  • Under priced for the quality
Color: Matrix Explore 002-Silver
I have a top of the line pro paddle that cost me $250 and I absolutely love it.. its a control paddle but I wanted a power version and didnt want to spend another $250 so I looked for a similar edgeless paddle with air flow with a longer profile. My feeling was if I like this longer version and I like it I'll consider buying the better paddle... HOWEVER, this paddle felt every bit as good as my top line and at a considerably lower price. The biting surface is excellent... really great for spin shots and the handle length is perfect both for single and double backhand shots. Extremely comfortable and could easily sell for much more... seriously you will not make a mistake in getting this paddle !! ... show more

  • Good paddle, but not showing on USA Pickleball approved paddle list
Color: Matrix Explore 003-Cobalt Pink
I absolutely love this paddle!! Great for the money. You will want to add tape around at least the top edge. If you don't, it will chip, as many reviewers stated. I played in a tournament, they did allow it, but it was a hassle! The company needs to get it on the list of paddles approved by the USAPickleball. They state it's approved, but it's not showing on the list. PLEASE GET IT ADDED!! ... show more

  • Surprisingly great!
Color: Matrix Explore 003-Blue
I have more expensive paddles which I like, but wanted to try the more aerodynamic design of this paddle and it hasn’t disappointed. I really like not having that band on the edge as well. It’s light, has good power and control. Worth every cent!

  • Starting chipping right away
Color: Matrix Explore 003-Burgundy
I like having the extension and how light the paddle is, however, the edges of it started chipping right away with use. And that is just with normal play. No hitting the ground.

  • Played well, not very durable
Color: Matrix Explore 002-Gold
Felt comfortable using the paddle right away. It felt solid as I played with it. But after playing just 2 days with it, I noticed the edges chipped on various spots. This didn’t seem right as my old paddle had no chips on the edges at all after months of playing with it. For the ability of the paddle 5 stars For the durability of the paddle 1 star ... show more

  • Way thinner than described, prompt customer service
Color: Matrix Explore 003-Yellow
I tried using this paddle for a couple weeks, but I'm not a fan of it. I went back to my less expensive paddle that has a better build quality. I was hoping it would be thicker. I looked at the specs and thought it was thicker. My friend purchased another model from the same manufacturer and it cracked the first 5 minutes of using it. I hope to try some other models to see if they ate better. Update: The seller was nice enough to send me another paddle to try and happier with it. I appreciate the customer service ... show more

  • Pickelball paddle
Color: Matrix Explore 002-Gold
I bought the paddle almost 3 months ago and played with it several times. It does have too many dead spots especially near the edges. The sweet spot is just few inches above the handle and not in the center! After I brought the defect to the seller, they immediately rectified the issue by sending a new paddle, excellent customer service - responsive & prompt. ... show more

  • Decent for the money
Color: Matrix Explore 003-Burgundy
I wanted an elongated paddle and this one had good reviews. So far I like it but it has some dead spots and most importantly, it needs to have tape put in it because it chips easily.
