PaddleTek Tempest Wave Pro V3 Review
Просмотров 4,1 тыс.9 месяцев назад
PaddleTek Tempest Wave Pro V3 Review
Awesome review as always! I'm considering the Jelly Bean versus the Vatic Pro Prism Flash. Any thoughts on how they compare? This would be my first "legit" paddle, but I used to play tennis, so I've got some experience.
Are you going to do a review on the Thrive Surge? Interested to hear your thoughts on that!
Best tape setup for all court?
If you're military, first responder, or in education. You can get this 25% off with GovX discount. Got the All Court for $105.
The Apollo is my current main paddle. May you go into more detail on how it compares to the All Court? Is the All Court more powerful?
Honestly they are very similar in play. I’d say the all court has more pop and that’s about it!
@@stspickleball Thanks! Have a great weekend bro.
Thanks for this video!!! How would you compare j7k with hudef viva gen3? What would you pick? Any comments appreciated!!!
I would grab the J7K personally. Both great paddles but the J7K is a more premium experience overall.
What was the name of these glasses?
The CRBN Pivot glasses 😊
Hey, Stephen - how has the spin potential held up over time? Thanks.
It’s done very well! Better than expected for the price I’m impressed.
Gonna send you an NDA my awesome paddle dude. Then we can dink a straight into my 3 paddle patents and prototypes hot and ready to make this sport a ton of fun. I want you to be the first reviewer to have it. Straight up because you’re freaking awesome. First video of yours I watched heard you say “(after proclaiming no one pays you to push products) …I’m just a dude who loves pickleball and wants to share what I’ve found for your benefit.” STS you’re the goat 🐐 in my book Email me back the signed NDA and your favorite colors. Lol I’m gonna make an STS paddle called the “Plush” 😂 16mm just how you like it got you bro Aight I’m gonna look for your website and email now 🙌🤙
😂 if it makes the cut we shall see! Love the vibes in this comment though I have to say.
@@stspickleball Bro, what's your email?
Send a message through my website www.stspickleball.com 😊
Amazing review. I am really planning to get this since it seems similar in design to Vatic V7 Pro. How would you compare this to the Hudef? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!
I think this paddle is incredible for the price. If you’re used to a Vatic V7 Pro this would be actually a more well constructed version (which is crazy given the price) fully thermoformed, legit Toray t700, unibody, great grip / handle. It has it all at such a good price.
Anything in the j1 and j5?
J2K, J3k, and J7K are my favs by far
Thanks for the video!! How would you compare the J7k with hudef viva gen3? Which would be a better pick? Any thoughts?
@@stspickleball yea definitely thinking about picking up the J7K
Hey there.. great review.. how would you say this compares to Hudef Gen3. I know they are different shapes, but it would appear that they have similar power. Would that be accurate? Also, between this and J2K, what would be your preference!!!! Thanks for all the work and effort!! PS - new subscriber here, and I've hust been going over all your content!!! Loving the reviews..
I would take this over the Hudef gen 3 personally. I’d take the J2K over both just construction wise and from a cost to performance ratio given the premium feel of the Honolulu paddles but the Apollo is a wonderful paddle.
Wonder when they will be shipped for pre-orders. Waiting!!! using a junk paddle in mean time
lol it’s worth the wait!
Great insight. Would you say the j2k pro 16mm would have more power and control compared to mach1 fonza and R1 nova?
Yes more power. Relative control, maybe a bit less to be honest but more power indeed.
Definitely not more control. Im selling my J2K pro 16mm after coming from DBD. Sweet spot sadly just felt too small and too many dead shots on resets, etc Regret not getting the J2K (not pro)
Great video!! How woukd you say this differs from the Mach 1 Forza?
The nova is more plush and has a bit more control centric aspects in comparison to the Mach 1 Forza. It’s not a control paddle specifically but that’s how I’d try to translate the feel in comparison to the Mach 1 Forza.
Great job as always! How woukd you say this compares to the Mach1. Any similarities or differences. Would it be right to say that Mach 1 would have more power, whereas Mach2 would have more control and spin?
Yes you nailed it in your last statement there 😊 I would personally take the Mach 2 Forza over the Mach 1. I like the Mach 1 but the Mach 2 Forza is just a standout for me.
Great review!! How would you say it would compare to the Vatic V7 Pro.. I ask cos thats the only other thermoformed paddle Ive used and would appreciate your take on it. Thanks!!!
I would skip the Vatic no matter how it compares. Vatics are known to delaminate / core crush and I wouldn’t spend my hard earned money on their thermoformed paddles. The prisms are great though.
I can increase the power of these by adding tape at like 3 and 9 o’clock?
