Review of Prince Response paddle from Pickleball Central
Reviewed by Tricia Hoffman, Sonoma County Pickleball Club
Pickleball Central sent us a Prince Response paddle to review. A number of players in our club tried it out and the response (as in the name of the paddle) was “this is a great paddle!” The paddle is light weight (weighing approximately 7.5 ounces) and has a small grip (4 1/8 inches). The paddle head is rounder (more like a tennis racquet head) than some of the other Pickleball paddles that are on the market, making it wider at the base. It has a large sweet spot because of this innovative shape and it is weighted slightly heavier near the base of the head, closer to the handle. This would allow for a quicker response when hitting an overhead shot because of the “whipping” ability due to the weight distribution within the paddle head. Also, it has a nice texture which allows for good control and spin as well as power. The women in our club particularly liked this paddle and gave it 4 out of 5 stars. Those with larger hands, or players who would like a heavier paddle with more texturing on the face might want to go with the newer version called the Response Pro also by Prince.
To purchase this fine paddle contact Pickleball Central at 888-854-0163 or 253-854-0163 or you can place an order on their website: PickleballCentral.com. To go directly to this paddle on Pickleball Central use this :https://www.pickleballcentral.com/Prince_Pickleball_Paddles_s/297.htm

Our Club has been doing business with Pickleball Central for many years. They are an excellent company and I highly recommend them. They carry a wide variety of paddles from which to choose, are extremely reputable, are very knowledgable about their products, and have excellent customer service.
