The silicon bracelet is a "serving bracelet". You see the pros wear them so the refs can see who was the first server on each side. Helps keep track when people are stacking.
i like the unboxing vids as a change of pace, strangely relaxing, lol. i have the orange shapeshifter. boy is it orange, looks like im going hunting. very interesting all- court as i find it, in general, a bit soft leaning but pop/drives hit like a true all-court. dinks are amazing. i like the melin a-game as a performance hat (hiking/sports), not necc for comfort. i have a smaller head and find that it sticks up. the odyssey is massive on me. e-bay was like $35-40 so a discounted new one for $50 is not terrible, they are premium quality in my opinion (i haven't tried other similar hats though.) Now they just need to make a 'legend' style athletic hat, like a cross btwn a-game and legend.
It’s a great all court paddle/control paddle. My favorite in their lineup. Great sweet spot and speed as well and would probably make my top 10 list for best control paddles. Still has decent power too
Are the Melon hats washable and do the colors fade? I have some Mission brand hats that I like because they are cool and breathable, but between the sun and washings they have faded quite a bit and are starting to look pretty trashed.
I’ve had the neon ones you see on my wall for over 2 years now and they have had multiple washings and the colors are still bright and clean. However the water resistance has gone down after many washings
Did you ever publish any review for Honolulu paddles? I did a search on your site and all I see is you unboxing a lot of Honolulu paddles, but no review anywhere...I respect your opinion, so hope you will do reviews of the J2K and especially the J2Ti. Thanks Will!
I haven’t been able to get around to doing a full review of them yet it’s just a lot. For now I do enjoy them and think they are very good solid options. The J2K and J2Kti would probably make my top 5 all court paddles list and lean power. The J7K probably my favorite of the bunch though. They honestly don’t have any weaknesses
Great job Will. Your'e Killin it!! I'm a edgless fan for the most part. I have the NEXUS, but the J2TI looks so sick!! Special edge guard looks seem useless if you are one who uses edge tape for protection. 70 bucs for a snap back, hat!!!!! Hard pass.
Edgeless paddles. I don't get it. Smaller sweet spot and makes the paddle more fragile. Most people end up putting guard tape on it, which defeats some of the reason for getting them. I am also suspicious of any aero benefits people might claim from the design.

I just wear mine all the time 😂
So good to see you back Will.
✌️
Good to be back 🙏

I want to try Melin's hat. Look forward to whether there will be a discount.
My 2nd paddle ever was (is) a Standout KC1. It was too much paddle for me as a beginner and been meaning to take it back out on the courts.
I have one that I bought after my DBD. I hit my best shots with it... But I suffer any time I can't get my shot
You are one lucky guy. WOW
Breygan is the most Utah name LMAO
Love the unboxing video. My Top one is HUDEF MAGE Pro Gen2.
I have the Mage Gen2 and finally tried to add some weight, it does make a difference. not a huge difference but yeah.
Hey Will! What are your thoughts on the holbrook aero s?

@PickleballWill thank you!

I hope that Honolulu makes a J7Ti. My J7k is one of my favourite paddles.
That J7K is also my favorite from the Honolulu line

12:57 it’s MANgeta will!
Pickleball Will, how to play the game in style. Everything from caps to paddles.
Can we expect deals for Black Friday?
I don’t own a Holbrook but they look nice.

Another good video. Long time no see, Will.
Thrive is the way
My prodigal son has returned! Where you been at Junior?

They look nicer usually; and require you to buy lead tape to make them more like edge guard. Good sales strategy; I always prefer edge guard
Edges cost more money to scale
Must be nice to be a reviewer 😂
SALT MAFIA > MELIN
So you just get thousands of dollars of free stuff all the time? You don't seemed fazed or surprised by it at all
what is this vedio for? Waste our time
