I’m interested in adding one of these gritty spinny boys to my bag. Fascinated with the idea of a thinner paddle, but have never tried one. I’d go for Zane’s paddle just to support the crazy guy.
Between the two, I like the elongated handle which is still maneuverable. So its the signature series for me. Don't know about adding weight though but I like the blue too. A couple of my friends here have the purple but i like that the blue stands out better.
I'm interested in the signature series 13mm because I like heavier SW paddles and I'm curious if the SW is too high to handle. I also need to checkout that grit for myself.. am wondering if it's close to Gen3 territory.
I love the fact that pro xr offers the warranty as confidence in their product, also very intrigued on the sweetspot Max as a lot of the pros switched to it after the release!
ProXR, particularly with the new colorways, look so clean relative to the rest of the paddle market. Absolutely love the minimal design and bright colors. Signature would definitely be the paddle for me with the longer handle length.
The redesign and color ways are a welcomed change. The 13mm sweet spot max looks like a great for the increase power over other wide bodies. I think in 2024, more companies need to offer limited lifetime warranties on their core. If a value brand like Hudef can do it, so can these other brands. Good step for ProXR
I tried a Gearbox paddle with a skinny handle the other day, and I kinda like the feel, so I'm looking forward to trying the smaller circumference handle on this paddle.
Interested in the Sweet Spot Max, I miss the short handle from the Magnus 3. Never owned a standard shape, just elongated and hybrid shapes. I’m liking the matching edge to the lines on the face of the paddle
Would love to try the new signature series. I had the prior signature series and it was mediocre. Glad to hear there are some decent improvements. I actually like that it has high power and lower pop.
Coming from a hybrid shape, I've always struggled with wide-bodied paddles. I am very interested in the signature series 13mm. It's very unique with those spin numbers and that core thickness
Love your details, especially about comparing the sweet spot max to the Mach 2 Forza 14mm, which is a “standard “. I am still waiting for a Forza replacement in which I don’t have to give up pop, and have some more power. Hoping the Ronbus Pulsar Fx2 will be the one. I can’t order it right now as I won’t get the go ahead to start playing again till October
Great review….thanks for the info…..that sweet spot paddle seems more interesting to me…..higher twist weight and for pop….would love to hear more about these paddles in the future…..👍
Just a heads up on two issues with the paddles: 1. The 16mm handles on the new paddles are squared off instead of octagonal. The 13MM versions don't have that issue. 2. The decals on the side of all of them chip or peel off really EASILY. I'm still using the 13mm signature despite losing the decal on Day 1.
I mentioned that you need to review the Ethos Dunamis and it looks exciting. Im not usually into paddles with the air gaps in the bottom but it looks different from anything else. You also have to get in early on the soon to be announced new Volair paddles, one leak had what looked like a mach 2 with the word power on the face.
Great review. Sweet spot max looks like the better option for me. I have the Pro Line S and the Jesse Irvine Engage paddle. Would love to test drive the sweet spot ProXR.
Interested in the sweet spot max. Swing weight is a bit higher for a standard shape, but I'm interested to see what the pink and white colour paddles with 7.7oz static weight have for swing weight
i have a Mach 2 Forza, and a more-powerful standard does sound enticing, but then i also don't have an elongated paddle at all yet so... hmmm. i guess i'll decide when i fill out the Google form in 10 seconds!
Volair is announcing two new paddles soon and the leaked photos showed one looked to be a power version of the Mach 2!! Just based on the shape and the word power on the surface in the photo. The king of control and the 2nd highest spin get a power upgrade?? Can't wait for Jacob's review.
I felt the grit of the sweet spot max at a retailer and it felt like sandpaper. I know you suggested the ALW but I am definitely more interested in the sweet spot max. Thanks for the great review!
Interested in trying 13mm. I have the old 14mm. Paddle face looks less busy so probably more real state for spin and grit. I want to try the pro max though.
I like when you say that Sweet Spot Max is good stock little to no modification required. I am very curious about 13mm. I also like that they offer different colors. I agree ORANGE is the BEST but blue matches my shoes and hat.
Always enjoy your reviews! And recommendations I'm back and forth between standard and elongated too. I'm playing with a Spartus Apollo (alldrivenodrop code) for doubles and Engage Pursuit Pro MX 6.0 for singles. These two couldn't be more different! I love the ball feel, connection drives and overheads with the Pro MX and love the handspeed and pop of the Spartus.
Ive never seen or had chance to hit one of these - maybe i need to find better places to play :) but either way it would be amazing to win one of these!
Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3 is $119 (if memory serves) with 30% discount, and that come with a limited lifetime warranty as well... $190 after code is still kinda up there for me, as far as price goes, but who knows. Solid review, as always, man.
Oh interesting, I didn’t realize Hudef has a limited lifetime warranty. Any experience dealing with their warranty process? I think their headquartered in Hong Kong (not 100% sure)
@@AllDriveNoDropPickleball Good point. I know the paddles do come all the way from China when you purchase one, but no experience actually using the warranty.
Love the review. My father in law lives near Detroit, is a fellow Lions fan, and LOVES to play with spin haha. This would be the perfect paddle to let him loose with. Thanks for doing the giveaway!
I like the concept of a thinner paddle for more maneuverability in an elongated shape but the few ive played come at the cost of reduced dwell time thicker paddles provide and i lose confidence on dropping and dinking. pulling back on the pop would probably help with that but i like that it retains the power. Funny bc i didn't think the old graphics were particularly bad but the more you look at the old paddle the more logos you start seeing. lol. I do like the simpler design but I want an "April Fools" version (like the Zane "Bird" Paddle) which contains twice the amount of logos of the original.
Working on that video, just waiting on the Fat Boy release and to get the Monarchs. More power than the fat boy and Apollo with less pop than the Fat Boy and around the Apollo. Sweet spot is great among all 3
Go Lions! Not a Lions fan, but appreciate their ascension in the NFC North, over the past couple years. Hopefully, they can reach the NFC Champ game again and get past it.
Your description mentions "GRÜVN LAZR-16X" for the giveaway -- but I assume you mean ProXR paddles... but I am most interested in the Sweet Spot max for the high spin and larger sweet spot area. I'm a big fan of Zane and I'd like to try out his paddle/the work they put into it.
All Drive No Drop picks the wide-body sweet spotter over the elongated driver!?🤔🤣 Nah, solid choice, though. I think I'm with ya on that one. It seems like a hard hitter for a standard shape.
I have them and was able to play them a bit. I plan on doing a review but I didn’t get enough time to make any comments yet. How has it been for you? 14mm or 16mm?

