Revo Pro Series Paddle Shapes Compared: Pure, Reach, Pure LH

We’re paddle-obsessed over here at Revolin, which means we are total nerds about helping you find the best pickleball paddle for your game. Whether you’re ripping forehands from the baseline or finessing resets at the net, the shape of your paddle can make all the difference. That’s why we’re here to break down the three unique shapes in our Revo Pro series: Pure, Pure LH, and Reach. 

Before we get into the shapes, two quick things.  

 

1. ABOUT THE REVO PRO SERIES

The Revo Pro Series is designed for upper intermediate to advanced players. Its raw LavaFLX™ face maximizes spin and creates more pop off the paddle face, which can be more difficult for beginners, especially those new to racquet sports, to control. On the other hand, this blend of power, control, and spin suits more competitive gameplay perfectly. For more beginner-friendly paddles, check out our Revo Series.
