I'm absolutely amazed by this paddle! I initially thought that many of the reviews were exaggerated but the price point was low enough to give it a shot.
I have used several Six Zero and Ronbus paddles along with a few other brands and this Spitfire has been on the money. I thought it would take time to get used to this paddle because of the increased power (in comparison to the Ripple series and Coral pro) but it was easier to control right off the bat! I found it relatively easy to dink crosscourt and in front of me without worrying too much about popping it up. The increased spin also helped with serving as I was able to keep my swing without it going long. In fact, it would drop close to the kitchen line instead of the base line!
I also tried a few slice serves and I could easily see it in the air with such an exaggerated curve. Even backspin returns would give my opponents some difficulty in getting it back over the net.
As far as power, it definitely has more than the Ripple, Refoam, Ruby, and Vapor. I love the intimidating sound it has when I smash an overhead. It really gives an intimidating sound especially indoors. Incredibly, I actually body bagged (not intended) someone (a 4.0 player) who was standing at the baseline after hitting a floating dink. It was so fast he couldn't get out of the way. Actually just today I hit an overhead winner from the baseline from a deep lob. That was something I would never have tried with my other paddles.
Needless to say, I highly recommend this paddle for the ease of use and well balanced power and spin. I just hope that the grit will last as advertised (or longer) as I typically play 3-5 times a week.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Love my Spartus Spitfire Paddle! Lightweight, easy to control, and has great power and spin. Very comfortable to play with and definitely worth it! 🏓
This paddle has taken over my main over my J2CR CBE, Tornazo 2, & EPP Turbo. I love the feel of this paddle. My drops are smooth, drives are good, spin is amazing. The paddle face feels gritty. I love it, thinking of getting another one.
This paddle is amazing, you can feel the power and so as your opponent, it made my services more powerful and with the spin, wow!! You see the ball just curved and gets your opponent a surprise. For control, compare to Holbrook Fuze, Spitfire is a bit more pop but if you combined with spin the ball totally gets down to your opponent’s feet. Great buy for the price as well, totally no brainer.
It literally spit fire! The moment any balls hitting the paddle, it burst with excitement upon contact. Amazing!
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🔥🔥🔥
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’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
