Neonic Flare Titanium & Flare Prime Pickleball Paddle Review | Performance Paddles

How I measured this

Every number in this review is one I measured with my own equipment and instruments. Swing weight on a Briffidi SW1, twist weight on a Briffidi TWA2, static weight on a precision balance scale, serve speed and punch volley speed with a radar gun, spin from a high-speed camera at over 500 frames per second, surface roughness with a stylus roughness tester. It's the same setup for all 610 paddles I've measured.

Flare Prime 14mm: Swing weight 103.91 · Twist weight 6.5 · Spin 2,022 RPM · Static weight 7.56 oz · Serve speed 55.4 MPH · Punch volley speed 36.7 MPH

Flare Titanium 16mm: Swing weight 115.15 · Twist weight 7.17 · Spin 1,953 RPM · Static weight 8.17 oz · Serve speed 59.4 MPH · Punch volley speed 36.3 MPH

If a metric is missing above, that paddle hasn't been through that test yet. Full measurements for each paddle are on its paddle page. My method is written up on the methodology page, and every paddle I've measured is in the paddle data study.
