ETHOS Telos Pickleball Paddle with Raw Toray T-700 Carbon Fiber 16mm

Really soft paddle. Not great for dinks and fast rally at the kitchen. The ball doesn't bounce much on this paddle.

I tried this pickleball paddle and knew immediately that it was the right one. I can hit the ball harder with less effort, but still have good control.

Innovative shape of eliminating the corners of the paddle that rarely make contact with the ball results in a light and very maneuverable paddle without sacrificing power or control. Great spin and sweet spot. I have tried several paddles including the Z5, Prince Response Pro, Vadic Pro, Hudef, and other thermoformed paddles and this remains my favorite. It has really helped my game and confidence. Would highly recommend! I have seen several top rated players and pros at my club using this paddle.

This paddle has it all. The long handle provides reach and allows for a two handed backhand. It provides excellent control, power, and spin! This is now my number one paddle and I’m looking forward to using it in upcoming tournaments! This is a must have!!Lindsay Lyon

I love this paddle. As soon as I tried it I was hooked. The control on this paddle is amazing with incredible speed. The shape also makes it so great. The dead zones are almost non existent with a incredible sweet spot.

Knew it was the right paddle for me from the first strike. It felt great, even on my elbow. The Ethos feels so light, nimble and balanced. My game was instantly improved, placement, spin and power. So happy, love the Ethos.

The shape is so innovative that all of my Pickleball buddies were asking me about this paddle when I pulled it out of my bag. As mentioned in the description it does have a longer handle, making it ideal for those using a two handed backhand grip. Even if you have a one handed grip I would suggest giving this paddle a try for it's ability to impart spin, power and feel when hitting dink shots. Even though it hits hard, I found it to have a good touch when hitting slower paced shots where feel matters. With name brand paddles sky rocketing up to $250 you can find real value in the off brand market in paddles made by those whose passion for the game led them to create something new. Lastly, I watched several 4.5-5.0 players using the Ethos and I can assure you if they liked it so would you.

So easy to use right away! Very balanced and easy to swing. My shots are so much better with this!
