Perfect reminder at the end, that it’s more about the player than the paddle. Thank you for the informative video.

Don't get a cheap one as you risk tennis elbow with that

Wonderful. What settings were you in at some of the time? Thanks.

i am drawn to your sincerity and your obvious love for the game & for innovating within the paddle space. Although i've never hit a Kiwi Labs paddle, you've got a new subscriber. Btw, the website contains no mention or extra details regarding the ''free paddles for life giveaway'' that i can see despite searching; just fyi. Much gratitude for this great breakdown of your paddle lineup.

Exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you so much!!

Great hearing a company owner's perspective! I think companies having to compete on price--with the old model keeping the barrier of entry so low--was a huge benefit to consumers. (And then having the marketplace being so confusing was actually what helped reviewers have purpose and break out as the established reviewers had [and still have] access to paddle companies that are very hard to get to even now.) All that being, the positives that stick out to me are two-fold: 1.) I do hope the new paddle regulations will at least keep the nature of open play a little less like a battlefield. 2.) With the new fees, I hope USAP will be better equipped to be faster-moving to not be put out of business and to continue steering the nature of how pickleball is played (at least) at the rec level. If the paddle business becomes purely pro-focused, I think a lot of the social benefits of pickleball will be at risk as folks will be more hesitant to drop in with the game becoming more dangerous and accident-prone with hotter and hotter paddles that folks don't know how to control. This is a surefire way to kill the growth of the sport, and I'm still not sure how viable pro pickleball is as an entertainment spectacle--and even more so if there are fewer people being introduced to the sport at the rec level. UPA's strategy might result in more intense games, but will the gameplay be any more engaging? And who's the audience? I think anyone watching the pro's play are players themselves, and the audience will only shrink if the rec play gateway/entry point to the sport is squeezed shut. But those are just my thoughts! For me, I like that pickleball is a fun and relatively worry-free recreational activity that gets people moving and interacting. And I see USAP as pretty much the only avenue focused on promoting/maintaining that, but they will need capital and resources to maintain influence as the bigger paddle companies would prefer to regulate themselves--first, on paddle standards, and then, second, either intentionally or unintentionally, on price--with collusion and price fixing at higher dollar amounts being the ultimate result IMO. Also, love the Circuit by the way! If that's where rec play goes, I'm excited! Fingers crossed! And sorry if I should have used LESS words here! The grammar police are working overtime! Lol. 😂 Keep up the great and insightful content, Larry!

Where are you...I want to come try out all of the paddles...so I know what you're actually talking about. Then I want to buy the best one. I don't care about price.

We're here to pick-leball your brain...don't censor yourself.

The word is 'fewer' not 'less.' That is, few paddles, fewer companies, not less companies and less paddles.

🫡 Keep up the insightful content Larry!

As someone who loves playing with a 16mm paddle, I can say that the 14mm Circuit keeps pulling me back!

I would love if you made a specs chart with all paddles’ specs for quick comparison.

You guys should do a power foam paddle though. There is no budget foam power option. Such a big hole in the market. Everything foam power is $250+

Your office reminds me of mine. A piece of a new project here, a failed part over there, some stuff that only you might think is cool. Keep up the good work!

Larry, you can talk as long as you want. Thank you for putting this video together.

I’d love to try the both. Lol

1st!

do you do mentorship?

Possibly donating the paddles to schools who are starting pickleball teams would be a great option. I know in my school district an indoor facility just opened up so we’re trying to organize a kids’ league.

Proud of what you've done with your company Larry I'm sure this has been an amazing journey! I'm also in the game and I love seeing you do well with this!

What is the average weight of the paddle?

Great looking paddle. Assuming not thermoformed?

That's a nice-looking paddle at a great price.

Dude! You forgot to mention the sweet new color overgrips! And that 10pack rainbow!! 😂😂😂

🎉

Another solid offering! Can’t beat raw carbon for under $50!

I teach a lot of kids and oldies in my neighborhood… it keeps kids focused and away from crimes and something to channel their energy into… but i keep running out of paddles and mostly we use makeshift wooden paddles. It would be nice to have something decent

Did you mention the price?? 🤔🤔

Swing weight and twist weight please

Thanks for the update! Who does this paddle serve? All court or control leaning?

I'm starting to break in my 14mm circuit! Absolutely love the feel of the paddle and wasn't expecting to like a 14mm so much especially since I've typically used 16mm

Wait, what about the beginner paddle you mentioned releases next week?

love the navy colors and orange, excited to get my hands on the Juice! Go KiwiLabs go Larry!

You were sneaky with those pictures you posted and left the Juiced on that last picture!! Great job😂😂

Donating those paddles to elementary schools would be amazing!

Could always donate them to a community center, both seniors and kids can get introduced to Pickleball. Most community centres have large enough gyms to put two or three possibly five Pickleball courts.

The Holidays are coming up - why not do a Santa Drop for the TH-cam community? (I think that whoever has a good idea that gets used should be at the top of the list also) Most youtube folks have tournament approved paddles they use so a free unapproved paddle during the Holidays will probably turn into a gift for a new player. I teach beginners at a local church and I cringe at the free-to-use paddles they have (as well as some of the paddles the regulars use) I periodically give my older paddles to people I feel need something better - give me a few and I promise they'll have good homes

The paddle looks great - very interested in what you're doing at Kiwi Labs, and rooting for you as a (smaller) company!

You're videos are always so good. Do you have a wide body paddle like the volair mach 2 or the joola scorpious?

Are you still using your 680bh. I have one and from pictures it seems the 680pbh has a flat striker which could explain the difference in trajectory. I’m not sure if they modified the spring strength, strike angle, or strike point as well. The ball trajectory is different than Ed Ju’s 680pbh. Have you modded at all?

Looks like you just put it on a tripod and you get the angle you want. I just got this unit for $60. Guess I got a steal. Now I need to find the right power bank for it.

Does the hole for the ball drop in the net allow the ball to drop with ease. We have attempted to set up our net a couple of times and it seems like that pickleballs do not easily go through the hole to the machine. Did you do anything or notice anything with the setup

which thickness would provide more power? 14mm or 16mm Circuit paddle?

Kevlar? How bout kevlar??

I started with a crappy Selkirk starter kit. Then bought a hybrid j2k. For me bing a 2.5-3 I like it. Overall I want the best of all worlds at a good price. They wear out and are disposable. I’m looking forward seeing what is going to happen. I like power. A little pop is fine. Give me control.

I enjoy your videos.
