Played for 2 hours with it today! I think the RPM is amazing. I have tried many paddles. It has a buttery feel in plush side compared to Pro IV Perseus 16mm. To me it has a bit more power and pop. Has the delayed spin which I love and good flex. Much better grit. I am hoping the grit lasts. I am loving it.

Very happy with this paddle. It’s exectly what was expected. It’s an upgraded Joola with power and spin

I'm loving my paddle, and Hometown Pickleball did a fantastic job overall! Shipping was extremely quick.

Great paddle! Cant wait to try the wide body! Feels a little softer than the Joola Pro IV Perseus and a little more consistant and controllable.

Hometown was easy to work with, and delivered the paddle quickly. I recommend them!!

Great paddle! The R5 shape feels like playing with a very maneuverable hybrid paddle. Lots of whip can be added to shots. Paddle stays light even after customization with weights. Plenty of power and pop.

Great paddle for control! Fast Shipping and As Described!

Nice products and fast shipping!!!

When I got this paddle I thought they had made a mistake."Lightly used"? It looks brand new! I was ecstatic to get such a high quality, well-made paddle for a great price. Hometown Pickleball is my go-to from now on!

Good deal on a great paddle. Will buy from Hometown again. Thanks

Paddle was like new.

Nice paddle - I need to adjust some of my shots because it packs more punch than my old paddle😀.

It was a quick delivery and I love the paddle! - Stosh

A bit of adjusting to the handle but not near as much as I thought. I like it.
