Great paddles, enjoyed the opportunity to compare them. Only issue…..nothing to do with Thompson…..was when they were sent, I got an email saying “delivery 7/2/26”. That night, email “sorry….delivery 7/3/26”. Paddles eventually came on 7/6/26…..dropped off at ups today, 7/13/26.
Love the feel when the ball hits the paddle. Controlled power and a nice soft touch.
I loved both the Uni and the Twill, but my favorite is the Twill. Not sure if it's because I used it first or if I just really like it, but it definitely is a great paddle. I am a 3.5 and am looking to improve my game. I especially love the seamless edge as my previous paddle had significant damage on the top edge. Would definitely recommend these paddles.
I love the control that my twill has for placing the ball where I want it to go!
I was mostly interested in trying the Twill. The paddle played and felt good, solid. Unfortunately, the grip circumference was a tad too big for me. Was looking for 4" or a custom size.
It was very easy to try the paddles once I found that Thompson offered this!
I feel that this program would reach even more people if it were promoted more!
Love this spin machine. 1st racquet I have played with that I can really feel the ball. Im hitting baseline winners with soft placement controll. Love it. Plan to buy widebody when it come out
Enjoyed the paddle but wish it had a 6” handle. That’s the only thing keeping me from ordering.
Using these paddles were a bit difficult for me. I am a short but quick player. I actually hit myself because of the length. Had probably something to do the fact that I normally use a shorter paddle. Also, however, crisp the shot was it would take some getting used to, seven days just isn't long enough.
Both paddles deliver good feel but lack in power. No “pop” to speak of.
I received the paddles in a reasonable time, then demo both of them and sent them back with the box and instructions provided.
A little disappointed with towel . Thought it would be bigger.
this is a really great paddle, love the UNI version, eventually I'll buy one :)
This paddle generated a lot more power without weight than other paddles I needed to weight-up to get deep baseline power without winding up and losing accuracy. Pretty impressed thus.far. I did weight this paddle up to 12 oz. but cant keep the ball on the court. Will reduce to 10oz to see if it gives me ultimate drive without over driving the ball.
I've been suffering from minor arm pain after pickleball for years. Since I've used this paddle, I no longer have arm pain. It took a few days and different configurations, but I finally figured out the grip on the paddle. The grip the paddle comes with is too thin and hard for my liking. I replaced the grip with a new, softer grip and then added an over grip. Now the paddle is much better!
Truly if it wasn't for the ability to demo the paddles, my wife and I would not have know how great these paddles are and how perfect they are for our individual style/level of play as well. We of course bought one of each for us and we couldn't be more happy....a serious game improvement paddle!!
I sent them back on Monday, I wrote my review and included it in the box. 12 different players were able to get a chance to try them.
I started playing pickleball 2 months ago. Since I am a racquet sports player it was easy to adapt to pickleball. The Twill paddle added a tremendous amount of control, spin and accuracy on the court. There is no over hitting and serves are quick and deep into the baseline. Thanks for the demo use. I would recommend the Twill to any advance player looking for a responsive paddle.
Workmanship is second to none. Lots of power and control. Mine weighed in at 8.6, a little heavier than what I was playing with before. Getting used to the weight. Amazing spin off the face.
I really liked both paddles. Big difference from paddles I have owned. My preference was the twill, just felt really good.
