RAV PRO Pickleball Paddle - Ultimate HIGH END 16mm Japanese Toray T700 Raw Carbon Fiber CFS w/Excellent GRIT Roughness Texture, Aero Dynamic Curve, USAPA Approved, Non Slip Grip

This paddle plays very well especially considering how much it cost. I've tried several types of paddles since starting pickleball and this paddle is by far my favorite. The carbon fiber surface produces very good spin and lasts a lot longer than the graphite coated paddles. I am able to control the ball and dink much better with this paddle than my other paddles. There is also a decent size sweet spot for the paddle. I would definitely recommend this paddle for beginner or intermediate players who are looking for a paddle that will perform well, has excellent grip, but doesn't break the bank.Hisk Support was also amazing when I had a question about the paddle. They were very responsive and thorough in answering my question. Excellent support!

This is a paddle that I think would be great for beginners,Intermediates or advanced.It is light weight, well balanced and has a good sweet spot and well as power.I just ordered my second one because I wanted a backup and was afraid it might take too long and didn't want to be without this great paddle.The carbon Fiber offers great spin and control and not at the expense of power.Another note their customer service is excellent as I had a small problem that they addressed immediately to my satisfaction, they care and so should you.High quality product at bargain price !

Ok, I've literally just come off 2 hrs of non-stop play. I was using borrowed SILKIRK 16mm LUXX CONTROL AIR paddle, and an MX PRO paddle both worth north of $250. I did this as I wanted to really see if I could feel a difference with this HISK RAV PRO, and well yes, I could feel a difference. BUT in the sense that while the expensive ones feel great and sound great and just work, they really don't work that much better that my Hisk can't handle the same way. To be honest it's carbon hitting plastic, and at one point the marketing machine gets the best of us with innovation this and innovation that. Bottom line is this paddle rocks, it's $45 on the regular, it has great control, lots of spin, good looks and plays well. If you want more power add some lead strips and bam! oh and it comes with cool stuff like a cover, face cleaner rubber, sweat band and extra grip. Beat that!just go out have fun and don't over think it. It's pickleball after all.

This paddle hits pretty much every wish on my paddle wish list: it generates tremendous spin, is a manageable weight, has a good balance between control and power, and is a great price for the quality. I've been playing pickleball for a bit over 2 years. I'm always on the lookout for the best paddle (for me). I've previously played with Prince Response Pro and Paddletek Bantam TS-5 paddles, and briefly with a Diadem Icon, and this one beats them all for less than half the price. I play pickleball about 5 days a week and this paddle is still performing very well after hundreds of games. I've seen other players with this paddle and they like theirs as much as I do.

I watched a few youtube videos and decided to get the Hisk. Love this paddle. Great value, feeling, weight and thickness, and mine came with an cleaningeraser. I've only been playing for a few months and this replaced my starter set. It's a definite upgrade!Also comes with a replacement grip (I thought it was an overgrip LOL).Seller should list all these wonderful things that come with this paddle. At the price, it's a steal!

First, I don’t like to comment on others reviews, but when I feel it’s necessary, I will. With regards to the 2 star review who references power and Joola…. Its important to understand what these paddles are: they are considered Gen 1.5 paddles. Meaning, they are unibody, and foam edges, but are NOT thermoformed (which are considered Gen 2 paddles). If you don’t know the difference, or want to know, look them up. In a nutshell, people who want “power” often tend to get a Gen 2 thermo paddle (which typically run $150, or double the price of this paddle). So people can generate their own power and don’t need a thermoformed paddle and simply like the softer feel and control of a Gen 1.5 paddle. This reviewer also mentions Joola. If they are comparing this to a Joola, it would be the Hyperion (it can’t be the PERSEUS as it’s thermoformed). When compared to a Hyperion, which I’ve had, this paddle weighs 7.75 oz vs. a much heavier 8.5oz Hyperion. The construction of this paddle is good. I’ve taken off the grip and inspected the quality, and I don’t see any “low quality” issues. I play with both thermo paddles (r3 pulsar) and there are times when I prefer this paddle. They both have a role…depending on the type of player you are playing and/or singles or doubles. I liked the paddle so much, that I got a backup, as I saw the black version sold out and I wanted to snag one of these before they sold out also.For the price of this paddle, I’ve seen at $70 and $80 price points and sometimes with discounts off that, it’s unbeatable. It’s carbon fiber, so there is plenty of spin. Anyone who says there isn’t, probably doesn’t know the proper spin mechanics…. I played high level tennis and have zero issues playing with this in a tournament. If you feel you need a Joola, then by all means, go for it, but also realize, these paddles are all made in the same factories as Joolas lol. And at the end of the day, $250 won’t suddenly get you gold medals. I mean, Ben Johns played with a Franklin before his Joola and he still was racking up wins……

My first Pickleball paddle bought and it was a great choice. Nice pop off the face and controlling ball for placement was easy. Weight was good to maneuver around the kitchen and ground strokes were crisp. Highly recommended paddle for all skill levels. Also great color choices to choose from. Price point is perfect for what it does.