Absolutely yes! The more towards the head of the paddle the more your tape will add power 😊
Excellent review. A thorough comparison. I've been playing with a Ruby 16mm. Love the feel and spin, but hoping for some more pop. I think the 14mm J2K will be a more advanced paddle for me than the 16mm. It'll be a challenge, but I want to give it a shot. I tend to have good technique for control. Hopefully I can handle 14mm. If not, I'll just go back to 16mm. Glad they give me some wiggle room with the swing weight. I could probably increase the sweet spot and twist weight with some lead tape, right?
Absolutely you can increase the twist weight and sweet spot with lead tape. And everything you said here is spot on! You’ve been doing your research!
Great review! Is there a way to soften up the stiffness of the All Court paddle? Secondly, where is the best place to add weight to this paddle if you want to expand the sweet spot as much as possible. Thanks in advance for your feedback.
Not really an objective way to soften it up. I’ve actually been using it stock because I like the hand speed but you can try lead tape at the 4 and 8 o’clock positions and if you’re ok with more weight you can also add some lead to the 10 and 2 o’clock positions and that will open the sweet spot quite a bit.
Do you have any experience with the j7k and pro?
I do indeed yes! Great paddles. I’ll be dropping a review on the J3k and J7K soon but if you’re looking for an elongated Kevlar paddle the J7K does not disappoint. It’s as good as the rest of their lineup in my opinion.
@@stspickleball can’t wait for the review! I’d love to hear the numbers for power/pop/spin!
@@corbanfigueroa5440 coming soon! Might be about a week or two.
Is this j2k 14mm better than ruby 14mm?
They are relative in play I would say. The J2K is just cheaper and I am always trying to help my audience find something top tier that also is cost effective. That’s why the J2K is such a standout overall. It’s an ultra premium experience at a reasonable price.
Thanks for your video. For me the best 14mm paddle is HUDEF MAGE Pro Gen2.🤣
Good to hear!
Great review. J2K and HUDEF MAGE Pro Gen2 have always been hybrid shape paddles that I really like.
Thank you and I agree 😊
Did I read that correctly that the 14mm versions have less power and pop?
@@jordanmartin324 more pop and less power is what is stated here you can see this for yourself at 7:01
Ah got it. I think maybe the 16mm pro might be for me. I want good pop but I’m more interested in power
I would say the 16mm versions would suit most people extremely well. It’s nice that you know what you’re looking for! Very helpful. Given what you shared I would agree with your decision 😊
@@stspickleball ok, if you had to compare 14mm j2k to 16mm j2k pro which would you pick? Some reviewers say they prefer the feel of j2k’s weave
As you stated above you’re more interested in power so grab the 16mm J2K pro and enjoy your new paddle! I think it will work out super well for you!
The numbers on j2k pro seem the best comparitively to everything. Yet people dont seem to use it much. Like yes slightly less sweet spot and control but overall better seeming. Is there something im missing? I have the ruby currently but want something similar but slightly more power.
@@JaxxCrash pro will have more power with that same relative feel and premium experience. Generally speaking most people enjoy a more plush feeling off the face and don’t enjoy a fairly rigid feeling which is why the J2K is so often recommended over the pro.
@stspickleball ah okay great explanation. Yeah the plush feeling sounds nice even at the expense of some power. Thank you!
You’re very welcome! 😊
the best paddle doesn't exist
@@mex5341 yep I agree!
Quality, yes. Customer service, NO. I sent a “Contact Us” note via their web site about some “puckering” of my edge guard on July 1 and still have no reply. I cannot find a Customer Service email on the site, only their web form. I watched Junk and Spam folders, too…nada.
You can go to the website and get direct help with the chat function
@@CEMESTEBAN this. I have heard nothing but great feedback about their customer service.
@@CEMESTEBAN and they respond quick
Ok, thanks for the heads up. A chat function was not available when I first tried to contact them and I’ll admit I haven’t checked the site in a couple weeks. I’ll be on it tomorrow!
@@scottschaus4619 sounds good brotha!

@@nn-NeuralNetwork lol is that what I sounded like 😂
You sold me on the J2K and now waiting for my 14mm. Thanks for the great reviews!
@@raylee6870 you’re very welcome you’re going to love both. I’m rotating them and having a blast 😊
Wish they had free shipping..
@@amanrai78 fair point still a great price for the paddle in my opinion
Thanks for the great review. Looking forward to my pre-order 14mm Pro arriving and comparing to my 16mm J2K Pro. I love the Honolulu line of Kevlar paddles!
Awesome! Check back in here and let everyone know what you think when you receive it!
Would you upgrade to either one if you have a 14mm Thomas Wilson 1x and 3x 14mm crbn? Or stick with them ?
