This is my third Ethis paddle and it is my new favorite. It’s lightweight yet delivers precision . This is a must have for any avid player!

Extremely powerful yet light in the hands. Significant spin production off the face gives me fantastic control. The Kevlar core delivers impressive drives without added weight. It has a shorter handle than the Arete, but it’s proven effective for my two-handed backhand. The aerodynamic design enhances maneuverability at the net. This paddle has quickly become my daily driver, elevating every aspect of my game.

FINALLY, a paddle light enough for me to flip around at the net. I’m a small 5’2’’ 100 lb female and my wrist would start hurting after an hour or two of play when at the net volleying. This paddle is SO quick and upped my game after just one play. I’m so excited and grateful I found this paddle and for anyone struggling with top heavy paddles should try it out!

I've been playing with the Dunamis for about a month and love it. It's lightning fast at the net, providing great counters. I've played with the Arete previously and the Dunamis provides the power and spin I was missing. Highly recommend.

Have tried a few paddles and this by far is my favorite. Good control and can add weights to increase power as desired. I like the wider paddle .

The Ethos Scoria is my fourth paddle since I started playing pickleball. However the second “real” paddle I’ve had. So far it has been an amazing paddle. My games have improved! I love the tackiness of the paddle face and have had several positive comments about it. The main thing I am impressed with, is the handle length. I have returned so many shots thanks to the reach I have now. My only concern is the grip. It is a little too smooth and with the sweat I can feel it slipping from my grip as opposed to other grips. I’ll likely re-wrap it. I well, it has been a wonderful find and paddle!

After using a Selkirk Luxx Control paddle I wanted to get a bit more power but not give up the control I was getting. I gave the Scoria a try and wow, what a paddle. A nice boost in power, lots more spin than the Selkirk, and yet very forgiving at the net. And my two-handed backhand--well, I can really rip them now. Overall the best paddle I've used, and at a great value!

The Scoria paddle is crip on vollys and had enough power to slam balls with no problem. It is easy to dink with! I love my Ethos Scoria!!!

I started with a beginner paddle from one of those four-in-one sets on Amazon. Then tried the Wilson Juice and loved the blade shape as a past tennis player. However the materials were not great and two of them broke on me. Then I tried a step up with the Engage Pursuit. Better performance but within a few months I felt a subtle crack had formed between the handle and face. This happened to two new Engage paddles. I worried that I wouldn't be able to find a blade paddle/reach that wouldn't be always breaking.

My friend recommended I check out Ethos' Scoria, which is thermoformed, so it's not two pieces connected like the Wilson or Engage seemed to be. The Scoria has given me the same feel and performance as a blade without losing the sweet spot or the breaking that the other paddles had. Better control than the other ones too. Very happy with Ethos' communication (customer service) and this paddle.

Coming from a two handed backhand tennis background, I was originally drawn to the Scoria due to its 6" handle. After playing with the first one I purchased, I knew almost immediately this would be the paddle I would use long term. The ability to hit heavy ground strokes I expected, but not with the amount of control the Scoria provides. I can shape and soften my shots at the kitchen with this paddle more so than others I have used. I thought there would be a trade-off with what I would gain in power....I would lose in control. I just haven't found that to be the case. So, I'm all in on the Scoria. Just received my second Scoria paddle, today.

At first glance, it looks different but once you start hitting with it , it feels powerful with control. I personally dont care for the look but the feel is nice and controlled. Maybe if they make the dace a but larger it would allow for more spin.

I have been playing pickleball now for about a year and it has quickly became an obsession. When starting out I used every paddle you can think of major names and not so big brands and all price points 100 - 275 dollars. I found this paddle here and not only did my game improve but I was able to learn new shots from this 6inch handle. I may or may not own 5 ethos paddles currently. This paddles deserves 6 stars for power, touch, spin, dinks, length, and design.
Not only is this paddle amazing the owner is very responsive and actually cares about the game not the wealth. He deserves 5 stars as well.

I love the paddle and I switched from my two regular paddles. I feel the longer handle helps with topspin. I thought I would miss the sweet spot more because the face is smaller than a normal paddle, but that doesn't seem to be the case. It is very light and makes me quicker at the net.

I'm an instructor and rep 4 different lines of paddles. I have been playing with the Arete almost exclusively for 3 months. I rely on quick hand speed to compete, and the Arete is the fastest paddle i've used. The shape allows me to get back more balls than other paddles. Plenty of pop.

I have been a ranked player and teaching tennis pro for years and years, and I have also tried many Pickleball paddles to no avail. The Ethos Arete with its long gated handle and teardrop design along with 10 g of lead tape is perfect for any tennis player, wishing to play pickle ball at a high-level.

Nice paddle

The Ethos Telos paddle is my very first Pickleball paddle. I purchased it for its extended handle, which is perfect as someone who has traditionally always played tennis and wants good reach and space for a two handed backhand. It’s got a great soft touch and also provides ample spin. I see myself as a repeat customer for this paddle.

This paddle is a game-changer and a must-have for anyone stepping onto the pickleball court. From beginners to seasoned players, it offers a solid performance across all aspects of the game. With finesse for delicate shots and power for put-aways and drives, it's the ultimate all-court paddle. What sets it apart is its ability to deliver consistent and reliable shots, ensuring you're always in control of the game. And considering its price point, it's undoubtedly a top-tier paddle that punches well above its weight. If only I had discovered this paddle when I first started playing, my game would have reached new heights much sooner.

I love this paddle! Telos is lightweight and responsive. It allows me to react quickly and accurately to my opponent's shots. I won't use any other paddles going forward.

From the moment I put this paddle in my hand it has become my all time favorite! My old paddle felt like a clunky SUV and now I have a speedy sports car . My game has dramatically improved!. My serve and drives are stronger [and more consistent], and my hands are super quick at the kitchen. I encourage you to try it.. it may just transform your game too!
