Love the 3s. I’ve warrantied some so have had the pleasure of trying most. My ranking. 1. Hyperion/Perseus 3s (interchangeable) 2. Mod TA 3. Magnus 3s 4. Scorpius 3s (haven’t actually tried, but never enjoyed this shape personally)
I play 10 hours a week, and was told pickleball paddles should be replaced every 6 months. Do you think it’s possible to get a year of this paddle with keeping decent grip and without core crushing? I’m worried about spending all that money for something that won’t even last a year. I thought this sport was going to to be cheap to play 😂
Not the response you’re looking for but ‘it depends’. The core crushing topic is interesting, I remember when the GEN3 tech first came out the brands that used it said the core crushing is part of it? I dunno about a year with this paddle but 10 hours a week seems alright. Worth giving a try or check out the lower priced paddles that, maybe check out different cores like GEN1 or GEN2. In most cases the grit is usually the first to go. We’re still in the growth stage so hopefully this follows Moore’s Law (although applied to PB) and the cost decreases. There are certainly more and more brands coming out now with an emphasis on cost.
@@buildingpickleball Thanks for the information! If it does core crush is it still playable and is ok to continue to use? I play in 4.0 tournaments and wouldn't want to get turned away. All local tournaments so nothing is tested.
Honestly, I’m still not sure the difference between core crush and delam as far as effects. Bc they seem different as far as the cause but is the result also diff? Not sure. Many people I know will say it’s unplayable once you feel the crush, way too inconsistent. Yeah most tournaments won’t be able to tell. But yeah I’m not sure if a USAP sanctioned tournament ref will even be able to distinguish between core crush and delam, bc it’s so similar
Definitely. Those paddles feel great to me. But yeah the surface will be first to go but the core should be fine, depending on playing style of course etc. not sure what their warranty is.
I've hit the MOD TA. Loved the feel of the ball striking the face. Not a fan of the "propulsion" core tech. Durability is sketchy and Joola has issues with honoring their warranty.
Personally, I’m not a fan of their customer service and many others have said the same. I’ve heard the same regarding durability. A positive to the whole “all the paddles come from the same place” means we can get the same paddle but from a different brand bc not all brands are the same and how they treat cust.
Love the 3s.

@@sudipb7467 I’m thinking of getting the thrive azule. Pretty sure that’s gen 2. I’d be happy to get 8 months out of that

Great video!
Glad you liked it!
All these guys need to hit the gym and start generating their own power. Young men with power paddles are why this sport is not taken seriously.
Legendary comment
We have to get away from grit only = spin
$300 paddles, and still noone can make a paddle that lasts over a year!
Selkirk paddles sucks
What is it about them?
Joola, just super lame
If your ever just a rec player your a cheater. No usap paddles
