PickleballCentral Expert's Corner:
Reviews of the TOPP Revive Composite Pickleball Paddle by Pickleball Central Staff:
"I test a lot of paddles in my job, and this is the first time I've ever described a paddle like this: 'It feels like butter'. The ball is smooth off the paddle every time I hit it! The teardrop shape is shared with it's Revive Graphite brother, but the fiberglass Composite face of this version adds a bit more weight (and power) to the paddle. The sweet spot is very large for a fiberglass/tear drop, but it has a distinct power zone in the center of the face. I feel like there is good balance on this paddle (not head heavy like some teardrop shaped paddles, so my hand speed was quick. I like this paddle a lot. If you are looking for a light, power oriented paddle, this is a great option."

"With the resurgence of some teardrop designs, I spent today testing the new TOPP Revive paddles; both the Graphite (see that product page for my review) an the Composite paddle. The composite weighs around .4 - .5 ounces heavier than the Graphite, and gives you a bit more power. My demo unit weighed in at 7.8 ounces, so I found the paddle to be pretty quick in terms of head speed, but it concentrates the power in a bit more of up onto the paddle face. I would describe the paddle as weight biased slightly towards to the face. The ball felt great coming off the face, with very little vibration - the paddle plays 'quiet'. The shape made the paddle very quick to the ball, allowing me to let the ball travel just a little longer before I had to swing. That let me see the ball better and really place it where I wanted. If you want a paddle that has some real power, plays quiet, and gives you good hand speed, you need to try the TOPP Revive Composite.
