Thrive Fury Hybrid 15.5mm Pickleball Paddle Review

MATT'S VERDICT

The Fury Hybrid is one of the quicker power paddles I've played. The swing weight is below average for hybrids in this category, so flicks and counters come off fast, but the embedded throat weighting keeps the paddle stable through contact.
