SEE WHAT OUR PLAYERS THINK
I've played with many paddles over the years, but APL genuinely stands out. The carbon fiber face and thermoformed core give me the perfect balance of power and control, and you can feel the quality from the very first rally.

Outstanding Custom Carbon Fiber
I have noticed my ball strikes has improved especially with my cut slice. The APL Custom site was very easy to navigate & your color range allowed me to match the shades of Blue & Maroon perfectly.

My Review/Experience
My custom paddle is awesome. The only issue I experienced was the packaging was not great and my paddle came with some scratches on the image. Not noticeable unless you stare really hard or touch the paddle.

Great paddle! USPS not so much
First and most important, I'm really enjoying my paddle and it looks great. So why the 4? USPS took 2.5 weeks to deliver the paddle from Illinois to NJ. Tracking the package illogically traverse the country was comical.I recommend APL but hopefully with UPS option next time.

Great for the money
This paddle looks great. It has a nice pop to it. If you like a light paddle this will do just fine. I added weight to mine to open up the sweet spot and give a little more drive into my serves.
