You're the first pickleball paddle reviewer I've seen use any ratio. Swing weight to Twist Weight is brilliant

[sam-yau]

Thank god for data-driven scientific channels like yours - absolute breath of fresh air! The majority of other channels try sound objective but just wind up falling into the pitfalls of anecdote. At least John Kew trends a bit more towards objectivity with his of the paddles he reviews, but it still boils down to a lot of platitudes on how things "feel".

[ceresimpaler]

This is how every reviewer is supposed to be, straight to the point!

[MarkLandis-mw]

in a YT market flooded with pickleball paddle reviews, your metrics and insights are helpful. Keep the videos coming

[ryanschubert]

There is a ton of pickleball content on youtube but I've found Dustin's data driven approach to paddle reviews to be the most objective! Subbed!

[Jodimeir]

I can always rely on you to post the most in depth and stats driven reviews. You are honestly my favorite Pickleball content creator.

[Kevin-tjfs]

This guy is the best up and coming reviewer in the PB community . I like how he is data driven and has short/ concise vids. Great job !

[bemplassery]

I like your honest, to the point reviews. I also perceive your presentation as unbiased and not trying to sell or promote any paddles, appreciate that.

[lesterzam]

Short, data-supported, I could watch it all day.

[MrGUSARIK]

It's absolutely fantastic to have statistically accurate comparison of the different types of paddles. Clarified a lot for me in the murky ocean of pickleball paddles. Appreciate all the work you do.

[matthewmuse]

I’m glad someone made a in depth comparison of carbon fiber vs Kevlar

[raeqllaguno]

Such a thorough coverage on the difference between carbon fiber and kevlar. I was very pleased that you mentioned the nuances of kevlar 14mm to 16mm - helped me so much on which to get

[masteringr]

Thanks for this comparison. For the swing weight:twist weight ratio you might want to split it out but shape since the shape of the paddle heavily influences those factors. You’d get smaller n’s but that would get rid of that confounding factor.

[aaronfuj]

Very interesting findings. It's crazy how many different qualitative and subjective differences each reviewer may have compared to the next about paddles, so anything more quantitative is always interesting to have

[alanpranke]

Wow, great data and presentation. I have found paddle performance data to be uniquely related to the individual. Swing weight above 115 is a drag for me. Likewise the comparison of power and control. My natural grip and mechanics absorb more energy therefore I lean toward power to help drop and dink success. Keep up the good work!

[salt_policy]

Thanks for the vid! Just picked up the J2 recently and saw this video. The sw to tw ratio definitely reinforced my decision. Just hope it comes soon!

[frenchdragon]

Beautiful breakdown. The master Paddle stat sheet is very helpful in making an informed choice depending on your play style.

[barkkk]

Fascinating. I didn’t think there was that much of a difference between carbon fiber and Kevlar, but the data backs this assumption. Guess it’s a Kevlar paddle for me next when I upgrade. Great work, keep the data-driven videos coming!

[daveyny]

Very comprehensive video comparing all the Kevlar options. Been using my J2K for about a week and really enjoying it!

[scottla]

Thanks for putting in so much work to provide data driven analysis for these paddles. I hope you have more similar videos in the future!
