Warping Point Ascent Pickleball Paddles| Carbon Fiber Pickleball Racket with Aero Throat | Textured Grit Surface | Hexa Polymer Core | Designed for Swing Speed and Maneuverability

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.

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’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.
