I like the control of the paddle. It slows the ball down if I want to and power when I need it.
Just love this paddle. Have used a bunch of paddles - Friday, Wilson, CRBN and this one is head and shoulders above them all. It has great balance and feel and gives both power and control. As an added plus it even comes with a nice case.
I was so excited to receive my new Gen 4.5 paddle . The paddle has such great action and power . I am learning how to control all the action and reaction of this amazing paddle !
very good paddle. Feels great, looks great, and plays great. Great power and control
All my friend love this paddle I have bought 5 so far. Will buy more soon .
I like the premium feel of the paddle! It has the power and pop I am looking for. The surface has a lot of grit that helps with generating spins. It gives me great feedback when I hit the ball, I know how it would react to every hit! Overall, excellent paddle!
It's taken a few games to get the feel for this paddle, but the more I use it, the more I like it. Good job, Connor and team!
This paddle has great power at the base line and great touch at the kitchen line. Solid grit and spin. The 2 pack is some serious value if you have another person to go halfsies in on it with
It has a beautiful display. Wife enjoys playing behind it. However two problems, it does have a small dent on one side when it arrived and the instructions could be a little bit clearer when it comes to attaching the bolt that holds the board to the mount.
Honest review on the Gen 4.5 Elongated Pickleball Paddle
The Gen 4.5 Elongated is easily one of the best foam-core paddles out there right now — combining top-tier performance with a clean, aesthetic design that just feels premium in hand.
Power: 8/10 – It delivers a satisfying pop without sacrificing control, giving you enough punch to finish points but not so much that you lose precision.
Control: 10/10 – This is where it truly shines. Dinks, drops, resets — everything feels buttery smooth and predictable. You can really place your shots with confidence.
Spin: 10/10 – The textured surface grips the ball beautifully, generating impressive spin whether you’re driving or adding bite to your serves and thirds.
Overall, I have tried this paddle for 1-2 months. I have ordered about 2 batches as well as it is hard to find this paddle in my country. The feedback is awesome. I can't wait for the new paddle !
Loving this new paddle! Lots of power... and control. Great price.
I’ve been using the Dink Master Pro for a couple of weeks. Hand speed has improved. Dink placement is much better. Assembly was straightforward. Definitely recommend this home practice equipment.
I like the sweet spot! Now i can do better spins and i feel a huge improvement on my games.
I started playing pickleball in late April 2025, and I went from a $15 paddle to a $100 paddle, then to a $120 paddle, and now to this $155 paddle.
I play about 4 to 5 days a week.
Price-to-Performance: This is the best paddle I have ever used, by a mile. It can hit hard when you want to, but also really soft on the control side.
I am super happy with the Gen 4.5 and how affordable this foam paddle is.
I have the Sweet Spot Pro and the Gen 4.5. I first wanted the Gen 4.5 because of the technology but couldn’t find one to try, but a friend had the Sweet Spot Pro so I gave it a shot. I was very easy to place shots and manipulate the ball. Power was less than my Trufoam but it was definitely more playable. So I bought both!!!! The Sweet spot fits really well when I am over powering or on windy days. It totally excels on indoor basketball/wood floor courts. I like the power and touch of the Gen 4.5 but if I am having an off day or I am indoors with dinkers the Sweet Spot Pro is on and ready to go. One more thing to mention the handle on the Sweet Spot Pro is in my opinion the best there is, excellent shape with pronounced landing spots on the short sides. I makes adjusting your grip for shaping your shot very easy. The Gen 4.5 is similar and nearly as good you probably wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. As I said I have bought both!!!!
The new Gen 4.5 paddle has a ton of pop and some great grit to get lots of spin on the ball. Well worth the purchase.
Love the DinkMaster!! It really has helped doing the drills that Connor shows on his YouTube videos...fast hands and practicing dinks!! No more hitting against a wall..plus I've been using the Ninja balls..so quiet..
Live this paddle. Been playing about 3 weeks now. Great power, and great sweet spot.
Despite some shipping issues, once the paddle arrived, ive had a great time playing with it. The perfect combination of power and control and gives a good amount of spin.
I love the touch, feel and spin of this paddle! I doesn't feel as heavy as other all FOAM paddles and I'm having fun using it. Takes a little to get used to if you've never used one, but it is a great paddle. I wasn't happy with the shipping of the paddle. Took me 2 weeks to get it after being told I'd have it in a week. Will have to think twice about ordering from Enhanced, in the future, because of this.
I bought this on a whim and don’t regret it one bit. Has been a fantastic beginner paddle allowing me to step in easily with some friends who have been playing for years.
I love that I can practice in my house and outside. I live at the beach and the ocean breeze can be an issue. I also received exceptional customer service! I highly recommend the Dink Master Pro to anyone who wants to improve their game😊
I bought the dink master to hit more balls and pick up some dinking skills. Well, it turns out that was an underestimate. The dink master pro has not only made dinking so much easier, but my shot placement and reaction time have doubled! Thanks Enhance!!
