What Is The Demo Paddle?

The Demo is exactly like the "Slim". Phatboy has decided to offer the paddle at a demo price before releasing the product to the public. We want to make sure that when everyone has access to this paddle there is no room left for improvement! We are confident that the paddle is made to the best of its ability and will not undergo changes upon public release. If many paddle testers give recommendations and the changes are made before paddle release then anyone in possession of a Demo will be eligible for 50% off a paddle on release. If there are no changes made then you got the paddle at demo price anyways, win-win!

    Never played pickleball until a few days ago. These paddles are constructed of carbon fiber and graphite, the same materials as many of the other higher priced ones. They’re light, comfortable and have a large sweet spot. Really pleased, as a complete beginner, how I’m hitting with them. The “seasoned” players I play with are impressed with the paddles as well. Nice case, extra bonus of 6 outside balls and grip tape complete the kit and make it an even better value! Great price for a really well made paddle.

    I'm fairly new to pickleball. I've used a handful of paddles though and I'd say these are comparatively "softer" which provides a bit more ball control. You don't get as much of a hard pop as some paddles, but it was actually a good thing and improved my game a lot. Concerned about longevity of the paddles. I've used them once and did notice some white flecks on the paddle after my first use. I hope the paddle holds up because I do like the paddle.

    I’ve been using it 3 times now and I really love it ! The handle has a nice grip and also very comfortable, I do lots of weight lifting with barbells so I am very picky about the grips, also I have a small hand and easy to sweat lol, this paddle so far does a fantastic job of the grips. It is also lightweight so it’s easy for me to swing the ball, based on the description it’s made of top-grade carbon fiber face and polymer honeycomb composition.
