I was looking for a new pickleball paddle with a high amount of spin and came across the Spitfire on Mattspickleball reviews. After doing quite a bit of research on the different qualities of it and comparing it to several other paddles, I decided to go ahead and buy the paddle. It's one of the best purchases I have made online.
Right off the bat, I liked the head-heavy feel and the rough grit surface. I play with a lot of spin, so I was very happy with the amount of grit on the surface. The paddle was delivered within 2 business days (extremely fast!) and I had it in my hands an hour before my league. This was the 3rd week of my league and I was 0-4 in week 1 and 2-2 in week 2. I was a bit nervous about playing with a brand new paddle I had never played with in week 3, but I gave it a shot. It felt so good in my hands and was very easy to play with. I was getting a TON of spin on my slice returns, and I also felt like it had a lot more control than my old Joola Perseus. I ended up winning 4-0 that night, after having warmed up for 20 minutes with the new paddle. I've been telling all my friends about the Spartus Spitfire. For $99, it's got to be one of the best paddles out there!

I’m really impressed with my new Spartus Spitfire pickleball paddle! After using it, I can definitely feel an improvement in my overall performance. I love the combination of power and control—it gives me confidence when attacking the ball while still allowing me to place my shots accurately. The paddle feels responsive, stable, and fun to play with. Definitely a great upgrade for my game! Highly recommended!

Tremendous spin. Exceptional power and control into one. Solid feel with long dwell time. I highly recommend this paddle.

The grittiest and sppiniest paddle out there. Fiiiire🔥🔥🔥

Tremenda raqueta impresiona el precio calidad

More than just good at any price. Durable grit. It's a no brainer. When a paddle is this good why spend more. Use the savings to take the misses out for dinner. Or buy LT48 balls

The new Spartus Spitfire is a conglomeratiom compiled from all the other foam and gen 3 paddles combined. It’s not about surface layers but that’s part of it, it’s about the core and how everything works as a system. Some paddles are powerful and you feel that right away, some have more control and power is muted, pop is another trait. But when all this is combined in one unit, music is made. With the game evolving, paddles must also evolve. Spitfire is the paddle that is in tune with today’s game. Power is not noticeable, but its there, control is at your beck and call, pop keeps the ball coming off the face with just the right amount of dwell time to feel your return going right where you planned. It’s the Swiss Army knife of paddles!!!

I’m not someone who changes paddles often. In 7+ years of playing pickleball, I’ve always been a placement-and-spin player who prefers to create my own power.

But after spending some serious court time with the **Spartus Spitfire**, I get it.

Right out of the box, this paddle is impressive. Soften your grip and the power becomes incredibly controllable. The touch is buttery, resets feel natural, and the **spin is absolutely off the charts**.

As a coach, one of the questions I hear all the time is, *“What paddle should I consider?”*

At around **$110, the Spitfire is an easy paddle for me to recommend.** You’re getting modern paddle technology, outstanding spin, plenty of power, and excellent touch without spending $250+.

Several of my students have already ordered one after trying mine.

**The Spitfire simply punches way above its price point. It’s just that good.**

I’m really enjoying it! It’s got plenty of power and it’s got some good feel and touch at the kitchen line.

Been playing everyday for 2-3hrs since receiving about 7 days ago. Surface is maintaining its 'grittiness'. Also has nice plush feeling for foam paddle. Plenty of power, too, although not as poppy as other power foam paddle. Overall a great value.

I love my Spitfire great power and control

I’ve tried many paddles and this has to be the most grittiest paddle I’ve played with. My opponents were amazed of how much spin I had on the ball. Best $99 spent using the code. The only request I have is if they can include an eraser to remove all the marks on the paddle. All in all , a great paddle!

Loved this paddle so much that I bought a second one for a friend! Can’t believe how fast the shipping was.. AMAZING paddle, sounds just like the Inferno (my fav paddle) but has much better grit. Idk how they did it with EPP, but it’s great

It is as advertised and more. Great spin and soft touch is what comes to mind after my first game with it. My wife tried it for one game and ended up taking mine. Oh well, back to the old paddle but at least she’s happy!

Overall great paddle. The paddle is not as stiff making it easier to control and a feel I prefer. Spin is super easy, my drips and drops are butter.

Great paddle for the price. Light and fast yet with enough power. My top paddle for now and i have a lot.

This paddle is just a solid paddle all around with no complaints, with the only minor point coming in a little head-heavier than my preference but easily fixed with a buttcap coin weight. Plays well stock but with the 9g coin and 2g added onto the 4&8 it plays very well. Grit grabs the ball excellently while being fine sandpaper-like.

I absolutely love this paddle. The feel is great, perfect power, not too much not too little. I have the Olympus, also the old school Apollo. This by far is my favorite. Love, love the grit. I think it is the best Budget Paddle of the Year. Keep em coming Spartus!!!

Very gritty, good power, solid pop, very hollow, and solid sweetspot which should get better if you add weight. Incredible value!

I think the paddle is great. The quality and all that feels nice and this is the first like carbon fiber paddle I got. I think the delivery time was good and I don’t think there is really much to improve for the great price point on the paddle.
