I split a pack of 100 X-40 balls with some friends, so currently using those. They are also the most common in my area. Thanks for the giveaway and all the effort you put in for the PB community. Much appreciated. Joola Perseus 16mm MOD TA-15, Ripple R1.14 Beta, and Six Zero Ruby Infinity.
Hi John & Eddie, Happy 40th podcast. Nice looking Melin John. I really loved all the info in todays podcast, especially the power paddle comparisons. I've been playing a J2KTi and finding that the Vulcan Pro Flight is becoming my go to and X-40 would be 2nd choice. Thank you guys! Hoping to become one of the 6 next time. 😊
Love the podcast. I look forward to it every week. I’m currently playing the Franklin X-40 ball, since it’s ubiquitous and relatively consistent. I’m impressed with the giveaway participation. It’s pretty nice that Joola and Pickleball Central are allowing a lucky winner to choose any in stock paddle. Keep up the great work.
Love your you tube videos so informative. I especially like the extreme details you provide on analyzing new paddles. Keep up the good work, it is MUCH appreciated.
I love what you are doing on the podcast! I’m another boring X-40 user because it’s the most commonly used ball in my area and I don’t want to have to switch back and forth. Keep up the excellent work!
Great stuff as usual John and Eddie!. I haven't played with it a ton, although I'd say my preferred ball is the Onix Dura Fast 40 (love the speed and ability to spin this ball).
Generally play with the Franklin X-40 since that's the ball of choice for most of the people I play with. When my husband and I practice/drill together, we use the balls at the courts that are in the ball basket that are mostly used duras. Always enjoy the podcasts. You and Eddie do a great job. Happy Holidays!!
Currently using the go sports gs40 ball. More affordable option to the durafast. John & Eddie, you're doing a phenomenal job contributing to the community.
Great podcast John and Eddie! Love what you’re doing with the show. I too ,use the Franklin x-40, x-26. But, after watching the last PB Studio podcast I’m going to try Gamma “Chuck” ball!
Hey guys, really appreciate the effort and information you put into your videos! My favorite ball right now is the CORE pickleball, its nice and cheap, and it plays pretty fast.
I am playing the Core ball these days based on your review. Your ball durability review timing was perfect, as I cracked a ball just before I watched that episode and wanted something more durable but still a little on the soft side. Thanks for all you guys do.
Absolutely love everything you guys are doing! Really hope more people become more engaged in the community and the forums. As far as balls, I’d probably go with the Franklin, but the Selkirk a close second. After playing with Selkirk, Vulcans, and Lifetimes balls, a Franklin feels like a rock, it’s so much harder and stiffer. Pros and cons to that.
Hey guys! Congrats 🍾 on the 40th episode! I enjoy playing with the good faithful X40! Would love and be grateful for any of the paddles honestly! If I had to choose I would love a Joola paddle!
Hey John, loved your podcast today and appreciate you talking about shoes more because I feel like it's such an important topic to discuss since our feet are so important to take care of while playing Pickleball! I play with the Lifetime pickleballs!
Love the podcast and thank you for all your work to standardize paddle specs! The X40 is the most consistent ball and that's all I want. Right now my paddle main is a Ronbus Ripple R1 Beta.
Hi John and Eddie! Great podcast, again. Very interesting and informative! I love the paddle discussions and the science / engineering of the paddles you discuss. I play with the Franklin x 40 balls. 😀
Hey John and Eddie…and Merry Christmas! I’m most often using Franklin X40s. For Week 2, I think it’s a cool idea to look at the Pickleball Central inventory and select a paddle from there! Thank you!!
I purchased a chorus Shapeshifter based on your review John. Never have I purchased any paddle without demoing it before this. Result…. I love the paddle. Matt is fantastic to work with 😊
I love the podcast! I’m using the Franklin X-40 because it’s the most common and consistent. I live in an area with moderate weather so don't have to worry about breaking them that often. Thanks for all the hard work!
LOVED the power paddle comparison discussion. Mained the Pulse V but started a 30-day trial with the Gearbox Ultimate Hyper for a bump up in power/pop. Now I want to compare it with the 11SIX24 Power Vapor which stacks up well and costs $105 less than Gearbox but with more spin!
Love the in detail descriptions of the paddles and the differences. My current favorite ball is the x-40 because they are accessible and decently durable
