Supra T700 Raw Carbon Fiber Pickleball Paddle Racket | 16mm | USA Pickleball (USAPA) Approved for Tournament | Control &Power | Grit Surface for Spin | Carbon Elite | Includes Paddle Cover

The media could not be loaded.  Paddle is sub 8 OZ and not head-heavy (which means more power in hits, yah!). If you are worried about pickleball elbow or slow reaction for volleys, this paddle is the answer. The texture on the surface is kind of rough, giving some serious spin action. Pro tip: grab a cheap paddle eraser cause this paddle tends to pick up some plastic from the ball when you smack it(all carbon fiber paddles do). I have been using an eraser every time after playing. Overall, this paddle finds the sweet spot between bringing the power and keeping control. It's got the same shape as my trusty Ace Spade, though it's a tad heavier and the core feels a bit tougher. But the cool thing is, it's super predictable in how it plays. If you're vibing with the stretched-out paddle design, seriously, you won't find anything that plays this good at such a steal of a price. I snagged mine when it was on sale, and it's been a total win!

Mine arrived at 7.8 oz which is what I prefer, it allows me to add weight where I want. I play at 8.5 oz with more weight at the bottom and 1/2 of the paddle head. I was looking for a softer paddle with more power. The sweet spot is large and my mishits feel more stable than my Paddletek. Compared to my Paddletek the Supra added 5% in power because of the paddle face and another 10% because of the 1/2" length. The soft control drops are easy to hit as the ball is soft off the face. Whether you’re a beginner or advance but don’t want to spend $250 for a paddle, this is worth a try. Supra also offers after-sale services through their website, great Seller!

Says in the description it is heat treated for 2 hrs. Maybe this is true for the paddle face but not for the handle. You can feel the exposed polymer at the narrow sides of the paddle, so the handle is not reinforced and with heavy use runs the risk of snapping like all GEN 1 sandwich paddles. This aspect was a disappointment even though the face material is nice and the paddle plays well (as a softer control paddle). Do not mistake this for a true fully thermoformed paddle with crisp response and a forged/reinforced handle. If I had known this I would have returned the paddle but I was on vacation after receiving the paddle and I was out of the return period when I played it and realized the handle had weak exposed polymer sandwich construction.

I’m a 4.0 doubles player who started with a CRBN1, moved to XSPAK, then Ronbus R1.16 and have now played with the Supra for 2 weeks. The dimensions are very similar to CRBN1/XSPAK and the surface is gritty and durable thus far. I’m able to put a lot of spin on the ball, I hit drives with confidence and the touch is there too. My paddle came in at 8.1oz and the weight distribution feels balanced. I don’t feel that quickness at the net has compromised even with the elongated shape. The grip is long enough to hit 2 handed backhands.My paddles don’t last due to wear & tear so I try to stay in the sub-$100 price range. I’m very likely going to use this Supra as my main paddle. Excellent product!

The media could not be loaded.  This paddle is the real deal, hands down the best bang for your buck out there. I used to play with a JOOLA Vision Pickleball Paddle 16MM. The paddle I received is around 7.8 ounces, a bit heftier than my old JOOLA. The paddle is  16.5” long and 7.5” wide, and the handle is extra long at 5.5, a bit on the extreme side and reduces the overall size of the head. The extra length is nice for those two handed shots and helps add leverage to really whip through the ball. It also comes with a perforated comfort grip which I thought felt great. If you are not someone who typically uses over grips, you will like how this grip feels.It's like my game got an upgrade, seriously. The spin is INSANE – like, I'm curving those balls like a champ. The T700 raw carbon face material is one of the main reasons why this paddle can generate so much spin. The control is on point, and the power is just enough to make things interesting. The Supra Carbon Elite is now my go-to paddle!!!

So, got my hands on this paddle on Thursday and took it for a spin in a couple of games. Gotta say, I'm genuinely impressed with how it handles the ball all over the court. It's got this soft touch, but not that dull sensation – which, believe me, matters a ton. You know those control paddles that feel like you're hitting with a pillow? Yeah, not my jam at all. Lots of control paddles have a very muted feel, and that’s just not for me. The carbon fiber face has this gritty texture that's like a spin-generating wizard when you've got the right moves down. Like, seriously, why cough up double the dough for some other fancy brand when you can snag this one for less than 100 and probably get the same results? Just sayin'.So, after giving this paddle a whirl for a couple of days, I'm totally sold – it's officially my go-to for gaming now. I was so into it that I went ahead and ordered another one as a backup. The spin I'm pulling off with this thing is just plain ridiculous. Even my usual crew of 4.5-ish playing buddies are giving me props for the wicked topspin that's throwing them off. This paddle is seriously changing the game for me!

I played with this item for only about 4-5 hours, and the edge guard started to deform. The sweet spot is very close to the handle and you lose a lot of power on the swing.

Played with it for a couple of days now. So, I'm labeling this paddle as a control paddle. I was digging its smooth touch and the way it let me call the shots, plus, I was genuinely taken aback by the extra oomph it packed. It might not be the Hulk of power paddles, but it sure had a fiery kick that almost kicked it out of the control zone. If you're all about that elongated design and you're anywhere on the player spectrum, this paddle could be your perfect match.All in all, I'd totally suggest grabbing this paddle for pretty much anyone who's into elongated paddles and craves that extra spin action. This paddle seriously ranks high up there among the best of its kind. The only time I might hold back on recommending it is if you're all about a super forgiving feel, or if long handles aren't really your jam.
