Read Pickle's full breakdown
Who should buy the Pursuit Pro MX
Buy it if you're a solid 3.5-4.0 player who wants genuine power-and-control value without spending $200. The 15.2mm elongated frame plays softer than most thin-core power paddles while still hitting hard, and the carbon face grips for spin. A lot of paddle for the dollar.
Who should skip it
Skip it if you're a true beginner or a committed specialist. There's no oversized sweet spot and the extra pop is hard to control, so lower-level players will struggle with it. And a 4.5 spin assassin or dedicated control player will out-grow the all-rounder tuning - the thin Pursuit Pro1 is the sharper spin tool.
The main tradeoff
Real power at a value price, but the pop comes without a forgiving sweet spot - it demands hands. It's a genuinely good all-rounder, yet a committed banger or dinker will eventually want a paddle built for their one shot.
Is it worth it?
At $103.99 it overdelivers - flagship-adjacent power and feel for a mid-tier price. One of the best dollar-for-performance picks in the catalog for a solid 3.5-4.0 who wants more pop than a beginner paddle and has the hands to control it.
