Good paddle for some players

Fast shipping from Pickleball Galaxy! However, the Wave Pro was not suitable for my play. I felt it has nice soft touch play but when hitting firm shots there was not enough feedback and a very quiet hit to it. So Paddletek seems to have put good damping characteristics to it which is good for people needing vibration reduction for tennis elbow and other arm and shoulder problems. I also thought it was a little on the heavier side and I prefer a lighter paddle. I returned it to Pickleball Galaxy with no problem. You can try their demo program before buying - you get 2 paddles for a week and basically are paying only for the shipping. 3 stars for the paddle and 5 stars for Pickleball Galaxy.

I tried out a friend's paddle and liked it so much that I bought it. Great choice. I got the smaller grip and it's just right. The advice that PBG gives on size is helpful. Paddle came quickly too which is a bonus.

I bought this paddle after reading several reviews saying this was among the best finesse [control] paddles which is what I was looking for, and it has really helped my shot placement. It does seem a bit overpriced to me ,however it is made in the USA which counts in its' favor. I'm glad that I bought it.

A friend let me try hers, and I loved it. I think it's made my game improve, or maybe it's all in my head - either way. LOVE IT.

Love this paddle. I have purchased paddletek products for 6 years. I loved the tempest, the wave and now the tempest wave pro. Good feel for the soft game and I know the specs say less power but I feel more power with this paddle. The add on grip gives extra weight which helps my game. The customer service with paddletek is the best. 5 stars for the new wave pro paddle.
