I've only played a couple games with the saga. I think saga and pulse both have more power. Shapeshifter is probably the softest. Pulse is soft and controllable but in a different way, it doesn't feel as "soft" so to speak as it feels like dense. I think saga would be in the middle of those two. Spin probably goes to the shapeshifter, power to the pulse I would imagine but haven't tested between pulse and saga. None of those strike me as poppy paddles. Again haven't tested saga too much, for pop I would guess pulse would be most poppy (but it's not a poppy paddle imo), then saga, then shapeshifter. Shapeshifter really doesn't have a lot of pop unless you are taking big swings and hitting that lower fiberglass layer. Hope it helps!

@@ThePickleballBlast That helps a lot thank you! I have a weird niche in which I really enjoy playing paddles that feel like they have this "plush feeling", best example of that is the proton series 2 where after a hit in the sweet spot on drive it really sinks in, while other paddles like the chorus fire it just reflects off. Saga has a bit of a stiffer feel than the proton, but is my current go to. I just bought the pulse s because it has a 30 day return policy. Debating on the chorus as it you stated is softer than the 3. If so I will definitely be using your code thanks!

Sweet glad it helped!

I think the sweet spot is pretty generous on the pulse, and I think it's a bit amplified with how stable and consistent the paddle feels. I preferred the S over the other shapes, though I am someone who feels like they miss the reach of a hybrid or elongated paddle when using a standard shape, so I tend to shy away from them. Tons of people liking the V as well though!

@ThePickleballBlast How would you compare the sweetspot on the Pulse S to that of the Chorus Shapeshifter Hx?

Haven't hit them side by side but from memory I would think pulse has the shapeshifter beat in sweet spot but probably pretty close, shapeshifter sweet spot definitely wasn't bad. Pulse has more power, shapeshifter has a softer feel though neither felt too poppy, probably spin goes to the shapeshifter. Don't know swing weights top of my head but I'd guess shapeshifter is lighter out of the box. Both are really good paddles I don't think you'd be unhappy with either if I'm being honest. I have a full review on the shapeshifter as well that just came out if it helps!

Hmmm links might not be clickable on shorts? you can find it linked in the full review video on my channel

Agreed, they hit the ground running

Totally! A nice safe paddle with a lot of control and spin to really dial in your game and figure out how you like to play.

I appreciate that! Yah I've used some other in the past for other things. They've been fine. I like some things with tropee specifically. Didn't really know what the user experience was like though so glad to hear it was pretty good for you!

No problem 👍

I think the OG had a decent sized sweet spot. It's maybe slightly larger but not a major major difference. I think the much softer feel of the new series makes it feel a bit more forgiving though too

I think they'll be well received by most!

Awesome, thank you!
