I recently ordered this pickleball paddle for my teen son who has taken up the sport. He was extremely excited to receive the paddle, and immediately noted how attractive the design the paddle has. Theres a nice lightweight feel to it, but still feel solid in your hand. The handle has a nice grip, and does well over extended play. My son is a newbie to the sport, but seems to really enjoy playing with this paddle. He said that it’s without question superior to his prior paddle that fatigued his hand with lots of use, and the weight of this racket helps him move more fluidly. The racket comes with a very easy to use cover, and goes on, and off with ease. Theres also an eraser for the paddle included. It comes packaged so nicely, and would make a great gift for anyone who happens to enjoy this sport. I feel like the paddle is priced fairly for what you receive.

I recently took up pickleball, and couldn’t be more impressed with the Vintage MX carbon fiber paddle. Aside from the excellent performance, it is sleek looking which was just an added bonus.
The paddle measures approximately 16.5″ by 7.5″ – It is lightweight and is exceptionally comfortable to hold while playing. The handle has a perforated grip that helps to prevent the paddle from slipping out of your hand. It is also comfortable to hold allowing for extended play time.
The Vintage Max 5 comes with the paddle, a good quality cloth case, and an eraser. The eraser works well to clean the carbon fiber by remove debris and residue to ensure optimal performance of your paddle.
Overall, this paddle is exactly as described. Highly recommend!
