Spectrum Pro Pickleball Paddle by Prince Review

Product quality is good. I don't like the thickness of the paddle and the square grip. But that's just my personal design taste and has nothing to do with the manufacturer or the brand.

Straight out of the box this was clearly a demo racquet. The packaging was also very poor. Damage on all four sides. I have no problem with the price but expect a new paddle when I buy it. If I had bought it used I would have expected a discount. Not impressed to say the least.

The first time I used this racket my game was on! At the end of the two-hour session, one of my opponents was surprised at my good play and commented on it. I knew I was playing well, but I was glad someone noticed a difference in my game. I am a 71 year old doubles player who loves this game. I had no idea that using a different paddle could make such a difference in my game.

I heard this is the best paddle. I was so excited. A week later the paddle broke on top and I was unable to contact anyone to see if they would send me a new one. No answers, nothing. I know this is an amazing paddle but after a week the top part cracked. Was this defective? someone help! I'll definitely try another one, but I'm not satisfied. If I don't reach them, I'll go on a rough wave, but I'd like to try again.

Absolutely fantastic paddles! I have both Response and Spectrum. I play Response and my wife fell in love with Spectrum. Since buying them I have continued to test other very high quality paddles to see if they are any better. NO! There may have been differences here and there, but every time I've gone back to the Prince paddles, they just felt "special" in my hand. You do everything well. All. Absolute 5 stars from me and my wife.

Paddles are different and everyone likes something different. However, this is the best paddle I have ever owned. Many clicks, but light and fast in the hand. I love that you can choose the size and weight of the handle. I'm older and wanted a lighter paddle, but that often means less power. This is not the case with this paddle. Also, I have a large hand but short fingers (XL Kadett) and I find a thinner grip ideal for my hand. To each their own, but I love this paddle.

The Spectrum Pro works as promised. As a 3.5 player looking to get better, this racquet should help me get to the next level. It has a great feel and feel which has helped me play dink and volleyball. Although mine is very light (7.4 ounces), it offers more than enough power. It's expensive so I wouldn't recommend it as a first paddle for beginners. But if you've been playing for a while and decide you like pickled ball and want to improve it, this racquet is for you.

After trying 4 paddles I finally found what I wanted! I like the grip size (small) and sweetspot size (huge) option. The weight distribution, which is different than other paddles of the same weight, takes some getting used to. The power is very good, but the feel and touch are EXCELLENT. I feel like my net feel has improved a lot with this paddle. Even though it's more psychological than a real racket, it worked! Prince is a trusted name in tennis and they seem to take their pickleball…
