This paddle seems to be very good quality and i think it plays as good or a bit better than than my previous paddle that was in the $120 price range so its a good value, especially if you use a promo code for an additional $20 off.
Excellent paddle well built easy to get used to. Good power and control. Spin is also very good. It looks very nice also. If you are looking for a foam core paddle that is not over priced then this is a excellent option.
This is a must have if you want to practice your ball control indoors without making noise
I’ve played with several paddles over the years, but the Gen 4.5 Elongated Pickleball Paddle is hands-down one of the best I’ve ever used. From the very first game, I could feel the difference — it's incredibly well-balanced, with just the right combination of power and control.
The elongated shape gives you that extra reach at the net without sacrificing maneuverability, which is a huge advantage during fast-paced volleys. The sweet spot feels generous, and off-center hits still have solid response and control. Whether I’m driving from the baseline or dinking at the kitchen line, this paddle performs beautifully.
What really impressed me was the grip — super comfortable, non-slip, and fits perfectly in hand, even during long matches. The core feels responsive without being too “poppy,” so I can finesse my shots when needed without losing touch.
Also worth mentioning is the sleek, modern design. It looks and feels like a premium paddle, and I’ve had multiple players ask me about it after matches.
If you're looking to elevate your game — whether you're a serious rec player or tournament-level — the Gen 4.5 Elongated is 100% worth the investment. It's a game-changer.
We love the Dink Master Pro for solo drills and partner sessions. Being able to get lots of touches in every day is elevating our game quality and boosting our success on the court. Whether used at home or brought to the courts, the Dink Master Pro makes practice and collaborative drilling easy and effective.
Enjoyed the Dink Master with the ninja balls immensely as it allowed me to practice seriously in the comforts of my house without bothering the neighbors/rest of the family with the noise.
Just wanted to say this has been a major boost for my hand skills at the net. I’m way more confident now and don’t need a drill partner to get my reps in — I can handle the work solo. Easily my best pickleball purchase yet.
I purchased the dink master to help me slow down and return dinks efficiently. So far so good!
I’ve only just begun my pickleball journey, and like many beginners, my first paddles were the ones I found on Amazon. They were fine to start with, but I often struggled to really control the ball. Then came the SweetSpot Pro—and from the very first time I played with it, it truly felt like love at first slice. We set our hearts on making these paddles our goal, and after a few months of waiting and saving, we finally got them. Holding them now, I can honestly say it was worth every bit of patience. Grateful for the joy they’ve brought to my game!
This is really great paddle. The surface let’s swing the ball well and sort of add too soon. Handling is great too due to long handle
My new red, white and black paddle plays as well as it looks! I have been focusing on hitting in the center but even if I don't my shots are nice.
I've been playing a little over two years, and this is my first time trying weights. I'm currently using a Sweetspot Pro, which is my 3rd paddle. I'm seriously looking at a Gen 4.5 for my next one.
I'm really impressed with the Balance Pods, both for them being Titanium rather than toxic lead, and also with them being a precut size rather than a roll of tape. Along with the location markings on the paddle's edge, it makes it very easy to place the pods in the right location on each edge of the paddle, keeping the paddle balanced.
I watched multiple YouTube videos on where to place weights and started with two pods down on the throat between the handle and the curve to go up the side. I was surprised how much those 6 grams added to the punch of my paddle on serves and drives.
I've just added two more going up the sides to see if it will help with the twist weight, but I haven't played with this configuration yet. Wish me luck.
This paddle feels very comfortable in my hand and responds exactly how I want it to
I am a 3.0 Spin/Power Player and love both from my new Paddle. Served 7 winners without the competition even touching the ball. WINNING!
Lighter than the previous paddle I was using. Still getting used to it. Better grip as well.
This is an excellent option for people not wanting to spend a lot of money on a pretty good gen 4 paddle.
I love my Dink Master! It took a while to arrive, and it was slightly damaged and the frame, but not enough to impede me using it or sending it back. It is well worth the money.
Love my SweetSpot Pro pickleball paddle! This is my very first pickleball paddle and absolutely love it. Used it for the first time at a pickleball clinic and couldn’t be happier. The paddle fits my grip perfect and the weight is also perfect. Thank you Enhance Pickleball!
I wore out my 6.0 DBD control. Was looking for an upgrade and this paddle does everything " better". Easy power on serves and drives. Volleys are crisp. Spin is great. Huge sweet spot. There's virtually no twist issues and no dead spots. This paddle is just ready to go and an absolute weapon. Love it.
I was excited to get the Gen 4.5 and was anxiously waiting for the drop! The launch timer seemed to move so slow days before the drop. Im proud to say that im one of the first few to purchase the GEN 4.5. And the wait was not in vain! The design is super sweet, my friends were envious and wanted to try it out. In terms of performance, the feel is soft and plush as most of the other foams are as well. The spin is easy to execute and has good control for dinks and drops. I was also surprised that with the plush feel, there's still alot of power! My friends liked it and 6 more paddles were ordered! What more can I say? However, it will take a couple of games to get used to the feel of the foam core and after that, you are set! Besides the paddle, Enhance produces fantastic videos and tutorials for those picking up and those alr in the game. In fact, I learnt alot from their videos and decided to support them with the paddle purchase and it did not disappoint. Buy it with confidence!!!
