The SixZero Double Black Diamond is undoubtedly one of the best paddles on the market, both in price and performance, and it has been my go-to paddle for the last month in all my drill sessions and high-level games.

With the success of the Head Radical Tour Co, I had high hopes for for the 2023 line of Head paddles, but unfortunately the Head Extreme Tour Max didn’t meet those expectations

One of the biggest changes to the CX14 Ultimate is the new swing weights. If you watched my CX11 review, you might remember that I said the reason Gearbox paddles lack power is that their swing weights were VERY low. Well, Gearbox must have agreed because the new models have gone up quite a bit.

I suppose this is why they say, "Don't judge a book by its cover." because I was wrong. The Legacy is anything but a regular raw carbon fiber paddle.

Wow, after nearly a year and a half, CRBN has finally released a new line of paddles. After the fiasco over the summer, I was curious to know how or if CRBN would survive. Even after releasing new compliant paddles, it seemed like the interest decreased significantly after Joola came into the picture.
CRBN just dropped the new Power series paddles (denoted with an X at the end of the name), and they are really good.

When Joola first announced their Pickleball paddle lineup, I was shocked that they didn't announce thinner versions of Ben John's signature Hyperion CFS. They had thick/thin versions of almost every other paddle except the Hyperion. Well, after many months, the 14mm is finally here, and it is really good.

This year Selkirk really stepped up their paddle game. In January of this year, they only had paddles that hit like pillows and had very poor spin, even with the release of the Vanguard 2.0.
Over this year Selkirk has made massive leaps in their product lines with the 002, 003, and Power Air. The only type of paddle they have been missing is a raw carbon fiber paddle (t700 carbon fiber) and now it is finally here.

The Electrum Model E is probably Electrum's most popular paddle they make. Personally, it's one of my all-time favorite paddles, so I'm excited that they finally made a thinner version of it because my primary issue with the 16mm was that it was just too soft sometimes.

If you are a player who wants more control in your game to dink, block and reset better, then you've come to the right place. Paddles all over the market claim to be the "perfect balance of control and power" all the time. So which ones are actually good for control?
