This is more than a beginner paddle. I am considered a 4.0 level player and the results HISK gives is incomparable. Love my HISK pickleball paddle!
Highly recommended! Thanks for making this great video.
Durability: I have been playing with my HISK RAV PRO for over 7 months and still solid and performs great!

[@HighFivePickleball]

Thank you! Great point. I’ve played with it and let plenty of 4.5-5.0+ players demo it and they all thought it was comparable to their $200+ paddles. It’s a steal at that price point.

[@HighFivePickleball]

I’m glad it was helpful! Thank you for the comment

[@getahunhaile9]

Thanks for your excellent recommendations. May I know who you are and what qualifications you have to do this video. I just need more assurance. Thanks

[@HighFivePickleball]

I’m a TH-camr and a licensed instructor with the IPTPA, and I’ve spent thousands of hours on the court. But honestly those things don’t compare to your own experience and preference with paddles. That’s why at the beginning I suggest trying a demo program.

Have you heard about the Oliver brand

I have not

Your comment about buying a paddle from a company with good quality control is somewhat funny given that the company that many of the top pros use has a well known reputation for poor quality control and has had its newest generation of paddles banned from pro use.
Pickleball is one of the few sports where small companies have been able to innovate and come out with products that are both better than the big name brand paddles and half or a third of their price.
On thing to be aware of is that pickleball paddle cores will deteriorate over time and use, and wear out. Unlike a tennis racquet that can be restrung when the strings loosen up, a worn out paddle is no longer useable. Therefore unless money is no object, it makes little sense to be buying a paddle that is $200+.

I’m assuming you’re referring to the issue with Joola? Notice that my paddle recommendations didn’t include Joola. The new reflection tests with the usapa have affected multiple companies, including Ronbus and Vatic Pro and some of the biggest companies do lead innovation because they have budgets for R&D. (E.g. Selkirk labs) However, only the best companies will be able to scale their innovation to keep it high quality over time.