I am using the Franklin X40 balls. I tremendously enjoy your channel since the beginning and have shared it with many of my PB buddies and vendors. Happy Holidays to you both!
Hey John & Eddie, I love your guys work and the videos you push out. I am using the Franklins X-40 balls right now. As for the paddles, I would not mind winning any of the options this week. All great brands and giveaways.
Using the Franklin currently, and will be for a while. Bought a ton during the sale this year. Only ball I’ve really ever used, so can’t really compare to other balls. Great job fellas, keep up the great work! Thank you for doing this!
Another great podcast! I really appreciate all of the detailed information you put into your reviews. I play with the Selkirk Pro S1 and Franklin X-40 pickleballs. We usually use the X-40 for match play and we use the Pro S1 when we are drilling.
Thank you for the in-depth analysis and scientific approach to your reviews. It truly helps provide some objectivity to purchasing decisions which is necessary in a market so saturated. My favorite ball has been the Franklin X40 due to consistent bounce and good all around performance.
Hello again Kewcasters! Love the science based material on the pod. I play exclusively with Franklin x40's because my club provides them! Can't beat that.
Love the database and helped me find the right paddle. Your insights here are also top notch and I spread the channel for others searching for the right paddle. Keep up the great work and Happy holiday's to the entire crew!
Honestly I’ve been playing the Lifetime ball a bunch and it plays very well. Almost no cracking or anything! Love the pod. Been watching since the start and you and Eddie have been getting better and better at just flowing with one another. The in depth analysis is always spot on and informative and the banter makes it an easy listen!
Excited about the community interaction and how knowledgeable our pickleball community is becoming. In regards with ball preference, the Franklin X-40 is the most player ball in all of my session, with Vulcan ball as the second used ball in my playtime. Looking forward to winning any of the paddle giveaway for Christmas!
With good weather, I stick with the X-40s. When it gets real hot however, the X-40 turns to a marshmallow, so when it is super hot the Gamma Chuck is the best. When it is around freezing or lower, the X-40's turn brittle. My cold weather ball is the Selkirk S-1's... which I learned about thanks to John's testing!
My favorite ball is the franklin. I just like the consistency of play until it cracks. Second would be the Vulcan tour ball, just because it plays faster. Love the podcast! Thank you for all the giveaways during the holidays 😊
Thanks for all you do on the show John & Eddie, i love all of your thoughts and input! My favorite ball is the Franklin X40. I enjoy the feel of the ball as well as the durability here in Indiana. It also rarely gets bad bounces. It is by far the most used ball in the Indianapolis market from beginner to 5.5 level. Of the paddles i would be interested in, a Joola Scorpeus 3S 16mm!
Love the Pod and the team - the conversation never gets old. Happy to spend 1 1/2 with you each week and constantly checking the paddle data. I will play with any ball but definitely prefer a softer ball. My favorite is the Franklin X-40.
Hello, John and Eddie, Thanks for the giveaway,. Our pickleball group (60 people) use Franklin X-40 balls exclusively. I've played with the following paddles: Engage Pursuit EX 6.0, the Mark One and the Engage Pursuit V2.0.
Oh yeah, Six paddles this week!!! I'm using the Selkirk S1 ball because they last a long time. I only have the 1 paddle which is the 11six24 Monarch All Court and I love it. I'm all in on the wide body paddles. I'll take any paddle you are giving away but would prefer that new 11six24 Pegasus or Vapor 😁😁... Thanks for the chance.
Great podcast! I really appreciate all of the detailed information you put into your reviews and podcasts. I play with the Selkirk Pro S1 and Franklin X-40 pickleballs. I use the X-40 more at night and on warmer days. I use the Pro S1 on colder days. I also prefer the X-40 when playing on a wet court.
Thank you for the excellent episode as always. Love the chemistry the two of you have, it translates on screen! I’m a standard X40 player. Have played with the Selkirk S1s when it gets too cold though 🥶
I've been using Selkirk S1s recently. The no-crack warranty is a really helpful failsafe since I've been playing a lot in the cold. I've been really wanting to try out the Ripple line, so winning that would be awesome! I love the pod! The two of you go into depth like none other and they really helps nerds like me to learn and make decisions, so THANK YOU!! :)
