Electrum Model E 16mm Middleweight Carbon Fiber Pickleball Paddle

Pros: Creates a ton of spin. The reach is unmatched, covers almost ever shot on the court and for dinking. Makes for a powerful drive, lots of "pop" off this paddle. The grip provides quite a bit of support.

Cons: None as of right now, this paddle has elevated my game.

Pros: I had used the Electrum Pro model and absolutely loved it. When I took this one out for a test, I was equally impressed. It is thicker than the Pro and comes with the same amount of pop and more reach. Very impressed!

Cons: NA

Pros: My style of play involves lots of spin on my shots and this paddle helps provide me with wicked amounts of spin, more so than I thought was possible.

Cons: Ball marks show on the paddle easily, but honestly not really a con as you can see where you are squaring up the ball or where you missed.

Pros: This paddle is great. Extended length for a little extra length with great performance! The grit surface face really holds onto the ball.

Cons: Nine so far

Pros: This Paddle is longer than you would think. It has a ton of reach to cover anywhere on the court. It is very thick but feels lighter than it looks. It feels very powerful and you can tell a difference in the speed at which the ball pops off the face compared to other paddles at a similar weight. Only time will tell, but it feels like this paddle will hold together great. Very solid and well put together.

Cons: NA

Pros: I have used a couple of higher end paddles, but this one is by far my favorite. It's a bit skinnier than the paddles I was using but that didn't make much difference. Excellent spin and control. Great reaction off the face.

Cons: None so far

Pros: Spin is noticeable and had to get used to the touch. A little different from my Selkirk Invicta, but ultimately its the player. My next paddle will be Ben John's $80 deal.

Cons: Non yet.

Pros: Have tried many brands, and this is my favorite. Soft paddle with a lot of control. I also had the original Electrum paddle and like this one even better for my style of play. I like to play with a lot of topspin in my shots and this has really elevated that and has given me more accuracy with shots. Also just looks super cool!

Cons: No cons from me.

Pros: Good spin control, good control @ the NVZ.

Cons: Little lack of power, added some LED tape fixed the issue. Good all around paddle.

Pros: JUST THE RIGHT WEIGHT

Cons: NONE

Pros: Great spin, control, power. This paddle is a beast!! My third shot drop has improved a lot with this one and the dinks are just crazy spinning good.

Cons: The paddle is not durable in the core. After one 2 day tournaments ( single, men double, mix double ) my paddle felt like it shattered on the inside.

Pros: Light and long makes for hitting ball other paddles don’t reach.

Cons: None

Pros: Enjoy the total playability of this paddle it has given me confidence in all aspects of the game. Would highly recommend.

Cons: None

Pros: Great feel and spin. Perfect for dink game.

Cons: Lacks some power and a bit cumbersome on volleys

Pros: Overall great feel and control. Excellent spin and dink control. Great surface feel. Some reviews complained a bit too heavy to play fast at kitchen line but I've played with heavier paddles so feels great to me.

Cons: Handle grip not great especially at this price point. I just used a tacky handle wrap and so far so good.

Pros: solid and durable

Cons: heavy not too manuverable

Pros: Amazing durability, I've been played both outdoors and indoors since last summer almost every day, and not even a scratch on the surface: the raw carbon last, and works like the first day. Amazing spin you can actually give to the ball thanks to the grit surface. The tick 16 mm paddle gives you also a lot of precision on any shot. Great reach at the kitchen.

Cons: It needs practice to learn how to good dink at the kitchen with this one (a thinner paddle is easier for beginner). But once you get use to it, does the work

Pros: Electrum was the first to really use the raw carbon fiber, and this paddle still stacks up a the top of the list as a premium paddle in that category. There is nothing that is better on the market.

Cons: N/A

Pros: Across the board the paddle was fantastic. Tons of grit, ample power, and really nice feel whether you dinking or driving. I love this paddle.

Cons: I'm not a huge fan of the beveled grip, so I replaced it with a smooth grip and all was well in the world for $1.99.

Pros: Professionally packaged, softer more controlled feel, excellent spin capabilities, and the manufacturer elected to use Toray T700 carbon fiber.

Cons: A little on the pricey side, original replacement grips are not available from Electrum, a little heavy (mine came in at 8,4 ounces).

Pros: Really good paddle. Has a good amount of spin(not as much as the joola hyperion) sweet spot is large. Feels soft off the paddle but not too soft. Had more power than I thought it was going to have. Overall very pleased with it

Cons: Could have just a bit more spin

Pros: Since my game did not drastically improve over night, this paddle has absolutely upped my game. It bites the ball so well and send it exactly where I mean for it to go. It’s crazy good at that. Really love this paddle.

Cons: Seriously the only con is that I need to write my name on the paddle and the black face won’t let it show up.

Pros: Light weight and grip is very comfortable. Like the fact it’s a little longer. As a new player I feel it’s improving my game.

Cons: While better than my starter paddle I thought it would produce a stronger return. However, at my relatively low skill level it’s just as well.