Seems like there were a lot of fans of the Magnus shape. Seemed to nail a good sweet spot of specs for people
I'm most interested in trying the awesome spin of these paddles. I also really like that there is an orange color option. Thanks for the great review.
Would love to try the new signature series. I had the prior signature series and it was mediocre. Glad to hear there are some decent improvements. I actually like that it has high power and lower pop.
Thanks for the review. I'm really interested in the 13mm standard form factor coupled with spin
Coming from a hybrid shape, I've always struggled with wide-bodied paddles. I am very interested in the signature series 13mm. It's very unique with those spin numbers and that core thickness
I always love a paddle with good spin, and I’d be interested to give the Sweet spot a try. Thanks for the review and giveaway!🎉
Still searching for my singles paddle and the elongated seems very interesting. Addicted to spin so this might be right up my alley 🤘
After playing the ProXR CG as my gamer for awhile now, I am interested in how the new signature series plays! Thanks for the information!
Love your details, especially about comparing the sweet spot max to the Mach 2 Forza 14mm, which is a “standard “.

Pulsar FX2 is great has more power than the 14mm Volair. I think you will like it. Speedy recovery!
👍😊thanks. Good to have both paddles, depending on playing conditions. I look forward to getting one.

I’ll be getting the Volairs. I’ll look into the Ethos

Great review.. And I love that this paddle has a limited lifetime warranty. I’m interested in the Signature series..
The signature series looks nice. I am looking for an elongated paddle with some good spin so this sounds great
Great review. These paddles are good. But I still love my Hudef Viva Pro Gen3. I think it's more cost-effective.
Interested in the sweet spot max. Swing weight is a bit higher for a standard shape, but I'm interested to see what the pink and white colour paddles with 7.7oz static weight have for swing weight
Thanks for the review. Interested in playing a 13mm to see how it plays.
I have yet to try any slimmer paddles (14mm or 13mm). The Sweet Spot MAx feels like a great paddle to try this out for my style of play.
i have a Mach 2 Forza, and a more-powerful standard does sound enticing, but then i also don't have an elongated paddle at all yet so... hmmm. i guess i'll decide when i fill out the Google form in 10 seconds!
14 or 16?

Thanks for your sharing. What's the difference between 13mm and 16mm cores?
In general a 16mm will have more power, stability, a higher swing weight and less pop than a 13mm that has the same construction.
Great review. I'm interested in the signature elongated version with the 6 inch handle and gritty texture that provides amazing spin.
I felt the grit of the sweet spot max at a retailer and it felt like sandpaper. I know you suggested the ALW but I am definitely more interested in the sweet spot max. Thanks for the great review!
Which color?
@@AllDriveNoDropPickleballpink or white because of the lower static weight and the orange 🤩I believe I felt the grit of the blue one at the store.
Interested in trying 13mm. I have the old 14mm. Paddle face looks less busy so probably more real state for spin and grit. I want to try the pro max though.
Love the thinner handles on both paddles!
I've only ever played w 16mm paddles- currently playing w J2K but wish I had as many paddles to experiment as you😆
I like when you say that Sweet Spot Max is good stock little to no modification required. I am very curious about 13mm. I also like that they offer different colors. I agree ORANGE is the BEST but blue matches my shoes and hat.
Interested in the standard shaped one. Have heard good things about ProXR before. Thanks for reviewing them!
Love the new clean design, would love a signature series for the longer handle
Also love the idea of a solid sweet spot for any-day control.
I hear good things about that paddle. Very curious to try it out and see how the spin is.
good review I never try less than 16mm so sweet spot max is interesting.
13mm power standard shaped paddle sounds fun now that you mention it thanks
Hey, any plans on reviewing the Nexus Prostar?
No plans currently
Nice review! Definitely interested in the sweet spot max since I love my spin and have been wanting to try out a standard shape for some time now
I’d like to try the elongated version. The spin sounds amazing
Thanks for the review! The spin would be fun to try 🔥🔥🔥
I'm interested in a lightweight Sweet Spot Max, then tinker around with adding weight.
Nice review! Despite being an elongated fiend, I’d like to add the Sweet Spot Max to my arsenal!
Always enjoy your reviews! And recommendations I'm back and forth between standard and elongated too.

