Warping Point Carbon Fiber Pickleball Paddle with Aero Throat, USAPA Approved Pickleball Thermoformed Racket for Power & Control, 13mm & 16mm Polypropylene Honeycomb Core, Textured Carbon Grit Surface

Review update no. 2. After playing with my replacement paddle for several months I am happy to say that I am still enjoying this paddle. I have not noticed and dead spots and surface finish has held up remarkably well. I get great spin and control with the paddle to this day and it is very responsive to my dinks as well as my power shots. I am completely satisfied with this paddle, and at the current price point it is a bargain.Review Update: Within 2 hours of my initial review below being posted on Amazon, I received a message from the Warping Point customer service. They were very apologetic about my experience and were determined to make things right. It was explained to me that improvements to the paddle have been made since my purchase and they would be happy to send me a replacement paddle and would also give me a credit for the difference in the price of the paddle between when I purchased it and the new limited time sale price. Within 24 hours I received the partial refund and 3 days later I received my new paddle. I can’t say enough about how excellent this customer service was. I would also like to say that when I initially received my first paddle, I loved it. I will update this review again in a month or so after I have had a chance to play with the new paddle and see how it wears. I have updated my 1 star rating to a 3 star rating, and hope I can update to 5 stars after playing with my new paddle. I would certainly give Customer Service a 5 star ratingOriginal Review:I would not purchase this paddle again. After only 2 months of play the surface no longer has any grip. On top of that there is no longer any power left in the paddle unless you hit the exact center of the paddle. Very disappointed. I spent $140 dollars on this paddle and only played it for 2-3 times a week. I see that the price is currently less than $100 dollars, but it’s not worth anywhere near that price. I tried to return this but that option is no longer available through Amazon. This is the last time I will ever purchase a non-name brand paddle. Total garbage.

I purchased this paddle just because of the previous reviews and the limited deal that was running on Amazon just to give it a shot. I purchased the 16mm red and let me tell you. The spin I get and the returns that com off of this paddle are awesome. I love the longer grip and the control I have in a dink match. But when it comes time to speed everything up it has the power and allows for some sick rally ending shots.I did recently notice what might be a stress fracture to the outer edge of the paddle. I do not throw my paddle or hit the floor purposefully (by accident when digging for a return) and I believe some of my hard smashed may have caused it. I did message warping to find warranty process. Just waiting to hear back (will also post pics soon of area in question).Other than all of that I will still give 5stars to this paddle. For what I paid, it has held up to its hype from previous reviews.So far there are 4-5 people I know in my rec play group that are watching the price of these paddles so that they can purchase one.

I’ve had this paddle for almost 6 months so felt inclined to provide my thoughts. I play about 2/3 times a week and I’m a 3.5/4 level player. I’ve played with Joola and Selkirk paddles but wanted to give to give warping point a shot.The packaging for this paddle is well done. Customer service for this company seems responsive although I have not dealt with them. Lightweight with a nice sweet spot although it’s probably a little too light for me to get the power I want so I’ll probably be adding some lead tape to it. The grip is comfortable but very difficult to grip firmly when I sweat. I’m at the point where I have to use a towel on it 3-4 times per game so it doesn’t fly out of my hand. I’ll most likely regrip it. The surface has a nice texture to it brand new providing some good control and spin but after 4/5 months the texture is gone and rather smooth. I’ll probably end up buying a new paddle in a few months. The current price Point with the coupon puts this paddle around $79 which seems acceptable. This paddle was going for about $120 earlier this year when I bought it. Overall not bad, a good intermediate paddle that won’t break the Bank but the grip and weight aren’t To my personal preferences and it loses some of its effectiveness once the texture wears off although this seems to be a common occurrence with many paddles. I’d recommend this to anyone 3.5 or below but if you’re above that level you’ll probably find yourself making some adjustments in order to get the power and control you want. The company does offer a paddle designed more for power but I have not played with it.

Having tried many paddles, this one is comfortable, ergonomic, and economical. The rounded edge design allows aerodynamics to reduce drag as you swing. The carbon fiber textured surface is perfect for kinetic energy transference enabling better top spin and cuts. Personally my favorite colors and a rad war paint graphic. The paddle seems to be built with high quality materials with great ingenuity and craftsmanship. Love this paddle.

I received this paddle earlier this week and I’ve played about 10 hours with it so far. I love the grip, feel, weight, power, and texture. However, there is a large dead zone on both sides of the paddle for the final 3 inches, making the sweet spot very small and resulting in very inconsistent shots, which makes the paddle useless for semi competitive play. I reached out to Warping Point’s customer service via email several days ago and have not gotten a reply. This is my first experience with warping point products and they have not made a good first impression on me.*** Update: Warping Point did reach out to me, refunding me for my original purchase and also sending me two new paddles to try. They have impressed me with their customer service. They do acknowledge that the 16mm has larger than desired dead spots due to the thinness of the paddle. The 20mm version of the paddle they sent me plays much truer. They also sent me a grasp T700 16mm that my wife loves. Final verdict: Warping point has excellent customer service and makes paddles that play very well for their price point. I will definitely purchase from them again in the future. ***
