After almost 400 hours of playing time on my original Slash (which was still in decent shape) I thought it was time for a refresh. Before I did my repurchase I tried a wide variety of demo paddles from a well-known manufacturer. I kept coming back to the Slash. I believe the paddle is a great value given it's high quality. As a player at about a 3.5 level, it's a perfect paddle for me combining both power and control.
Love it!! The right weight, the right handle length, good ball control
I love this paddle. I am more accurate and have better range with my shots. Plus I am enjoying playing so much more! I can’t say enough about it. I am telling all my friends how amazing it is.
We're very pleased with our purchase and deal for 2 paddles. As new players just trying out the sport we purchased 2 generic paddles previously from a department store. I was wondering why I had little control when doing drills. I even thought this sport is not for me as a previous badminton player. Then I saw the ad for the Slash paddles and the deal for two of us to try. What a difference! I could bounce the ball endlessly in drills and had better control of where I wanted it to go on the court. Maybe if I get to a better level I'll even upgrade to the Slash Pro.
Second purchase of the Pro paddle (this time as a gift). I had another paddle before I purchased the PRO, and even though it was similar in material and construction, the PRO performed better. Shipping is very fast and the company is reliable re: customer service.. I have used my paddle for several months, so it has definitely been tested in the field. I am happy to support a small Canadian company and will continue to purchase here.
I just tried my new Slash paddle for the 1st time tonight! Very impressed. I know I have to put on an overgrip wrap and perhaps a bit of weight on the paddle but that will be some fine tuning in due course.
As advertised, a very good raw carbon fiber paddle...and at a great price!
I've only played a few games but so far so good. I like the longer handle, Buy the covers,
I've only played a few games but so far so good. I like the extra length in the handle. Get the cover. The 2 pack was a nice savings
Excellent paddle , extremely happy with the Slash Pro paddle.
Enjoying the longer handle and light weight feel.
Nice light paddles. Shipping was fast and reasonably priced.
I really like the feel of the paddle, but it doesn't have as much pop as my CBN paddle. I'll be staying with my CBN.
Great purchase experience! Only played once since receiving but love the feel and would recommend the slash to all beginners and intermediate players.
Fits perfectly and looks-real good. Good cushion and quality zipper.
Love this paddle , for me the longer handle is key as I like to double hand a lot and this paddle gives me better control , so happy with my purchase.
I’ve used it a few times now, and although I’m getting used to it, I’m still kind of disappointed. My old paddle is a Vatic Pro, which I purchased at a similar price point.
I find it weighted to the tip, which gives me lots of power even when I don’t need it; but not as much control.
The carbon fibre face is nice, but I’m convinced that the raised material of the embossed logo is interfering with the carbon fibre.
The handle took some getting used to, but it’s okay. Definitely less sweaty.
