14 and 16 MM and liked them both! I also have the Gearbox Pro, but I definitely prefer the Mod! Great power paddle review and I think you were spot on!

[MinsumChoi]

So excited for the ripple! I def think power should be capped around where the gearbox pro is though

[Mad_Mardigan]

Thanks for the video! I agree that power should be capped at the Gearbox Pro Power level. I feel like companies focusing on power is not in the right place. The game is not about power.

Great Review ! Thank you for sharing the Lead setup also. Muy bien ! Saludos from Panama.

[Nachos]

Great list!!! Power paddles save my shoulders not having to generate my own power;) Power should be capped at a safe level.

[AlanChang]

Power has gotten higher fast this year. I think it should be capped at the Joola Gen 3 Mod-15. We don't want to end up pickleball becoming a bullet dodging game.

[SteveandDebBentley]

I am a control player but starting to lean toward more power as the game is changing as more ex tennis folks are joining the game. Great timing on your video.

[FoxtrottHavoc]

Started with a legacy pro, went to a dbd, then a pro power, to a forza Mach 2, and now on the tko-cx. I think that power paddles are more fun. But the control paddles are more consistent and is better for my game.
I am at the point where I have to choose to either be a one trick pony or a well rounded player.

[samtrinh]

I naturally have a soft game so having a strong power paddle helps increase my drives power and makes my resets, dinks and counters way easier. I originally started with the gen2 perseus as my first but it just didn't have enough power, but super interested in the MOD-TA though but for now Paddletek gang!

I just played with the Mod TA-15 14mm last night and it is a surprisingly controllable hits-like-a-truck paddle. Returns were a little difficult to keep in but probably not too difficult to get used to. Volleys, drives and serves were excellent with surprisingly little swing required for how light the paddle is. Needs weighting at the lower corners and at sides for stability and to lower the balance point (a little head heavy stock). Only downside is that it has a pretty muted feel.

To give my thoughts about power paddles, I used to be about pure control (had a Neonic Flow) but as I’ve gotten better as a player they just doesn’t have the oomph to hang with more advanced players, High spin power-oriented all court paddles suit the evolving pickleball game better.

[luissosa]

I love the sport of pickleball and would love a good paddle since I haven’t buyed a spensive paddle, and this one looks 🔥

[AlTran]

Great video! I’ve been really growing my pickleball obsession with a bunch of paddle tech. As of now, power should be capped at the Gen 3 Perseus or Gearbox Power Pro. Saw a couple of people using them at my local courts and the amount of pop I see and hear is insane!

[iPhoneGamer]

No cap. Let the game and technology evolve as long as they are compliant :)

[jayboy]

After playing with control paddles for awhile now(Luxx Invikta and DBD) the power just feels good and feel great out on the court!

[morganmiller]

Been mostly playing with all court paddles, but would love to try a power paddle like the Joola Mod TA. From my experience playing against power paddles, the Gearbox definitely is a most powerful paddle, and seems like should be the limit.

[josearauz]

power paddles are my personal favorite because I hit more drives than anything, and I haven't really had a good paddle yet, so this would definitely be a game-changer for me

[robi.legend]

Only ever hit the illegal Perseus, but heard the Mod-15 is identical except slightly less grit, so still gonna be a banger. Nice list. Definitely wanna try all the Ripples, too. Thanks 🤙
