The Bet

The Bet by Pickleball Poker is an elongated paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core and a carbon fiber face. The 8 oz weight, combined with a high swing weight of 123, suggests it may be suitable for players seeking more power. The 6-inch grip accommodates two-handed backhands. The carbon fiber face is often associated with control and feel. The elongated shape could provide a larger sweet spot. The 16mm core thickness may contribute to a blend of power and control. The high swing weight, while potentially generating more power, might also reduce maneuverability for some. The twist weight of 5.48, rating at 2.9/10 and in the 9th percentile, suggests it may be less resistant to twisting on off-center hits. The spin rating is 6.9/10 and falls into the 54th percentile. This paddle may be best suited for intermediate to advanced players looking for a power-oriented paddle.
