Pickleball Paddle, USA Pickleball Approved, 3K Raw Carbon Fiber Surface (CFS) High Grit & Spin, with 16MM Polypropylene Honeycomb Core, Ideal for Novice and Professional Players

My go to paddle is the Selkirk LUXX Invikta Control Air. But I’m a gear guy that loves trying different paddles, especially more affordable ones to see how they perform or could perform with minor mods.I like to play with Control, Spin and shot placement.In factory form, this paddle is lightweight, has the grittiest/most aggressive carbon faces that I’ve ever felt in terms of dragging fingernails across it. Comparing it to some of my other paddles like the ProKennex Kinetic Black Ace Ovation or Kindtic Pro Speed ii it’s like comparing 220 Grit Sand Paper to 400 Grit. Power is on the lower medium scale. Theres some pop but it’s definitely no rocket launcher. Spin potential is clearly there if I do my part. For me, Indid find that I needed a bit more stability when hard driven balls we’re coming at me and I needed to volley at the kitchen line/mid court.The handle is a slight rectangular profile, like Volkl Tennis racquets which I prefer.Overall very pleased with paddle, especially for the price point in factory form…but me being me wanted to improved it/tailor it for me sooo….Added 10” x 1/2” Tungsten Weighted tape along the sides and throat of the paddle. Removed the gripTape and added 1/8” adhesive foam strips on the sides of the handle to increase the rectangular profile/feel of the handle and wrapped it with Over Grip Tape to keep the circumference small.Big Transformation!!!😁. Volleying is stabile, shot placement and spin city on tap!!!My friends that have tried it are impressed and loved playing with it instead of their own paddles. The bangers liked how now they could swing aggressive with some spin and keep shots in and be able to slow down the tempo of the game by taking pace off the ball when returning it.If looking for a great all around paddle that is very affordable and offers control and spin potential I definitely recommend it.

So I play a decent bit of pickle ball. At least once a week but sometimes up to 3 times. I play at a pretty decent level with some good guys. I will say that for the price this is the best racket you will find. It has really good control and grip of the ball and it’s pretty durable. I throw it around a good bit and it’s still fine. Also, it has a big sweet spot so you can hit most balls where you want them even at high speed play. It does get marks on the face of the paddle when you hit the ball. It looks a little ugly but doesn’t affect the performance at all. It stills hits the same. I’ve been using this paddle for quite a while now and it has improved my game. 10/10 would recommend!

I have been playing pickle ball for about a year and a half. Used various entry level paddles, such as wood loaners, and then bought a fibreglass one for about $100. The fibreglass paddle had been showing signs of breaking down, especially around the edge guard. As I still consider myself as a casual amateur player, playing perhaps twice a week, I did not want to spend hundreds of dollars on a paddle, Saw this paddle, the CZRR X5 Pro, featured on a Youtube video. I was interested in the carbon face and the 16 mm thickness which I hoped would give me better control and not pop the ball up so much. At the time I was shopping for a paddle, this one would be around $150 Canadian including delivery charges and taxes, but due to promotional deals, I was able to get it for under $100 and it was delivered in about 5 days as was promised. Even came with a head cover!Playing with it for about a month, it seems to allow me to make more accurate shots and more reliable drops. The amount of spin may not be remarkable, but it seems more than adequate. I have arthritic shoulders, so I was pleased that this paddle doesn't feel at all heavy. So far it has been durable even when I choose to play a more aggressive style. Possibly due to the 16 mm thickness, I noticed a slight reduction in power, but tbh, not that much. I am by no means a pro so I can't possibly comment if a more expensive paddle would elevate my present abilities that much more!Many reviews have commented that the handle is larger than was listed (4.5" vs. 4.25" seen on many paddles). I admittedly have small hands, but I didn't notice the handle being difficult to play with and the material used makes the grip feel comfortable and not slippery.Compared to many paddles marketed to beginners, weekend warriors, and pickle ball "enthusiasts", this paddle is a definite "step up" and provides excellent value. At this price, I would strongly recommend this paddle!

I just received and opened it. My mom has a carbon pickle she paid $100 for. My new czrr x5 pro feels every bit as sturdy as that carbon pickle. Sweet spots are very similar sized. The czrr has a rough finish that is supposed to help with spin. The handle feels great for my big hand and it's decently sticky. I did a little pop drill and had nice control with the paddle. Ive only played 5 times total and have been using my mother's starter paddle it's a Franklin $100 fiberglass paddle. My czrr feels way better and has way better sweet spot. It also has more pop where there is no sweet spot than the Franklin, it's about the same as the carbon pickle. I bought it for like $42 on black Friday. The price already is now $69 and I would repurchase at $69 if it holds up. Better yet Id get 2 for $108 or whatever the current deal is. For the record I'm new to pickleball and have only touched 3 paddles so I can't say if it's comparable to expensive paddles. I will keep buying the less expensive Chinese paddles and will never purchase an expensive "name brand" paddle.

This paddle is great for how little you’re paying. It’s a got a wide surface with a ton of grip on the ball. Easy to create a lot of spin while playing. It feels heavy at first but I’ve gotten use to it. I almost like it more than my $250 joola paddle.

Great pickleball paddle for beginners, comfortable grip with a wide surface area. Can definitely recommend if you’re new to pickleball and not looking to spend a lot!
