Another great content and Top hybrids comparison Jacob, so far I'm liking the Saga Flash SH so far I have put it 2+ hours playing time on the Saga Flash SH while playing with my novice league, just purchased the Spartus Olympus is coming this week can't wait to play with the Olympus

Played with the Vatic Pro Saga for the first time yesterday and love it. Not a fan of poppy paddles, the Saga performed exceptionally well at the net on dinks and resets. What I really like is I can rip topspin power drives and it will stay in play, unlike my R2 Ripple that usually sails out. My J2K is still my go to paddle, but with a couple more days with the Saga, it may replace the J2K.

Please review the new Engage Pursuit V2.0. Their new Hybrid paddle. I already bought it and love it. It will stack up well with these. Mine was a ridiculous 7.55 oz so weight is needed but swingweight is sub 112. Power and pop are top tier and is still very controllable. 15.2mm thickness is perfect for Engage core which is same as the Pursuit pro series. Great job on this video.

Excellent video! Those are all awesome paddles. Thanks for giving weight setups for tape and balance pods.

Heads up flow prime X is going for $100 right now for Black Friday, such a good deal!

[DroidX]

Waiting for my Saga and Flow Prime X to come this week. Should have both by Saturday can’t wait! Great video!

[ArianaWilson-]

Thanks for your sharing. Both the Flow Prime and HUDEF MAGE Pro Gen2 are my favorite.

[juansantiago]

What’s your weight setup/ recommendation for the J2k? I have one but, I’ve never liked mine not sure what everybody likes about it. It feels like an ok paddle to me.

Its nice to see so many high quality paddles that are sub $150. I have had the plain old J2 for about a year and hardly touch my 3 other paddles.

[davidjackson]

Great Review-I'm in the market for one of these. I wish we could have added to new Selkirk Vanguard All Court. With their lifetime warranty, I wonder how it compares? Thanks for the video.

[DianSusiana]

Good job. This is a nice cabinet for paddles. Like the J2K and HUDEF MAGE Pro Gen2.

[AlanChang]

Thanks for the hybrid shape comparison. I'm still enjoying my J2K pro looking for next thing. I am hoping for a slightly longer handle but may switch to try an elongated next if I cannot find a hybrid one with longer handle

[vanillaghetto]

Thanks, this was great. Would the J2K 14mm make the list? And if so, how would it compare? Thank you!

[christianeprice]

Man, I wish you could’ve included the invader and tell us about it but this is a great format. I love the comparisons so appreciate the info and all you do.

[MattyRut]

Nice round up! I’m going to try the Saga today, super excited to try it.

[fabioconceicao]

Great video Jacob! I’ve been tempted to buy the Olympus but I’ve heard that some people are having problems with the edge guard coming off and it breaking so I’m hesitant to. I came across a paddle that’s made in your neck of the woods which is a Thompson paddle. I was wondering if you would be interested in reviewing it.
Take care and keep on making videos!

[RokuX]

My J2Ti comes today! After a lot of research it seems like the best paddle to me rn. Very well rounded with great feel. Can't wait to use it soon 🔥

[biagiosguera]

looking for the perfect hybrid, have been playing with Olympus, great but has control issues even with weight (my Mod TA-15 stock is easier to control and is way too much), received the J2K today and getting the Flow Prime X tomorrow. I didn't by the Flare Prime X as I am power heavy and the reviews so far on the Flow have been very mediocre. I love how my Paddletek TKO-CX 12.7 grabs the ball, not to soft but feels like it pockets it. Can you tell me (obviously doesn't have top tier power and I can generate my own) how the Flow's surface compares to some of the paddles mentioned? I am stuck at 4.0+ and looking to move away from super power paddles as they are trapping me in having too much fun, but at the expense of getting to 4.5. I truly value your opinion and FANTASTIC, honest reviews and your weight set ups are spot on, I follow them to the T and they work. Thank you.

[Olorin]

Awesome video! I love the detailed weight setups and conparisons! Is there a wide body and elongated version coming?!

With the flow prime x being one of the newest releases on here, i was hoping to hear a little bit more of your thoughts on it and what to expect from it. I got it on the Black Friday sale for my girlfriend since she liked the shape of my j2k but the feeling off the face of my Monarch All Court, plus the Neonic Flow Prime X in Rose Gold is just very aesthetically pleasing for her lol.
