Babolat WZRD Pickleball Paddle (Black/Green)

I don't like paddle that hit with a pop and makes loud noises. The quick pop makes me feel like losing control of my shot. In addition, the hard-hitting paddle also has too much vibration feedback for my old man's wrist. The WZRD is a 20mm paddle with a soft feel, perfect for my liking. I can sense a slight stickiness to the paddle when hitting which offers good control of direction and spin, instead of just pop off of the paddle like the thinner paddle (14mm or so). The shape is also unique, one of a kind, with the head slightly bigger. It kind of looks like a fan. I am a sucker for weird looking paddle. Price wises it is comparable to my other favorite paddles. I have purchased more than 10 paddles, and I only get 3 that I will play with. After all the trials, now I know my preference is with thicker paddles, 18mm or above. So, find your own preferences. If you want pop and bang, this is not it. If you want spin and control of where your shot land, this is IT.

Muy buen material, excelente manejo, peso balanceado y buen precio.

I own over 20 paddles but this is my favorite, excellent control, ability to absorb the pace and avoid pop ups. The spin potential in unmatched and I really like the heavy weight and small head. I hope this continues and more paddles can be made like this.

Love the racquet, love the control and spin.

The paddle performs exactly as advertised, great for spins and short play. My serves are on another level with it and spin shots baffling my opponents. It has easily survived a few tosses across the court to get a long ball

Disappointing to say the least, you have to hit soo much harder because of the absorption in the racket. My neck and shoulder took a beating . I’m hoping I’ll get used to it .
