P-One by Nicol Pickleball Paddle - T700 Premium Japanese Carbon Fiber - USAPA Approved Pickleball Racket, Elongated Handle & Paddle Face, Upgraded Non-Slip Grip

I play collegiate level pickleball! and have been needing a new paddle. I didn't want to dole out $200 for my usual paddle and thought I'd give this one I try.This paddle is fantastic! The sweet spot on this thing is incredibly responsive, and I feel like I was able to learn it so quickly. I also get an incredible amount of power, way more than I did with my previous paddle (that was double the price).Also, at a higher level pickleball control is so important, and I feel like this paddle does not compromise control for power. A lot of times it feels like a paddle has one of the other, but I think this paddle has the perfect balance! I'm able to get a really good spin on this, and also an extra pop on my serves.If you're looking for a paddle, I cannot recommend this strongly enough! for the price it is an incredible quality, and it looks so sharp on the court! I love that the grip is aerated because I always sweat while I play. and it's actually so comfortable to hold, because it's weighted so well!If I can leave you with one thing. buy this paddle! You will not regret it!!

I recently purchased the Nicol Pickleball Paddle and I have been extremely impressed with it. I have been playing pickleball for about a month now and have tried a few different paddles, but this one is by far my favorite.Here are a few reasons why I gave the Nicol Pickleball Paddle 5 stars:Great balance of power and control: The Nicol Pickleball Paddle has a perfect balance of power and control. It is lightweight and easy to swing, but it still provides enough power to hit the ball hard and deep. The paddle also has a large sweet spot, which gives me more confidence in my shots. As someone who likes to spin, the woven grit on the paddle is excellent to help to provide spin.Excellent grip: The grip on the Nicol Pickleball Paddle is very comfortable and absorbent. It doesn't slip in my hand, even when I am sweating.Durable construction: The Nicol Pickleball Paddle is well-made and durable. It has a solid feel and I am confident that it will last for a long time.Overall, I am very happy with the Nicol Pickleball Paddle. It is a great paddle for players of all skill levels and I highly recommend it.Brief Summary:The Nicol Pickleball Paddle is a great all-around paddle that offers a good balance of power and control. It is also well-made and durable. If you are looking for a new pickleball paddle, I highly recommend the Nicol Pickleball Paddle.

This paddle has not disappointed, and for an intermediate to advanced player, it offers quality performance that rivals more expensive paddles. I have played regularly with the Joola Hyperion and the Diadem Warrior 2 and have trialed the Vatic Pro V7 (all of which have been terrific, with various pros and cons), and this Nicol P-one paddle really offers a lot of strengths in this tough market.Unrelated to the paddle performance, I do have to say that the packaging was very sleek and well-designed, and I enjoyed the experience of opening the box upon its initial arrival. With that said, it would be nice to have more options for interesting paddle designs, since I found the choices to be quite bland (design 1 was sold out at the time of my purchase). Not that aesthetics are the most important for selecting a paddle, but why not have both quality performance and a fun design?On to the actual paddle performance. The paddle feels relatively light, which does allow for good swing speed, plus there is the aerodynamic curved shape of the paddle that is also supposed to allow for greater swing speed and swing efficiency. I did not notice that much difference in power while using this paddle, but I think a lot of power is dependent on technique with less contribution from the paddle itself. However, I felt that there was a great degree of control with this paddle, and I think this was one of the greatest strengths that I noticed immediately. The sweet spot is reasonably large, although not quite as large as other paddles I have played with. Finally, the grip was very comfortable, and since I prefer a two handed grip for the majority of my backhands, the length of the grip was perfect for this.Overall, I do think this is good quality paddle that was very easy to adjust to. I felt like it offered superb control and allowed for great swing speed. This is a really great option that won’t break the bank if you are interested in upgrading from entry level paddles.

I was looking a good, lightweight, aesthetic, beginner-friendly pickleball paddle and so happy that I went with Nicol.The paddle's lightweight yet sturdy design allowed me to maneuver with ease, while the textured surface provided excellent grip and control over each shot. The power and precision I experienced compared to cheaper paddles is not even comparable - this paddle's even weight distrubution made it so easy to hit the ball with consistency and always near or at the sweet spot. The handle is nice and long and textured so that it is easy to grip for any type of shot - forehand, backhand, slicing, etc.My only slight complaint is that I wish it came with a cover instead of the box, so I could have something to protect it while I bring it onto the court!
