THE PADDLE REGISTER · 2025 · CURRENT
Friday Fever
Pickleheads gave it 4.5/5 and said it 'punches way above its price', more consistent across the face than Friday's Challenger and short on power. It showed a thermoformed foam-edge paddle could be sold direct at $99 months before the $99 full-foam paddles arrived.

MEASURED BY THE LABS
The register does not re-measure paddles or copy a lab's numbers wholesale. Power, pop and spin belong to the people with the radar guns; go read them.
FIELD REPORTS · AFTER YOU BUY IT
Reviewers measure a paddle new. Nobody measures it at hour sixty.
Loading field reports…
Keep a bag on Rally: log the hours you put on this paddle, when the grit fades, and when it goes dead. It stays on your device until you press "send a wear report", and the report carries no name.
