TMPR Sports > Oculus LX > High Performance Honeycomb Polymer Pickleball Paddle > USAPA Approved

Received my TMPR Oculus LX a week ago and couldn't be happier or playing better. It provides outstanding feel as well as power and has already improved my game. The sweet spot is fantastic. The grip is the most comfortable I've ever played with. Spin control is great. I highly recommend it to players of all levels.

So I read the reviews prior to purchasing and since I am also a tenets player I felt this would be a great choice. I just started playing Pickle all and used it 3 times and The control is excellent along with no vibration. Go for it!,,

Only played with a few times, but so far it seems to be working well. Good control and spin. Definitely an upgrade from my previous racquet. A bit pricey, no sure if it is worth the extra spend so far.

Used it for the first time today, Two observations. First it seems as though the entire face is a sweet spot. Every shot felt solid. Second the balance is perfect for me. It feels like an extension of my arm, unlike my last several paddles which were mostly top heavy. . I won’t be able to blame the paddle any more. Now it’s all on me.

I like this paddle a lot. It is well balanced, allows for a lot of spin (which I use frequently in my game) and feels solid when hitting. It has less surface area than my previous paddle, which was more "square", but I did not notice it have any effect on my play (positive or negative). The argument is that the shape provides less wind resistance and a larger sweet spot, so perhaps over time I would see a difference in swing speed, arm fatigue, or fewer errors, but I think it would be hard to measure. There are also claims that the "proprietary cushioned handle inserts" provide vibration damping that can reduce "pickleball elbow". On this one, I do feel that there was less stress on my elbow than I normally feel on some shots. Could be the placebo effect, but I am not ready to discount this as a genuine benefit of this paddle.I knocked off one star as I did not feel that it stood out enough over the paddle I played with previously, which was half the price of this one. The surface texture of both is very similar, and I do not find that I get any more spin from the TMPR paddle. The thickness and weight of both are also very similar, and I do not see any noticeable increase (or decrease) in power, accuracy, errors etc. If those impressions change over time, I will update this review.I would rank myself as intermediate, playing 2-3 times a week.
