Sypik Avatar Review – UPA-A Model – 99th Percentile Spin at $280 | Pickleball Paddle

I've been testing the $280 Sypik Avatar UPA-A model for weeks now, and honestly, it's a mixed bag. This elongated paddle (16.5 x 7.375", 8.26oz) has some of the most impressive spin numbers I've seen - 2387 RPM puts it in the 99th percentile. The surface is ridiculously gritty, like sandpaper, and it shows in the performance with solid serve speeds (59.6 mph) and decent punch volleys (38.3 mph).
