CoreStrike 45 (16mm): A lightweight, sturdy paddle! / by Kris Anderson

This is a great pickleball paddle. It is a well-made, sturdy paddle. It has a gritty surface which is great for spin and control. The Kevlar layer really makes a difference. It is a lightweight paddle coming in at 8 ounces on my postage scale. It is balanced and easy to maneuver. I like the comfortable, ribbed non-slip grip. The edge guard does a great job at protecting the paddle edge. I like that it comes with a case that covers the paddle completely. This paddle is good for someone looking to advance from their beginner paddle. This paddle is a great value. I like the design on the paddle surface as well. I find myself reaching for this paddle often and hiding it so my cousin does not “borrow” it.
