Bob Youngren, a Super Senior, USAPA National Champion and nationally ranked player for over 20 years and well known Pickleball Instructor. “I played with an aluminum core fiberglass face paddle for 8-9 years, which was a great paddle. But as I entered my 70's, I needed more power. I already had the controlled shots/strokes, but felt I needed more power. I tried the Engage Encore paddle, and I fell in love with it! It gave me the same feel in my dinking and placement shots as the aluminum core, but created more power when needed. I also moved from a weight of 7.8 oz to 7.5 oz. I think the Engage paddle is a super fit for senior players. Give it a try. As you get older, you need all the help you can get!” Coach Mo, a Super Senior, USAPA National Medalist and well known Pickleball Instructor. “Picking a paddle is a very personal thing (shape, size, composition and the proper weight for your age and ability). EngagePickleball has many great models to pick from. I selected Engage for my SIGNATURE COACH MO PADDLE because their paddles have excellent power with great feel and control over the entire surface of the paddles. Before I endorsed my paddle from Engage, I used it for a good length of time to be sure I had confidence that it was improving my game. Which it did. Engage paddles are built with a consistency and quality I can put my name behind and they stand behind their paddles.”