Always used Franklin X-40. When I started playing, I looked online on what ball is frequently used and never even looked for other ball brands 😆 great pod. Have been using your paddle database online as a basis on what paddle to buy in the future and as basis on what paddle to choose when submitting my entry on your paddle giveaway 😆
The Bread & Buttoner 40 is perfect. The quality and specs are on par with other popular brands, but the color just pops like non-other, and plus....it's supporting Bread & Butter!
Thank you both! I prefer the look of the hybrid but do appreciate the extra reach an elongated paddle gives me (and that my parents didn't ;D), esp at the kitchen. My current main is the ESQ-C 14.3 and I am super stoked for my 11six24 Hurache-X Alpha...but, I am a little weary of the 6in handle since that is much longer than I'm used to. I fear it/I will drag in firefights. When/will there be a review on the Ruby Infinity!? Appreciate all the info you provide and love, love, LOVE the show!
Great pod and thank you for all you both do! My groups have been playing with the Vulcan ball and a more local brand ball that a lot of players have been using their paddles, the 20x44. It’s a pretty decent ball too!
Love the channel & the holiday giveaway! My ball of choice is the X-40 for consistency, durability & tradition. It's also readily available at many big box stores like Target and reasonably priced. Preferred paddle for giveaway #2 is Sixzero Infinity Ruby or DBD Control, 16mm.
Love this episode. Currently x-40 indoor and selkirk outdoor when it's cold. Currently using a J2k and love it... of today's paddles, I'd go with the vapor.
Always an amazing podcast. My favorite ball to play with is a CORE. I find it to be super reliable when it comes to keeping it's shape and bounce, but you can never go wrong with the X-40. What I like about the x-40 is also the engraving of the X in the ball so you can expect how it plays. The newer shiny balls have no indication after extensive play so it's always a guess on what ball you're playing with unless it's a x-40 or S1
Hey guys, great preview of the new 11Six24 paddles! My group always uses the Franklin X-40, though occasionally a Selkirk Pro S1 will slip in there. Happy holidays!
I appreciate so much, your knowledge. I started playing this past March with a black diamond then changed to the Filth, my mailman brought me my Invader today! So excited to try that tomorrow. I know it will have more pop but ready for more power as well. I would be happy w any paddle. If I have a choice, Ronbus Ripple or Engage Pursuit Pro, but will take any and be grateful! I’ve been using the PENN 26 red indoor balls. Thanks guys for spreading the love 😊
Thanks again for another generous week from you and the sponsors of the giveaway! We play with the Franklin X-40. I also really like the OSO Fury. I want to like the Selkirk for the durability but they feel dead of the paddle. Thanks again guys!!
Appreciate another great episode this week and particularly enjoyed the focus on paddle shape. I like playing with Selkirk Pro S1 as it holds up well in cold weather here in the northeast. Keep up the quality content!
Love the pod, I've been using Franklin X-40's they're so durable and easily accessible where I am! I have been wanting to try the Ronbus Ripple as well. Looking for a more power focused paddle.
Love the podcast, always listening to it when I’m on the road. I’m currently using the Franklin-X40 but I’ve recently been trying the Selkirk Pro S1 to which I find more lighter than the Franklin-X40.
Another great pod guys! Thanks!! I play mainly with Franklin X40s, but on cold mornings I’ve purchased Selkirk Pro S1’s for their crack resistance. The X40’s have good bounce and aren’t too stiff, feel just right to me. Not as hot as some which I like. But they crack like crazy in cold weather, so go to S1s then.
I split a pack of 100 X-40 balls with some friends, so currently using those. They are also the most common in my area. Thanks for the giveaway and all the effort you put in for the PB community. Much appreciated.
Joola Perseus 16mm MOD TA-15, Ripple R1.14 Beta, and Six Zero Ruby Infinity.
Appreciate all you’re doing for the PB community…keep up the good work!
I currently play the CORE ball. It’s fast, durable, and ships quick which is why I love it.
Enjoy all the in depth info you provide and interplay with Eddy.
Hi John & Eddie, Happy 40th podcast. Nice looking Melin John. I really loved all the info in todays podcast, especially the power paddle comparisons. I've been playing a J2KTi and finding that the Vulcan Pro Flight is becoming my go to and X-40 would be 2nd choice.

