Awesome Control & Excellent Feel
"After trying so many different paddles, I tried this paddle and after 1 warm-up session it was perfect! I have enough power for put aways, plenty of spin that seems to continue to get better and better with this the more I play with it but where I'm winning matches now is with the control. I like angles and hand speed, this gives me both along with the put away power when needed!!! Oh, and my opponents hate seeing this paddle come to the court :)"

The OWL CXE
"it is good, not very forgiving out of the sweet spot, at the sweet spot it is very hard to control, good overall, I was expecting a better performance after all the advertising I was seen, but obviously was all exaggerated to get the players attention just a good paddle and many people complain saying it is an illegal paddle"

Love the OWL
"I'm probably a 3 to 3. 5 level player. I am now using the OWL CXE instead of my Selkirk LUXX Control Air. I have found that the OWL gives me better control on my shots and enhances my spin shots, which I do a lot of. Several of my pickleball friends use OWL paddles as well. I highly recommend giving the OWL CXE a try."

Quit making so much noise. .
"I love my new CXE Drew Brees edition! I purposefully bought this paddle because I want to protect my ears and not annoy people when playing outdoors. I have received quite a bit of attention at various pickleball clubs with some people wanting to touch its soft surface. It plays well and looks really nice."

This is my second Owl
"This is my second Owl paddle. The old one got a great use out of it. I love the control it provides and its quietness. Its soft touch is an advantage also, because the opponents can't use the paddle sound to gage the power of the hits. It's also fun to be known as the guy with the weird, carpeted paddle :))"

Great Control
"This is my favorite paddle, the satisfying sound when it hits the ball is the best. The only problem I’ve had is that the paddle is breaking down on me. I hit very powerful drives and I believe because of that the carpet around the edges is coming loose. Very great product and I do recommend if you’re not a hard hitter."

Great Paddle Great Consistency
"Love the paddle so far. However, the outer edge is starting to tear already. Not sure if I’ve just hit a ball wrong or accidentally have scraped it across the ground when countering a lob so would definitely recommend getting a wrap for it before playing to extend the life of the paddle"

Love this paddle
"I'm fairly new to the sport of pickball and my instructor uses Owl paddles. After letting me use his for a lesson, I was hooked. Love my new paddle and have noticed a definite improvement in my skills and ability."

Attention getter
"I’ve had my Owl for a couple weeks and I’m really enjoying how it plays. The quiet thunk sound it makes is disarming for some people and so everybody is quite curious about it. My play feels much more controlled and consistent. With the felt like surface, I tell everyone it looks like a paddle dressed for winter. My only disappointment is, with all the specific instructions on how to care for the paddle, there was no paddle cover included. However, it arrived in a very fancy box that I will dutifully recycle. I would rather have received a paddle cover."

cool paddle
"super fun paddle to use, there is one issue i have with it is the sweet spot is not as big as a normal paddle would be, but its to be expected from a silent paddle. over all ive gotten many compliments and my over all game play feels better"
