Transcript of Video #1 - Tyler Loong

Hey guys, my name is Tyler Loong and I'm from Highland, Utah. I've been playing with the Z5 for the past 3-4 years. It was my first paddle that I ever used and I just really grew to like this paddle and learned to love it. I really like the balance of it, the weight of it, and also the feel that it gives me. I've tried other paddles before and this one just really sticks with me and so I really like the feel that it gives me.

    A lot of bang for the buck. Like it so far. Has some serious pop, which I noticed on the first return of serve. Was an easy adjustment after that. The added power is helpful for any 3.0-3.5 player who doesn’t want to break the bank for a new weapon.

    It's fine if you like a paddle that tends heavy and wide. I'm glad I tried it because it helped me clarify that a paddle build to optimize a large sweet spot leaves me feeling like I'm playing pong - just trying to deflect the ball in the right direction. I now play with a Bantam TS-5. The polymer honeycomb core is more responsive and the lighter weight allows for more finesse, but I don't lose out on power too much due to the fiberglass face (and I can't just drive every ball anyway at a higher level of play).***PBC Response*** Thanks for taking the time to leave a review!

    I was so excited to get this paddle and it had improved my game. It hits solid and I can be more aggressive. However, after 1 month the handle is falling apart and the tape is coming off so I’m sadly returning it. ***PBC Response*** Thanks for taking the time to leave a review!

    I like the control and ability to hit smash shots with more precision. I would give it 5 stars but I have had to dig out carbon/graphite splinters from my hand twice.

    The paddle is nice and light, but everyone complained about how loud it was. Other players had the same paddle without the noise. Maybe mine was an anomaly.***PBC Response*** Thanks for taking the time to leave a review!

    Very disappointed in this paddle. Even as a medium weight, felt very light. Not at all responsive. Even though sweet spot supposed to be large, was very small. Paddle felt very "tinny" and lacked power and feel. Way overpriced. It's going to be on the table at the next garage sale. ***PBC Response*** Hey David, Thanks for taking the time to leave a review!

  • The Z5 Is A Great Paddle For A Beginner

    May 2, 2023

    I'm not a paddle or a pickleball expert. I've been playing for a year, here and there but I was never serious about it. I had wood paddles that were good. But heavy. people were starting to love pickleball so I tried it. I went to a pickleball restaurant to try it, and my mom bought a net so we could play in our driveway. I tried one of the paddles at the restaurant and I thought "I need a new paddle." I ordered the Z5 and fell in love with it immediately. It has a great feel and it looks so cool and modern. It hits the pickleballs great and far, and it has great control. So as you can guess I love pickleball even more now. If your a beginner or even a pro, I definitely recommend this paddle.
