    This is one of my most anticipated paddles. I have the Apollo and love it, so glad to hear Spartus has another winner!

    This has been my main for a month. I have a college tennis background, but don’t consider myself a banger. I’m a hybrid of a QD style (for big drives) but mix in a lot of soft drops and try to have an more of a Ben Johns complete style of play. The greatest thing about this paddle is that while yes, it’s in the 75% for power and pop (per pickleball effects), you DO NOT HAVE TO MODIFY YOUR SWING MECHANICS. With all these other “power style” paddles, you really have to dumb down your mechanics, and with this paddle you don’t! So no it’s not a 90% percentile power and pop paddle, but it is top tier and you get that without sacrificing the time to change your game…that’s HUGE to me. No core crushing or anything like that in about a month of play 3-4x a week. Love this paddle. I have the weight in the same location and and started with .5g but then double it up on each side and put some weight in the handle, and I’m still at around only 8.4…

      How's the face durability been? I have high school tennis background and have been playing pickleball consistently for around 5 months now. I've been using 6.0 DBD for the past 4 months and one side of the paddle face is completely smooth due to heavy topspin. Would you recommend the Olympus or any other paddles?

      @@leroyjimkins3705 if you full swing and play aggressive, you would like this paddle. It’s not like a power paddle where you just touch the ball and it will fly…. Which is what’s nice. You access the power via a full normal swing. You don’t have to baby it. And then on the flip side, your soft game doesn’t struggle because the paddle is uncontrollable. My take is any fairly decent level tennis player would really like this paddle…. Face has been perfectly fine. I keep it clean with a paddle eraser and haven’t found any issues. I actually bought another one as a backup. I’m going to full time main the Olympus switching from my 11six24 Kevlar 14mm Hurache.

    Been using this for a bit and I agree it is a great paddle, especially for someone that doesn't want a full power paddle but needs a little bit extra and doesn't want to sacrifice too much control. Separately, it's been really awesome to see your progression as a player through the gameplay videos, you guys have gotten really good!

    I feel like Spartus’ Gladius and Ballista were a little underwhelming but both the Apollo and Olympus have been really good. Keep the great paddles coming Spartus! And keep these solid reviews!

    A guy was hitting the OLYMPUS and I really noticed the sound on impact. I didn't get a chance to play it to see if the sound related to a soft feel on dinks. Maybe the sound I noticed was from the foam type or even being very broke in.

      No nothing at all like the Ballista. If you're looking for a springy feel, look for something with a throat hole. Vatic Alchemy, Selkirk Power Air, etc
