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.

I am super happy with my Spitfire widebody. It took minimal time to adjust to my new paddle. Spartus is showing the pickleball world that other companies are overcharging for paddles.

Nice paddle. A little head heavy it felt but great control & pop/power

Excellent paddle. Comparable power and pop to a boomstick with more touch. Great value!

This is now my favorite paddle! I ordered the wide body and have been playing it stock. The spin is great, which makes baseline drives dip. What surprised me was the feel with drops, I appreciate the control I have.

The paddle has great power, pop and spin. It's light stock weight allowed me to weight it up to 8.5 ozand make it feel even better. It's very stable for resets and counters. I seem to get more shots back over the net when playing defense. The spin is great and I like that it's easy to get my returns deep. Also when countering drives I feel like I can punch the ball back deeper and I have good control with placement. It can be a little poppy when dinking so you have to dial it in.

Great paddle for the money. I rarely do reviews but this deserves one.

I've had the elongated Spitfire and I've been using it as my main in the past 2-3 months. Purchased the widebody the other week and was surprised with the difference. It has the same spin, if not better. Its a little bit more poppy than the elongated. It needs quite a bit of adjusting. But it could just be a break in thing. I love it though. I believe this is the best paddle line ever, price included.

This is a great paddle. It has great control, great resets, and power when I need it.

Top performance for a bargain price! Elite spin, power and pop. The widebody has good control and is easy to hit the ball solidly. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a paddle.

Well balanced and big sweetspot.

Just an awesome paddle!
$100 paddle with $300 performance and quality🤙

Good power, great pop at the kitchen. The paddle has a nice feel and not stiff. The sweet spot is big therefore making it very forgiving.

Amazing, but slightly poppy. Anthony approves

As an 4.0+ player who plays around 15 hours a week and has tried dozen paddles this year, I can confidently say the Spitfire Widebody is the best overall value I’ve found. Elite performance, excellent feel, and an unbeatable price point. Highly recommended!
Great power, pop, and feel. This is an excellent paddle at any price, but at around $100, it’s an absolute steal.

Another winner. The widebody plays a little more aggressive. One of the best widebodys out there.

The Spartus Spitfire Widebody is an impressive paddle for players seeking a balance of spin, power, and maneuverability at an affordable price. Its Gen 4 Turbo Foam construction and textured carbon-fiber face offer excellent spin potential, making it well suited for topspin drives, aggressive counters, and serves. The widebody shape provides a forgiving hitting area and quick handling for fast kitchen exchanges. However, its lively feel may take some adjustment for players who prioritize soft touch, and it offers less reach than the elongated version. Overall, it’s a strong value for doubles players who want an aggressive, spin-focused paddle without spending premium prices.

The Spitfire Widebody is exactly what I have been waiting for. I purchased the elongated Spitfire a month ago but was having trouble adjusting to the higher swing weight and balance point. The Widebody is perfect for my style of play. It is quick in the hands, has a large sweet spot, is very forgiving and the spin is top tier. When Spartus releases their Hybrid I will definitely purchase it.

So I've been in my worst sports slump ever since the end of July barely winning matches, let alone games. My regular shots just weren't working anymore! I was using the Spartus P1 to play with the Franklin X-40 which went pretty well, but not perfect. I couldn't use the P1 with the Lifetime ball as it just played way different by popping up, rolls going out, no quick hands so losing most hand battles, and timing way off. For that ball, I had to use an alternate paddle I won't name, but also had the same problem in reverse, but worse. I know 1 problem was they were both too head heavy which is probably what threw my timing off, and deleted my quick hands.

Enter the Spartus Spitfire, my last hope; It was seriously getting depressing because I knew I could play way better! So last Wednesday I had a great session prepping my guys for a tourney winning 5-2 using the X-40, so that gave me some hope; the real test would be the Lifetime ball. Monday I played with that ball, and played phenomenal! I was still skeptical maybe getting lucky or needing to play tougher matchups. So I played yesterday and killed with it again. Each day was compliments how much better I was playing, and having been the best on the court each day. I'm was back to form!

I was shocked at how little adjustment I needed, it felt like I was using this paddle for a while already. I have a long history using Spartus; it's hands down the best, most consistent brand I've ever used. No I'm not getting paid to say this! 😂 I had 4 Spartus Apollo Kevlar's which was the best paddle I've ever used, just their grit didn't last as was common back then. It go discontinued so I moved to the Spartus Oracle Apex which was pretty good, but fell behind the Apollo a little bit, really liked it though. Then that got discontinued for the Spartus P1 with the new grit technology. Great paddle, but I had trouble switching between ball brands as mentioned. The Spartus Spitfire is, at minimum, equal to the Apollo, but may be ever better! If the grit lasts a long time, it'll be my clear #1!

Anyway, down to how it plays. I'm a former high level badminton player (long time ago! 😂) so I have lots of power in my game. This makes me mostly lean to widebody control paddles as power can be added with lead tape, but it's much harder to add control. The Spitfire is the ultimate control paddle, but with power when needed! I can endurance dink at will, put away the ball with a massive smash, and basically do what I want when I want with the ball. The Apollo lacked a bit of power, but could always be added with lead tape. I haven't used a better balanced power/control paddle for me than the Spitfire. It literally blows anything out of the water I have used before minus the Apollo; still better though!

At this insane price for a great paddle, I definitely advise you give it a try! I'm literally going to buy a backup one after I submit this review.

I'M BACK Baby! 🔥

I'm 74 and a 4.0 player. Have had many paddles, mostly Engage and Selkirk. Decided to try the Spitfire after Chris Olson's review. I've always played elongated, but decided to try a widebody after doing a swing/twist weight comparison. Playing it stock, without adding weight, and love it. Big sweet spot. Very stable. Tons of control. Plenty of power....and the value is unbeatable. Nice work Spartus!

Takes getting use to. Louder than other paddles. Getting use to spin. Grit feels great.

I love this paddle. I'm letting my friends hit it and some said they are ordering it. I expect some perks for helping promote it. Great job making this paddle. Still breaking it in. Great pop and spin.

excellent paddle, hits well and the grit for spin is awesome! Price point with cover and shipping included makes this a good buy. The shorter handle works better for my smaller hand's vs the elongated model.
