Pickleball Paddle Review: S-Type Core 2
S-type Sports founder and CEO Steve Wong has created another pickleball paddle that is causing a flurry of good activity. The paddle is called the Core-2. This paddle is standard size at 15.5" length and 7.75" wide, with a long tacky handle. The paddle material is new territory from their standard composition. Steve Wong has used a fibreglass composition for his paddle, and has again not used his non-trademark viper face. Some customers didn't like having the aggressive viper design on their paddle, so the classy look on this paddle will ease new customers. Playing with this paddle is great, because it blends power and finesse. The fibreglass sends lots of power for those baseline shots, and overhead smashes, yet gives enough pop for those net shots and volleys. The long handle accommodates any size hand, and the gamma cushion bump grip is very tacky, and feels comfortable in the hand. Steve Wong has again created a paddle that will be seen on the tournament circuit to the local rec center. They sell for $65-$75 each.

Great paddle but very loud compared to other paddles.
