But vibrates out of the box! Wow great paddle?! When modified the vibration is acceptable?
How does the VM2 16mm compare to the Engage Pursuit Pro EX 6.0?
How it compare with theJ2k and Swice Slice Pro?
Thanks! A very helpful video. I love that you speak clearly and are easy to understand. I use a one handed backhand but I would think the same tips would apply. Interesting I never think about using power with my Backhand but had a powerful backhand in tennis. I just sold my dbd. Great paddle but a little too much pop. I'm shuffling between the Neonic Flow, Vatic Prism and am going to try the SLK Omega. I had a Luxx but didn't love it. I guess if I had to pick one paddle it woukd be the Vatic. Pretty close to the dbd without the popiness. Yes, would love to see the full lesson.
Just added 3g at 10 and 2 last night. Outstanding power and stability. Doesn’t feel any slower at the net. Deep serves and drives all day long!
Great job guys! Have you considered reviewing the carbon pickle paddles? I have the Pro and I like it way better than the Luxx.
Is there a standard shape cf+kevlar paddle on the market?
That will be the FatBoy when it comes out. Otherwise I don't think one exists.
@@PickleballStudio I hope they execute it well! Do you know if they will have varying thicknesses? Handle circumference sizes? General weight?
Bros videos are on par with John Kew
Can you please do a review on the Omega Raptor and Raptor X?? I think it's a hidden gem also!
Ordered the volair mach 2 forza and used your code. Thanks. See you guys on the court soon.
Can we expect a j2k review?
It's high up on his list. It might be next.
The Apollo is my favorite paddle I've ever tried. I like it so much I have 3 of them now. If you prioritize hands battles, it is so quick to maneuver and has great pop. I was actually surprised that it actually has good power on serves and drives.
Great video. I love the plush feel of the Mach 2 Forza, I just keep coming back to it. Would be awesome to see a video reviewing eye protection.
You mean a video on the importance of eye protection? Or a comparioson review of different eye protection products?
Excellent. Now make a 14mm version.
Since sweet spot was an issue on the tko-cx, were you able to improve the sweet spot with lead tape?
I'm a little confused, the twistweight on the TKO-CX was higher than the TKO-C, so why do you say the TKO-C gives you faster hands?
The polo is very Andre Agassi in his glory days. Solid drip Chris.
One ugly paddle. Can’t do it.
What about it is ugly?
Ive heard so many reviewers say its ugly, I think its cool looking and it plays great.
Yea “counter reset” it should be called
Wish they had a 14mm
i started doing the low tomahawk when other teams are baseline, as an alternative to backhand roll/flick. This came after watching another player do a full squat and basically hit an overhead smash from the crouched position. Nevertheless, once you get pretty low to the floor you get a good perspective of where everyone is at, and can adjust the angle of the tomahawk to either hit flat and deep, or angle the ball shallow with big angle. It's very affective if you can squat properly. Then again, ...my ancestors actually picked rice as farmers so i think its in my blood. 😂
I noticed the hesacore adds some static weight. Does the hesacre increase swing weight?
Negligible with a medium white on it. The thing is so dang quick at the net. A little more power for sure.
Can you use an eraser on kevlar like carbon fiber?
100% yes
@mikeyis009 so whats the real difference in the two materials for a face material?
You can literally bounce the ball in the air on the Apollo logo repeatedly with a 3 of 10 grip. It’s incredible
I had a similar tungsten setup as you used on my M2F 14. I replaced it with the .5 gram per inch around the whole paddle head and liked it better. The weight is similar in total to what you have.
Pizza Pizza
The Apollo allows me to hit tennis like top spin forehands! The paddle bites ball really good! I have mine loaded with lead tape! My old Mach 1 Forzda lost the ability to bite the ball.
3:23 what are they except M2F?
What if you just move the band further down where there's no perceivable gap? Wouldn't that get rid of the extra vibration?