You guys are my favorite paddle reviewers to listen to. I love your attention to detail and your relatability. I play with the Franklin X-40.

Awesome job guys!! Never miss your podcast! Right now I play Franklin X40s.
I'm really digging this podcast. You guys are top tier. Sound wasn't too bad, either. Currently trying out A11N S40s.
You guys do a great job. Always informative.
Generally play with the Franklin X-40 since that's the ball of choice for most of the people I play with. When my husband and I practice/drill together, we use the balls at the courts that are in the ball basket that are mostly used duras. Always enjoy the podcasts. You and Eddie do a great job. Happy Holidays!!
My favorite ball is Selkirk S1. Play mostly outdoors. See you guys on the courts.
Where ya been Craig?!? Let's play!
Really enjoy the podcast! Currently using the X-40s most of the time but also have some Selkirk S1s.
Currently using the go sports gs40 ball. More affordable option to the durafast. John & Eddie, you're doing a phenomenal job contributing to the community.
Thank you for all the hard work y’ll putting in.

Another great pod! Just most used to Franklin X but they are not the sturdiest and do crack a lot, so should probably upgrade
I like the Franklin X-40 outdoor ball. It has held up well and it took a lot of play before I cracked one.
Another great episode. I play with Franklin X-40’s.
X-40 is about all I am able to play with without people in Open Play complaining. You guys are the best.
Absolutely love everything you guys are doing! Really hope more people become more engaged in the community and the forums. As far as balls, I’d probably go with the Franklin, but the Selkirk a close second. After playing with Selkirk, Vulcans, and Lifetimes balls, a Franklin feels like a rock, it’s so much harder and stiffer. Pros and cons to that.
Hey guys! Congrats 🍾 on the 40th episode!
I enjoy playing with the good faithful X40!
Would love and be grateful for any of the paddles honestly! If I had to choose I would love a Joola paddle!
Great discussions again. Love playing with the Franklin x40 balls, consistent bounces and contrasting colours to most pickleball courts.
Thanks guys! Loved the podcast and all the stats. I play with the X40 ball. Appreciate the giveaways.
Very informative E40, thanks guys. Enjoy listening to every Episode each week. Peace and love by way of Pickleball, cheers.
Great pod guys! Playing with the Franklin X-40 and the OSO Fury - both consistent and don’t go out of round quickly - happy holidays!
Hey John, loved your podcast today and appreciate you talking about shoes more because I feel like it's such an important topic to discuss since our feet are so important to take care of while playing Pickleball! I play with the Lifetime pickleballs!
Love your podcast and my closet full of paddles prove that i take your information to heart. My favorite ball is the Core, seems to hold up best.
Love the podcast and thank you for all your work to standardize paddle specs! The X40 is the most consistent ball and that's all I want. Right now my paddle main is a Ronbus Ripple R1 Beta.
Hi John and Eddie! Great podcast, again. Very interesting and informative! I love the paddle discussions and the science / engineering of the paddles you discuss. I play with the Franklin x 40 balls. 😀

Great podcast guys. I really enjoy listening to y’all talk. I currently play w Selkirk s1. Thank y’all do much.
I purchased a chorus Shapeshifter based on your review John. Never have I purchased any paddle without demoing it before this.
Result…. I love the paddle. Matt is fantastic to work with 😊
Same!
I love the podcast! I’m using the Franklin X-40 because it’s the most common and consistent. I live in an area with moderate weather so don't have to worry about breaking them that often. Thanks for all the hard work!
Great episode, love all the content you all bring each week! X-40 is my ball of choice, helps slow the game down in a power hungry world
Thank you for the pod! I’m playing with the X 40 and LifeTime ball. Both are very good indoors with reinforced concrete. IMO
great job guys. I'm really liking the Core pickleballs. They last a little longer and faster than my previous favorite Franklins. Thanks.
Another great pod!!! Using the vulcan or selkirk depending on how cold it is outside.
LOVED the power paddle comparison discussion. Mained the Pulse V but started a 30-day trial with the Gearbox Ultimate Hyper for a bump up in power/pop. Now I want to compare it with the 11SIX24 Power Vapor which stacks up well and costs $105 less than Gearbox but with more spin!

Rocking CORE balls especially in colder weather. My second choice is Slkirk S1. Took me awhile to find the shoe answer I hope I got it right
With good weather, I stick with the X-40s. When it gets real hot however, the X-40 turns to a marshmallow, so when it is super hot the Gamma Chuck is the best. When it is around freezing or lower, the X-40's turn brittle. My cold weather ball is the Selkirk S-1's... which I learned about thanks to John's testing!

Great stuff guys! The Mid Atlantic area has gotten cold so we have moved to the Core ball for the winter!
I love that you’re giving your viewers the opportunity to win a giveaway!! I currently just play at LifeTime with the LT pickleball.
Love the podcast. By far the best ever. Favorite ball is the Gama Chuck. Keep up the great work. Any and all paddles.
Thanks for all you do on the show John & Eddie, i love all of your thoughts and input! My favorite ball is the Franklin X40. I enjoy the feel of the ball as well as the durability here in Indiana.

