Great performance from a beginner: This Ekelton paddle was my first foray into non-big box store pickleball paddles, and I could immediately tell the difference. While I'm not a serious enough player to warrant the $200+ paddles, this paddle has truly elevated my game and made me a better player on the court. There are shots I hit the same that previously went into the net that now go over!

Ektelon 13 Inferno paddle: The paddle had a good feel but was too powerful for my game. I am exchanging the 13 fir the 16, hoping that the 16 will offer more control and fewer balls hit long.

Great paddle, superb price: Have tried at least 10 paddles through demo and purchased a few (Pickleball addiction!). My Ektelon Inferno 13mm gives me the most confidence playing with both outdoor and indoor (quite a few basketball surface courts here in MN) balls. Also love the look. Thanks Ektelon :)

Great Paddle: The paddle is easy to maneuver and has a lot of power. A perfect all around paddle with good balance. I like the 13 mm and will continue to use this paddle.

Ektelon 16 and 13: I demoed both of these paddles and I felt the 16 was too top heavy and I lost power and consistency on my serve. The 13 was nice when volleying and hitting from the baseline, but I also felt something missing on my serve. If they had a light version of the 13, I would have bought the paddle.
