The Warrior BluCore v3 by the numbers
Each bar places this paddle between the lowest and highest figure among the 41 paddle models on our wall. The dot is this paddle, the tick is the average. These are the makers' published specs, not lab measurements.
Buy it if
- You want a thicker core. At 19 mm it sits at the thick end, which usually means a softer feel and more control.
- You hit a two-handed backhand. The 5.7-inch handle leaves room for both hands.
- You want reach. It is 16.4 inches long with a 7.4-inch face, the long, narrow layout singles players and former tennis players tend to like.
- You want some mass behind the ball. 8.5 oz puts it among the heaviest paddles we stock.
Skip it if
- You want the quicker pop of a thinner 13 or 14 mm core.
- You want the biggest sweet spot you can get. The 7.4-inch face is one of the narrowest we stock.
- You want the lightest, fastest paddle on the wall.
What players say about Pickleland
4.9 on Google from 918 reviews of the club.
Pickleland is great! 9 beautiful courts that are completely separate from each other! There are so many opportunities to play all week long. I'm so glad Pflugerville has something that the whole family can enjoy!
I had a blast the first day at Pickleland! Met some new friends, played some competitive games, and toured the awesome new facility in Pflugerville! Looking forward to getting to know the community. Staff is extremely helpful and knowledgeable.
Courts: sturdy with spacious divisions, high ceilings, and good lighting (you won't be blinded if the ball goes high). You can tell the builders did research on quality pickleball courts and executed it very well. Vibes: really friendly and accommodating staff! Competition for open play is one of the best in Austin, so if you want some fun and good games, this is your place!
