Wolfe XF Pickleball Paddle - Edgeless Made with Graphite and Wrapped in Carbon Fiber - USAPA Approved for Tournament Play - Includes Case

The Wolfe XF Edgeless is a very lightweight, well-balanced, and sturdy paddle. The graphite paddle feels great in your hand, and the color pattern is always a hit out on the courts. People constantly ask where I got it, and if you are serious about pickleball, this is definitely a paddle to consider having in your bag. It's also great that there are so many colors to choose from.After having multiple wooden paddles snap on me (the handles just aren't built to withstand more than a few weeks worth of games it seems like), I decided that it would be much better in the long run to go with a graphite paddle. The one downside I find to this paddle is that the edges of it are a bit more dead, while the center has a relatively small sweet spot. This is very similar to a tennis racket rather than a ping pong paddle. The wooden pickleball paddles function more like the ping pong paddles.It might seem like a lot to pay for a pickleball paddle compared to the $15 ones you can buy at Walmart, but you can tell the enormous difference in a cheap wooden paddle and this high quality graphite paddle. Once you get used to it, you won't want to switch back. Especially after playing for an hour or more, your arm and your game will thank you.

I recently got back into pickleball and decided to get this paddle. This paddle is incredibly light, and really well made. However it seems to have a sweet spot in the middle, and as a consequence hits near its edge are significantly weaker. If I were a little more coordinated and better at playing the net it would be awesome, but I'm going to switch back to the wood for a while.

This paddle is comfy, light weight, and does a great job. I used a friend's and had to get one. Then, another friend used mine, and he ordered one for himself, too. I recommend it.

Kind of dead and too slick for spin

I like the paddle a lot I think it increases my control. I had to purchase a new Wolfe XF 3K because part of the edgeless was coming loose from normal use?

I began playing pickle ball January 2017. I hav employed consistently 3 times per week since that time. My friend who had a Wolfe paddle let me used his and I loved the feel of it and especially liked the fact that it did NOT have those edges. When I have played with a paddle that has edges, my ball seems to go in a crazy direction which is not what we want it to do :)After a month or so of using my friends, I decided to buy my own and I am still very happy with it. Yes, the very edge does get little chips, but it makes no difference on how the ball is hit or placed. I also love the fact that it comes with a board cover!

Bought this Aug 19, 2105. This past month, late October 2015, the paddle began to get chips on both edges. At first I thought the chips would not be a problem but the chip on the upper right side has widen and there is now a long crack coming down from the chip and I suspect it will break off a big piece soon.I have seen other players with this same brand of paddle and they do not have chips/cracks in the paddles. I wish I had bought this brand at the local sporting goods store just like these other players did. The return on this paddle is 30 days and it held up fine for the first 30 days but starts to fall apart in 60 days.

This is a lightweight edgeless paddle designed for control, not power. It seems to be working well for my game--I'm placing my shots better. Two notes: the grip felt wonderful and soft at first but I quickly wore 2 holes in it. I haven't replaced the grip, I just use the holes for finger placement. As mentioned in other reviews, the edges do chip easily. I'm trying not to let that bother me. The paddle works for me. Will probably look for a different brand when it needs replacing.