Great variety for you daily drivers! Thank you for the support!
13mm! I The power on these must be crazy!
Excellent review. The Sweet Spot Max sounds like the one for me. I like that it's a 13mm but still has decent power.
I'm looking for a elongated paddle but with a smaller grip circumference so I'm interested in the Signature Series. Thank you for the review.
Definitely need the Signature one, because of the longer handle.
Ive never seen or had chance to hit one of these - maybe i need to find better places to play :) but either way it would be amazing to win one of these!
Gearbox Pro Power Integra would be the replacement for the Joola Scorpius 3
Widebody with good SW and TW looks tempting

Love all the color options
I can generate some spin (but always want more) so the extra grit sounds awesome!
Love the color options!
Super interested in the Sweet Spot Max for the 13mm slap and some ultra spin!
I like the edge guards with the lines of the paddle transferring through the edge guard.
That blue looks great!
Definitely interested in the sweet spot, a 13mm with tons of spin and power?? Can’t wait to try it!

Sweet spot and spin, seems awesome
I need the sweet spot max for my ability to always hit it outside the sweetspot.
Sounds like the sweet spot max may be an upgrade to my forza 2 and gherkin phantom
Like the orange myself as well. I'd like the spin on the Max
Very interesting! Great review. Love that it has great grit for spin
I like the orange paddle myself
Thank you for always putting me on game on all these brands that are not as big as the main ones but deserve recognition for their unique specs
Like the feel of the handle.
6:15 Ominous Phantom Trinity(?) Eternal(?) eyes spotted..
Thanks for the video, review, and giveaway! Good stuff.
Yeah, he plays with some Phantom still haven’t tried the brand. I don’t want my paddle to look at me 👀
Sweet Spot Max has the blend of pop and power along with the elongated form factor that suits my play style.
I love the look of the ProXR Signature and my philosophy is you can never have enough spin.
oo sweet spot max. it's good to see pickleball players gain more self respect. moar standards! i wonder how this compares to the gruvn 13s.
More power, more reach, less pop and less maneuverability
How do you compare the Sweet Spot Max with a few of the popular wide body or standard size in the market now like the Apollo or the Fat Boy.
Working on that video, just waiting on the Fat Boy release and to get the Monarchs. More power than the fat boy and Apollo with less pop than the Fat Boy and around the Apollo. Sweet spot is great among all 3
@@AllDriveNoDropPickleball that would be an awesome comparison video
Good looking paddles and those spin numbers are off the charts!
Go Lions! Not a Lions fan, but appreciate their ascension in the NFC North, over the past couple years. Hopefully, they can reach the NFC Champ game again and get past it.
A good underdog story
the 13mm signature to do all drives, no drops. lets goooo. plus the warranty
Interested in the spin potential!
sweet spot would be my choice
Always been interested in the brand and a fan of Zane, looking forward to trying the Signature paddle.
13mm on the Sweet Spot Max would be cool to try a head heavy paddle.
Big need. ZN looks better now

Fixing it now ty
like having more power, love my M2F 14mm, but definitely lacks power
The new update design is super sleek
Spin and power sign me up! Good review on these paddles. Nice color options. Are you telling me where to add weight lol..
Sweet Sweet Spot Max.
13mm elongated should greatly help me with my drive
Ultimate in spin power sweetspot and control of course.
All Drive No Drop picks the wide-body sweet spotter over the elongated driver!?🤔🤣
Nah, solid choice, though. I think I'm with ya on that one. It seems like a hard hitter for a standard shape.
😂 I know what in the world is up with that. To be fair if it was drives only the elongated wins
Love your video. I have a Hudef Mage Pro Gen2. I want to hear what you think about it. Will you do a review?
I have them and was able to play them a bit. I plan on doing a review but I didn’t get enough time to make any comments yet. How has it been for you? 14mm or 16mm?
Price aside, what would you choose to take to a tournament right now:
J3K Pro or Sweet Spot Max?
J3K Pro for my aggressive play style. Sweet spot max is probably better for most players
I have never tried the Zane signature series
I want to try the spin/grit of these paddles.
I love grittty!! More spib please!
