My 10 year old son loves his PhD paddle. He plays completive tennis, so he has no trouble handling the weight of an "adult" paddle. It's perfect for his 2 handed backhand and also helps him create a ton of topspin. He and I just took bronze in a local tournament here in Illinois and had crowds of people watching the 10 year old play and compete with grown adults. He was the only kid out there, and he loves ripping winners with his PhD. I just ordered the Pro for my wife, and I won't be far behind in upgrading my paddle with you, as well.
I love the paddle have great topspin great control. It you're really good when I play higher level. Can't wait I need to buy more and I have friends want to get some too from Arlington Texas.
I love your paddles, but the only reason I canāt give you a five star is because two of the last three paddles have cracked In the same place (!) after only three months use. Some paddle manufacturers have a lifetime warranty. Iām not expecting that. In fact you kindly replaced one of them for me, but not the second one. If it happens again, this will have to be the last professor I will buy. Fingers crossed!
Strikes from the sweet spot are great. The paddle offers more control than other paddles I've used. The paddle handle is slightly longer and offers a bit more reach. The paddle is solid.
After owning a pair of Volair paddles, I wanted to see how yours compare so I ordered one. Thought the Professor PHD was a bit better than the Volair, so I now own two PHD!! I was a 5.0 USTA rated tennis player, and your paddle has made it easy to translate my old tennis slice into pickleball slice!!
Paddle was as advertised. Control is the best i have ever hadā¦.plenty of pop to the paddle as well. I will definitely look to buy additional paddles from PHD
Have around 6hrs with this new Black PhD 16MM Raw Carbon Super Spin Paddle, The grip fits my hand well and the control, power and spin are working good. I'm a 4.0 player and win about 80% of my matches. You can't beat the price for this quality paddle.
Hey Ryan ,
Love your Professor . I have been in tennis for nearly 45 , as a former player and USPTA trained teaching pro . I tested top of the line in Selkirk and Joola , as you know I purchased your brand . It's a great story how that happened , but too long this E mail . Have some great ideas on how to better promote your line and it will cost you next to nothing . If you're interested please give me a call .
Julian , 727 252 3673 . Thanks
The paddle feels great in my hand and the weight feels perfect , however the face of the paddle feels very narrow, wish it was wider, then it would be a perfect paddle. Tried to return it. 30% restocking fee plus shipping . Its cheaper to just keep it . I guess theyāre counting on that.
Nice paddle, lighter than my old one, getting some brake in games. Found some nice back spin off the paddle. But learning to play with a lighter paddle. Like It.
Paddle is working out real nice. Added power and spin to my serves. Nice soft shots during dinking session. Plus, it looks real nice and the handle is just right. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PADDLE
I've only used it once and it was good. It did give me the added spin I was looking, as well as the ability to bang with the best of them. But I need more time to give you an in depth evaluation.
I bought 2 of them for my wife and I and we absolutely love them! Light weight, very strong allowing for great serves and returns. Canāt wait to use them more. Highly recommend.
Iāve just starting using it and right away, my power and control improved.The partners I play with noticed a definite improvement to my game. They are considering buying one themselves.
I love the feel and how this paddle responds, however my hand is not as big as a guy, so I'm trying to adjust to the grip. Would you happen to have a slightly small handle, width-wise?
The paddle is a huge step up over my previous Amazon budget find. Definitely have more control over my shots and it feels great to use. Really happy with my purchase.
I bought 2 of these paddles as an upgrade from my husband and my beginner paddles and WOW what a difference! I love the longer handle and the slightly rough surface. Itās very light and my accuracy went up 100%! As an old tennis player I recommend this as a better fit to anything else on the market.
