Paddle of the year candidate. What a great all around paddle. Soft hollow and powerful. But the best feature is the spin! Crazy spin, the ball dips at the net. I already have the widebody, elongated and now waiting for the flat top hybrid!
I am really having alot of fun with my new paddle. Initially getting used to the power during dinking was the only minor challenge. Probably will get another soon so I can have friends try it.
A+ paddle at an A+ price point. If you put Joola or Selkirk across the top you could sell this for $300. Great grit. Good feel. The power is surprising.
Love this paddle! Nice gritty face, lightweight and easy to customize with tungsten or lead tape
Oh my gosh it is wonderful first time playing out of the box. I bought two knowing someone would want mine after they played with it. Resold it first day and others ordered their own. So light, so fast. I am a 78 year old woman who had loved the APOLLO BUT THIS IS EVEN BETTER. LOVE the HUGE sweet spot, that sound is addictive. I teach senior pickleball and know many of my students will be customers. Hope the grit lasts, so easy to spin the ball. Small grip is a plus.Better than Coral and Honolulu.
Glad I bought the widebody.
This paddle is just so much fun. Lightning fast at the net, a huge sweet spot, plenty of power, but still controllable. I wish the hybrid shape was available and would purchase today!
This is the first paddle I've played that I just don't want to put down. Great spin and sweet spot! All this and a fantastic price together in one package is so good.
I knew I got my money's worth as soon as I played my first game. Even just putting a little effort into creating some spin resulted in several unreturnable shots.
It's really really really hard to hit a ball off-center, to the point where the entire face feels like a giant sweet spot.
Satisfyingly loud, meaty, low-pitched THONK which caught the attention of my open play opponents.
For $100, it really does not get any better than this. I'm considering getting the elongated too for some extra power.
Enjoying my paddle very much. Just enough pop for the perfect reset midcourt, great power for the drivers and hands battles with great control for the angle shots and spin. Sweet spot is a bit smaller than other paddles I’ve had. Overall great buy especially for the price! Would love the shorter handle as an option at some point.
The Spitfire Standard/Widebody is easily one of the best value-for-performance paddles on the market. The 8" widebody shape offers a massive, forgiving sweet spot with amazing lateral stability, making off-center hits much less punishing. At around 107 swingweight, hand speed at the kitchen line feels insanely fast and responsive during quick resets and counter-battles.
Excellent for the price! Great pop and spin with very good control. Large sweet spot and I love the sound of the pop. I actually like the Spitfire more than the P1. Can’t go wrong with the retail price but even better with discount codes.
Widebody has huge sweet spot and the spin is amazing . The spin is still excellent after 40 games.
I ordered widebody Spitfire. Its really good and insane level of spin. Its really a good paddle who’s looking for power with control
Love the grit on this paddle which help generate a lot of spin, feels fast in the hands (widebody) with enough pop to put away the balls!
Great spin with mid-power and good control. That's hard to find that combo. It also comes in pretty low static weight and really low swing weight with the wide body. Only took me about 1/2 game to dial it in. I didn't pop any balls up which is a huge bonus. Grit is holding up so far. Great paddle at an even better price! It's not high power and it's not stiff, so be aware of that if those are your preferences. Highly recommend this paddle.
The Spitfire is an amazing value! Very easy to recommend for about $100!
Pros: Really good power on hard shots. Good spin on soft shots. You can really aim your shots well.
Cons: Off-center shots feel very strange. This paddle is poppy and that can make resets challenging if you’re not used to that.
This paddle has everything- power, spin, control. Almost makes my brain dead shots in - that is high praise
This is the first widebody paddle I have used and it has been great. Coming from a gen 1 paddle makes this paddle feel like it's on its own level. The spin and placement I can put on hits has been great.
Took a few games and adding some weight to it, but once those things have been done I am really enjoying the paddle. My kitchen game in general and counters specifically have never been better.
Very stable paddle to start with.. Added 3grams strips at 3&9 position. Made it even more stable to play with. And for a $100.00…. REALLY. Bravo for your company…
Sounds more hollow but love the feel and weight on it. It’s a beautiful paddle just like the elongated but slightly faster at the net for hands battles. Love the grit and love the feel of the paddle.
I switched from a Joola Gen IV and found this paddle to be more stable and easier for me to control. Great value. The default grip was not to my liking but I redid the grip with my preferred grip. Not a huge additional cost. Overall pleased so far.
Great paddle, especially for it’s price point! Huge sweet spot and just overall really fun to play with. It has more power and better control than a lot of more expensive paddles that I’ve used in the past.
This is the first wide-body paddle I've bought in a couple of years. I originally ordered the elongated version but opted to the standard to get delivery sooner. So far I've been very happy with the purchase. The paddle has a generous sweet spot, plenty of spin and power. The texture on the face is more pronounced than any of the other paddles I own so I'm hoping the longer lasting grit will last. So, all-in-all I'm very happy with this budget-priced paddle.
