Gave the Picknix Pro a shot. Thing is great with a build quality beyond the price. Super forgiving, great grit and spin production and hits hard for a standard shape. If you don't need the longer handle for a 2H BH and are good with a firmer feel, it's absolutely great.
Great list of budget friendly paddles but if I had to pick, I’d go with the 11SIX24 YSF paddle! I’ve heard a lot of great things about it especially at that price point
I just got the Spartus Apollo. I am SO impressed with the product this company is putting out. If you’re looking for a control oriented paddle with the pro of that thermoformed power definitely check it out. I added a little pit of tungsten tape towards the top to give it the put away power I was looking for. Spartus has definitely earned my trust moving forward.
I have been really wanting to try out 11Six24 paddles, so that is my pick. That being said what I really want is a Sparta's Apollo, their upcoming Kevlar face widebody.
Triple J Judah is quite exceptional, the swing weight is only 115 which is very good for an elongated paddle, and the twist is 6.3 which is not bad for an elongated paddle. could bump the swing weight up to 117-118 and increase the swing weight a little by adding lead tapes. It could be a good all court paddle. It looks cool with the Judah's lion. How about the spin?
Im liking the Vatic prism flash 14 so far. Ive heard the most hype from 11six4, neonic and Honolulu pb latetly. In the past Spartus had some buzz, but has been quieter lately. Probably because there isn’t anything new and shiny for folks to review?
I actually did one before on this channel. Very solid thermoformed paddles that allow good customization. An easy recommendation for when you want good Quality Control and customization of swing weight
Unfortunately that's just how we do things on the channel. We just show gameplay of the paddles in play and talk about how they are. It's a different take from people just showing pictures of the paddle and talking about them
This was meant to be more of a showcase of the companies themselves rather than an actual comparison video. I've done video reviews of almost all the paddles mentioned above on the channel already so didn't feel the need to go into specifics on each one
Unfortunately that's the style of the channel. If you want in depth stats or looks on a paddle, we believe you can view that on the company website. We prefer to show gameplay of the paddles in action while we speak about its qualities
Love that you are showcasing lesser-known paddle companies, keep up the good work!

Thank you sir. Honored. Also that last point was bananas!
Thanks for covering these high quality budget options! I just got my Piknix Pro last night. I can’t wait to try it today!

Awesome budget options!
I love the design of the Judah! Has to be my favorite spec wise on the list.
I’m interested in the Hudef Gen 2 paddle since I’ve heard it’s packed with tons of power.

J3 seems what I would want to try, but the Judah sounds interesting.
The hype around the Honolulu paddles makes me wanna try them!
A lot of cool paddles on this list I haven’t heard of before!
I've heard great things about the neonic paddles
I am really intrigued both Neonic and Triple J. I have heard good things about both companies and their price points are great!
Ive been wanting to try out the Neonic. I also think Friday paddles shouldve been added! Commenting to enter the giveaway too 😁.
Favorite is the J2 Sword & Shield! Neonic second, and of course, the Jahking is there too.
I've hit the 11six24 Hurache-X and liked it very much. I would expect the YSF to play a bit softer and interested in giving it a try sometime.
The Mark Pickleball paddles would be a good addition to the list!
I have been playing the hudef viva gen 2, love the power but I'm thinking about trying out a hybrid with a lower swing weight.
On this list I think the Mage Pro, Sword & Shield J2, and Aiso Centric are all solid options to check out
Great review and solid options !
have the ionic force and it is a great choice for the price point
I love the design of J2. Seems interesting buy.
My Hudef Mage is awesome in hand battles.

Love the explanation on Thermoforming!
triple j is definitely a cool company

It could be a good all court paddle. It looks cool with the Judah's lion. How about the spin?
Spin is up there with other RCF paddles. Not the most I've seen but it provides plenty of good spin!
I liked the Pickln Helios so much that I’ve bought 2 of them
The mage pro is the best value From this video
Great line-up!

Spartus actually has a Kevlar widebody paddle dropping, the Apollo. I'm waiting for my review unit to come but will be posting a review!
Sweet! Can’t wait to hear about it. Love the focus on affordable paddle brands.
Thanks, great info!
I'd love to hear your thoughts on the Garye, which takes low prices on thermoformed paddles to a whole new level
Hopefully sometime in the future. The price point on that is pretty crazy for a thermo
Great review of the budget line! This is the video people need to see!
I hope I win!!
Ain't got no IG for giveaway 😐
Shoot me an email at ticklemypickleball35@gmail.com
Could you test Mark Pickleball?
Will hopefully have a review by next week!
Any word on Juciao?
Nope haven't heard anything from them
when are the hats dropping
Once I find the right color
neonic flow please
What about Hisk Pro??
Hisk Pro is a Gen 1.5 paddle and not a Gen 2 thermoformed so it wasn't included
@@TickleMyPickleball Honorable mention xD I love the Hisk paddles.
Can you do a review on the Thrive paddle?
I actually did one before on this channel. Very solid thermoformed paddles that allow good customization. An easy recommendation for when you want good Quality Control and customization of swing weight
Great rundown of the excellent options for Gen2 paddles!
Any plans to review the Spartus Apollo? The specs look great on it, at least to me. 😊
@@paulelkins425 yup! Waiting for mine to arrive before I can begin play testing
Great review as always. Interested for a review of the Thrive Azul.
When is the actual giveaway? I realize you didnt mention a timeframe 🙃
It's been completed already. The winner was announced on instagram
It would be better if you show the paddles that you are reviewing than showing 4 unknown players playing a game 😅
Unfortunately that's just how we do things on the channel. We just show gameplay of the paddles in play and talk about how they are. It's a different take from people just showing pictures of the paddle and talking about them
IMO, your comparison would've been more effective if you showcased each paddle.
This was meant to be more of a showcase of the companies themselves rather than an actual comparison video. I've done video reviews of almost all the paddles mentioned above on the channel already so didn't feel the need to go into specifics on each one
Please show the products on your presentations and not you guys playing...
