Great performance from a beginnerThis Ekelton paddle was my first foray into non-big box store pickleball paddles, and I could immediately tell the difference. While I'm not a serious enough player to warrant the $200+ paddles, this paddle has truly elevated my game and made me a better player on the court. There are shots I hit the same that previously went into the net that now go over!

Ektelon 13 Inferno paddleThe paddle had a good feel but was too powerful for my game. I am exchanging the 13 fir the 16, hoping that the 16 will offer more control and fewer balls hit long.
Great paddle, superb priceHave tried at least 10 paddles through demo and purchased a few (Pickleball addiction!). My Ektelon Inferno 13mm gives me the most confidence playing with both outdoor and indoor (quite a few basketball surface courts here in MN) balls. Also love the look. Thanks Ektelon :)
Great PaddleThe paddle is easy to maneuver and has a lot of power. A perfect all around paddle with good balance. I like the 13 mm and will continue to use this paddle.
Ektelon 16 and 13I demoed both of these paddles and I felt the 16 was too top heavy and I lost power and consistency on my serve. The 13 was nice when volleying and hitting from the baseline, but I also felt something missing on my serve. If they had a light version of the 13, I would have bought the paddle.
