I genuinely like the Monarch Slayer and I want to upgrade

I genuinely like the Monarch Slayer paddle, and I can beat people with paddles like the Honolulu Sword and shield, or CRBN true burn(I'm around a 4.0). I want a paddle with a similar feel, but with a stronger spin. I think I wore out my paddle and need a Upgrade. like I mention I genuinely do enjoy the feel of the paddle.

I want the CRBN4 Hybrid, I have a gift card from Scheels...the CRBN4 (and 3) are Elongated in the description, but the 4 is the Hybrid. Figure I'll get a Hybrid 4 if I order online?

PSA: Stay away from CRBN pickleballs

Didn't see this posted anywhere searching for the topic. Cracked open a six pack of these to try and do some drilling this evening. I wouldn't recommend these for anything other than serving practice. There was a weird bounce every third rally or so. Just regular dinks and drives that hopped inches off of a regular bounce or died completely with no spin. X40's are my go to as a 3.0 player. Got two dozen Lifetime balls and have heard good things but I hear they play a little too fast fo...

CRBN Pro Team Sling Bag

Anyone have experience with the CRBN Sling Bag? I’m an amateur/rec player, playing 2-3x a week, and looking for a dedicated bag to carry 1-2 paddles, a water bottle, towel, keys, wallet, phone and sunglasses (the basics). Room for shoes would be nice, which this doesn’t, but that’s really only an issue for winter. I find most bags too big and like that this is unique from a regular backpack and an overall lower size profile. Thanks!

Need Recommendations: Safety/Impact-Rated Glasses for PB

Hi, I’m shopping for pickleball eye protection in the $50–$100 range. Prefer outdoor use, non-prescription. Any favorites for comfort + anti-fog + polarized + impact rated + rubber ear and nose pads? Would love brand/model suggestions. Based on previous posts, CRBN doesn’t appear to be impact-rated, so it may not offer sufficient protection. Considering Tifosi Rivet, Kilo or Wiley X Swift...

How is Speedup’s customer service?

I know this is a long shot considering Speedup has been half out of the game for two years but I’ve got a Tide 14L on preorder and was wanting to know how responsive their support is? I core crushed a bunch of Joola paddles last year (four of them) and a CRBN Trufoam Waves (death rattle) and even had my PB Apes tour bag’s liner tear on me. Joola’s lousy CS lost me forever but CRBN and Apes were great. My second Waves is rattling again 😮‍💨 so yeah, warranty support is a huge factor to me. Any...
