The CRUSH RQT Extended pickleball paddle delivers an effective level of performance, and features some traits that make it unique. One aspect that stands out is its 17 inch length, which is the maximum allowed by the USAPA, and affords a noticeable increase in reach, plus leverage, which is a great source of power. Due to the CRUSH RQT's length, the paddlde width is a mere 7 inches, and complements rolling shots, like speed-up volleys, and topspin groundstrokes from anywhere in the court. Another standout quality is the extra-extended handle length of 6.5 inches which provides plenty of room for either one or two hands on the paddle. If you think the CRUSH RQT is a powerful paddle, it is. An industry standard 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core, encased by the T700 raw carbon fiber surface helps to reign in that power and add lots of precision to the RQT. Together with the slightly smaller head size, these two technologies render point-dominating levels of spin, great shot depth control, and at contact of the ball, the CRUSH RQT is definitely quieter than most current paddles. Players who prefer to source paddle power more from length and weight, rather than from the pop off the core, will want to add the CRUSH RQT to their arsenal of pickleball paddles.