Thanks again guys for the great podcast! My favorite ball is the Franklin X-40. Been curious to try the Ronbus Ripple with all the hype around it!
Love the podcast, an absolute must listen every week! So much amazing information. Currently playing with the Franklin X40 balls!
Thanks John and happy holidays. I love playing with the Franklin x40s unless it's very cold out, then will use the selkirk S1
Oh yeah, Six paddles this week!!! I'm using the Selkirk S1 ball because they last a long time. I only have the 1 paddle which is the 11six24 Monarch All Court and I love it. I'm all in on the wide body paddles. I'll take any paddle you are giving away but would prefer that new 11six24 Pegasus or Vapor 😁😁... Thanks for the chance.
Great podcast! I really appreciate all of the detailed information you put into your reviews and podcasts. I play with the Selkirk Pro S1 and Franklin X-40 pickleballs. I use the X-40 more at night and on warmer days. I use the Pro S1 on colder days. I also prefer the X-40 when playing on a wet court.
Thank you for the excellent episode as always. Love the chemistry the two of you have, it translates on screen!
I’m a standard X40 player. Have played with the Selkirk S1s when it gets too cold though 🥶
I've been using Selkirk S1s recently. The no-crack warranty is a really helpful failsafe since I've been playing a lot in the cold. I've been really wanting to try out the Ripple line, so winning that would be awesome!
I love the pod! The two of you go into depth like none other and they really helps nerds like me to learn and make decisions, so THANK YOU!! :)
Thanks for breaking down us fans choices of paddles. Very interesting. I pick the Franklin X-40 due to its good price vs performance
Love the pod and the database. Always go to the Franklin X-40. Most people I know like those the best....
Always used Franklin X-40. When I started playing, I looked online on what ball is frequently used and never even looked for other ball brands 😆 great pod. Have been using your paddle database online as a basis on what paddle to buy in the future and as basis on what paddle to choose when submitting my entry on your paddle giveaway 😆
Pod is high quality. Love everythugn about it! Fav ball is DURRRAA!!
The Bread & Buttoner 40 is perfect. The quality and specs are on par with other popular brands, but the color just pops like non-other, and plus....it's supporting Bread & Butter!
Thank you both! I prefer the look of the hybrid but do appreciate the extra reach an elongated paddle gives me (and that my parents didn't ;D), esp at the kitchen. My current main is the ESQ-C 14.3 and I am super stoked for my 11six24 Hurache-X Alpha...but, I am a little weary of the 6in handle since that is much longer than I'm used to. I fear it/I will drag in firefights. When/will there be a review on the Ruby Infinity!? Appreciate all the info you provide and love, love, LOVE the show!
Great pod and thank you for all you both do!
My groups have been playing with the Vulcan ball and a more local brand ball that a lot of players have been using their paddles, the 20x44. It’s a pretty decent ball too!
Awesome vid. Just found yall. Gonna subscribe. My favorite ball is Franklin x-40
Enjoy the good analysis. I play most often with a Franklin X40 ball
Another great podcast, guys! I’ve been playing with the good old trusty Franklin x40! Can’t go wrong.
Another great cast as always. I’m using the Franklin x-40 just like when I started!
Thanks for another very practical episode! My favorite ball is the Selkirk Pro S1 because it’s durable and tracks well.
Love the channel & the holiday giveaway! My ball of choice is the X-40 for consistency, durability & tradition. It's also readily available at many big box stores like Target and reasonably priced. Preferred paddle for giveaway #2 is Sixzero Infinity Ruby or DBD Control, 16mm.
Love the podcast. I have been playing with Franklin X-40 and love the consistent bounce it offers!
Love the podcast! I primarily play with the X-40 and Vpro. Happy Holidays!
Love this episode. Currently x-40 indoor and selkirk outdoor when it's cold. Currently using a J2k and love it... of today's paddles, I'd go with the vapor.
My favorite ball is the Franklin X-40 overall is the best for your buck. Thanks for everything you guys do .
Always an amazing podcast. My favorite ball to play with is a CORE. I find it to be super reliable when it comes to keeping it's shape and bounce, but you can never go wrong with the X-40.

I appreciate so much, your knowledge. I started playing this past March with a black diamond then changed to the Filth, my mailman brought me my Invader today! So excited to try that tomorrow.

I’ve been using the PENN 26 red indoor balls. Thanks guys for spreading the love 😊
Love the content! Have to go for X-40’s. Reasonably priced ball, that’s wildly accepted by most players.
Thanks again for another generous week from you and the sponsors of the giveaway! We play with the Franklin X-40. I also really like the OSO Fury. I want to like the Selkirk for the durability but they feel dead of the paddle. Thanks again guys!!
Appreciate another great episode this week and particularly enjoyed the focus on paddle shape. I like playing with Selkirk Pro S1 as it holds up well in cold weather here in the northeast. Keep up the quality content!

Love the podcast, always listening to it when I’m on the road. I’m currently using the Franklin-X40 but I’ve recently been trying the Selkirk Pro S1 to which I find more lighter than the Franklin-X40.
I never miss an episode of your pod and love all of the information! I use Crown and Vulcan balls.
Another great pod guys! Thanks!!
