Have been play testing prototypes of a new brand that will hit the market next year. The future looks bright!👊🔥🔥🔥

The reigning paddle of the year has continued to be one of the most popular paddles on the market. There are few paddles in the market today that have appealed to such a large number of players and remained relevant for more than 6 months. I do not personally play with this paddle but sure do respect it.
As a player who prefers paddles that are stiffer and thinner, this was not ideal for me but love the way it plays. I prefer the paddle create power for me and did not feel like this was enough for me. This is likely due to my play style because just about everyone I know who is using this paddle believes it offers tons of power. I do believe this paddle does a great job in carving and directing the ball. I found drops to be incredibly easy and the feel to be super nice.
The hybrid SixZero shape offers a great sweetspot and feel consistently stable but tend to offer a tad more weight in the head. I typically prefer more head weight but the thicker 16mm core + the head shape felt a tad less maneuverable to me.
What I love about this paddle the most is its price point. I found it quite refreshing for a brand to offer a flagship paddle for less than $200.00. At $180.00, it becomes an easy choice for those looking to upgrade out of the beginner/intermediate category of paddles.

Personally love playing with this paddle.
The power is consistently there for all of my shots. It might not be the most powerful on the market but does offer a significant amount of power still very user friendly. The paddle does plays a bit on the stiff side but works well with my play style.
Generally have not found any issues with control or feel because Engage's peel ply is incredible. I've been a huge fan of the Pursuit series of paddles since starting the game because they continually innovate in an incredibly practical manner. The paddles do not look bad but you don't really get a sense of how awesome the paddle is until you're on the court blasting drives and speedups at your opponent. What I really love about this series is the shape and weight distribution. The paddle typically is closer toward an even weight distribution and plays incredibly agile in the hand.
I do have to mention that the butt cap seems to be an issue - Mine fell off after about a month. Do not love this style of buttcap but does this worry me? No. I've seen this happen a few times and Engage's customer service seems to always quickly to take care of warranty claims.
The only downside of this paddle is the price point. It seems quite high when comparing it to other power paddles on the market. I guess this is the price you pay for paddles manufactured in the USA.

I love this paddle. First the design is incredibly cool. Haven't seen the design on the paddle face continue through onto the edge guard before.
The paddle itself definitely hits like a power paddle. A tad more head weight but thats more toward my personal preference. Wouldn't say its very head heavy but not ideal if you like evenly balanced or handle heavy paddles.
It plays a tad toward the stiffer side but feels SOOOO good when you really swing at the ball. The dwell seems to be perfectly balanced with the amount of texture on the face creating more control than I would have expected. Not the best with touch/feel shorts but did not find it bad at them either.
If it weren't for the handle shape (a bit rectangular), I would have made this my new personal paddle.
In a field where paddle companies continue to play with new technologies and struggle create paddles that max performance without compromising the feel - the PROXR Signature seems to be the only paddle that comes close.

🎾💰 According to Travis Rettenmaier, for #Pickleball to reach its full potential, gambling plays a crucial role. He emphasizes the need for fair outcomes and trust in the sport.
"You can’t have circumstances where people that are a bit classless and don’t necessarily care about the way that they appear are willing to cheat and win at all costs. Unfortunately, we’re still in a circumstance with MLP—and pickleball in general—where there’s no recourse for these people, and they are willing to cheat", he added.

As a sport, we must decide how much emphasis we're putting on the Mid Season Tournament.
Is a mid-season tournament win going to be held in the same regard as a championship? Or is a championship the most important metric, with everything else falling into a separate category.
While the MLP and the NBA are two completely different sports, both have an in-season tournament (not counting toward their record) and the playoffs (at the end of the season). It's very apparent that basketball players, coaches, journalists etc. care about 1 thing and 1 thing only: championships. Will we do the same in Pickleball?
Also, does advancing further in the mid-season tournament hinder future performances? We'll find out soon. @majorleaguepb

In most sports, staggered positioning is usually seen as a disadvantage. However, in doubles pickleball, it can be a strategic move to incorporate more frequently into your games. Staggering occurs when one teammate moves forward to the NVZ line while the other stays back near the baseline. This tactic is particularly effective when one player executes a strong or aggressive third-shot drop, allowing their partner to advance to the kitchen line. 🎾🤝
