I have tried several paddles and the Eclipse paddle was hands down the best pickleball paddle that I purchased so far! I came across the Smash Serve website when I was searching for a new pickleball paddle since my old one was lacking in power, speed and precision. The Eclipse gave me the power and speed in my strokes, and added versatility to my game. When playing with this paddle I am able to strategically place the ball anywhere on the court. Look no further before purchasing your next pickleball paddle!