Aizec's top standards are similar to mine but I wear my court shoes everywhere like Chris 😂
Chris, will you be reviewing the ProXR wide body for comparison as well?
How does this compare to the Mach 2 Forza 14mm? I know you compared it to 16mm.
Reviewers always conflate "sweet spot" with "stability". Higher twist weight always improves stability, even if it doesn't always correlate with improved sweet spot because the latter is also highly influenced by how robustly the paddle is built, it's shape, the core and face materials, etc.
Nice review! And unfortunately we may not have access within 2 years after newly proposed $$$ barrier to entry for paddle manufacturers. Also just realized the youtube reviewers will have less content creation too! Stupid proposal and just corporate greed... business as usual.
Did they fix the delamination issues and the multi piece handle?
Yeah
Yes. They replaced all the first run ones for free.
Bro I hate how much better the J3K looks in my eyes. I bought the Apollo and love how it plays but hate how it looks and it’s driving me nuts seeing other standard shape paddles that are square and have a better taper. 😢
Can we get a review on the pickleball pokers new joker when u get a chance 🙏
I wish they'd stop with the short handles, or at least make it taper up to make it 5.5-5.6".
It's advertised as a 5.5 in handle though. Everyone just measures it differently.
That forehead eye protection woooooo wweee
I only recently got the muvn gruvn 13s, first standard shape paddle, does the shape really have less plow through on drives compared to enlongated ones
Yes, standard shapes almost always have less plow through than an elongated shape. You can always fix this by adding lead/tungsten to the paddle though.
After the whole gen 3 joola fiasco, buying the paddle to have it be banned in the same month. I’m very cautious of buying any new paddles now if usap can just ban anything whenever they want.
Been loving this paddle. Wanted to add some weight and interested what different peoples setups are. How much weight did you add in those 3 spots?
The Apollo is a wide body not standard shape.
This is my paddle of choice at the moment. Love it.
Amrik plays with a Black Ace!?!?!? As if he doesn't have enough power on his own. And I love to see that Aizec finds a way into every one of your videos these days. You'd better watch your back Chris.
He does...and it's terrifying to be on the other side of him with that paddle. 😂 It was even scarier when he was demoing the gen 3 Joola's.
Chris I need you to review the new proxr paddles please 🙏🏻
Love the review! I am also running the Apollo, M2F, and the FatBoy and I love the different options that are not power paddles! I really hope the paddle nerd community can help squash the UPA-A attempt at a monopoly! Brands like Selkirk, Onix and Gearbox were great to progress the game forward until they weren't...
How do they compare? I have the Apollo… curious how it compares to the fatboy and M2F.
@@juansantiago1441I agree with Chris that the M2F has more control than the Apollo, but the Apollo is super fun to play with! I just got the FatBoy and I will be playing with it hopefully this weekend. Just dinking around the garage brought a smile to my face though and the branding is always top notch!
@@jncgregg interested in Fatboy vs Apollo comparison… trying to justify the purchase if it’s that much better than the Apollo. B&B makes nice paddles but nothing ever really stands out for me performance wise. The branding is nice but that’s about it in my opinion.
@@juansantiago1441 you may be better off using Chris's promo code and getting another Apollo! Best value in the paddle space!
Please compare to FatBoy…I love the branding on it.
I love mine. The pop was aggressive at first but once it's broken in the paddle feels a lot more balance.
Can you provide details of your tungsten setup? 1g per inch tape? 1inch above the throat and 4 or 5 inch strip? And on top ?
1g per inch 2 inches above throat 5 inch strip on the sides 4 inch strip on top.
@@PickleballStudio what’s your opinion on a solid 4 in strip on top vs dividing the top tape in two pieces and placing them on top corners? Just curious if you tried different setups.
I didn't try doing that, but I think that could work well too.
@@PickleballStudio What was your final weight with the new grip and three strips of weight?
How does it compare to the Fat boy? 😎