I would absolutely grab the J2K non pro version as it has a much larger sweet spot than the CRBNs and more spin. If you need even more pop and power grab the pro, but my recommendation is the normal J2K 14mm
Which is your favorite to use between the j2k and j2k pro 14mm? Which would you recommend? I’m at a stalemate.
I would give the edge to the J2K personally I think it’s more balanced and I like the more plush feel off the face.
TY so much for reviewing this! I am currently debating between 14 vs 16!
You’re very welcome! Which one will you go with do you think?
Any comments on durability between the Spartus Apollo and the Forza Mach 2? Specifically face wear / spin reduction over time
Mach 2 Forza will be more durable over time. Not a massive difference, but the build quality and the face material will hold up longer, but it’s also more expensive.
@@stspickleball Thanks!! I just used your discount code for the Forza! Excited to try it out:D
Woot!! Freaking love the Forza. I added some lead at the 4 and 8 o’clock positions and at the 10 and 2 o’clock positions and it has solid power now too it’s a great paddle.
Another great content and comparison Steven, I have both the Viva Pro Gen 3 and Pro Line Energy, will you review the Pro Line Energy, and will you update the paddle database and have a blessed, wonderful and safe weekend
Yes I’m going to update the paddle database right now actually! I have so many videos I need to get to, so I don’t think I’ll have time to go back and do a pro line energy review but it is a wonderful paddle.
compared to Aiso Centric 16MM?
Much better
@@stspickleball unfortunately OOS til aug 29 @neonic
Gotcha I would say in comparison it would be worth the wait 100%. Or! Look into the J2K from Honolulu pickleball. Outstanding paddle.
Did you play with all of these stock? Add any weight? Noticeable pop difference between the C 12.7 and 14.3? Just played with the 12.7 weighted up and it was nice.
I didn’t add any weight as they have really solid twist weight to begin with. Noticeable pop difference yes!
Just picked one up. Decided to live a little and bought the 12.7 so I can battle against the Gearboxes in open play. Used your code too. Thanks.
You rock! Yeah the 12.7 doesn’t have many drawbacks other than lack of control. If you use it long enough you will dial it in. I think you made a great choice tbh.
How would you compare the Monarch All court, Monarch control and the Honolulu J2K in terms of control power, pop and spin, looking to add another paddle to my collection, I am playing with the DBD and Spartus Apollo right now
I would say if you have a DBD and Spartus Apollo I would recommend the Monarch All Court! I think it would complement your lineup very well.
Thank you for great research bud. I just purchase the Mach 2 Forza. =). And I did add your code... thx for the discount as well!
@@kylengo416 you’re very welcome my friend! Love comments like this. You made my day.
Is it my imagination but the lithium battery looks like a DeWalt tool battery?
Yeah I’m pretty positive they are interchangeable. I’ve seen others using batteries like that from Home Depot as secondaries 😊
Love the J2K. Picked it up after your reviews. I have an effortless banana serve now and I am only a 3.5 on my best day
Right on!!! Love this. Kick some butt out there!

I'd love to see a spread sheet for these types of test. Go from 1" to 5" of lead tape at an increment of 1". Do 1g per inch and 2g per inch lead tapes. Then start from bottom of throat to top of paddle 1" apart and that would be the center of the lead tape. (At the way bottom and top you wouldn't be able to do the 2", 3" 4" and 5" strips, but as you go 1" up and up you'd introduce the longer tapes) So you'd do this 10x - 1 for 1" 1gpi, 2 " 1gpi, 3" 1gpi...... 5" 1gpi, then again for 2gpi 1" 2gpi, 2" 2gpi, 3" 2gpi.....5" 2gpi. Then you'd really have a graph of optimum placement for each length strip for 1g per inch and 2g per inch tapes. Something like paddleweights.vercel.app I vary how much lead tape I used to balance my paddle static weight to 8.5oz. If stock weight is 8.3oz then can only add .2oz of tape vs 7.9 stock paddle weight, then have .6oz to add to the paddle. (I also gauge how much less jarring or twisting I experience after the tape added to see if I need more or if swing weight is getting too high/hand speed starting to suffer to remove. Then its a decision to have more twist weight and less hands or not sacrifice hands and accept more jarring/twisting.)
The J2K now has a 14mm version. What kind of player would want the 14 vs the 16?
Someone who prefers more pop for more aggression at the kitchen, but with the drawback of a bit of a smaller sweet spot.
The disc jockey-level compression you put on your voice in these videos still cracks me up.
lol as long as it brings a smile to your face I’m happy
Can you test the Friday Pickleball Challenger paddles ? love the reviews by the way
Thanks so much! I’ll look into them. I had a buddy break a Friday paddle in half at my local court hitting a drive and ever since I’ve had a really bad perception of their paddles.
@@stspickleball i have the challenger model not sure if its different than the others. but it has been abused over the last few months and held up well
