I had been using the Engage Pro series for about the last year. When I tried the Alpha I knew I had to switch. I convinced my men's doubles and mixed doubles partner to test drive them and now we all on team Coretek. Good control and plenty of pop and power. We added a carbon fiber edge guard and it really looks sweet.
If your put-aways are getting returned, buy an ALPHA α. In addition to the punch this paddle packs, it felt stable in my hand when resetting drives. At the kitchen I could dink aggressively with spin. The sweet spot feels huge and responsive. Players looking for power on a budget need to look no further than the ALPHA α.
I have played with lots of paddles over the last year and the Omega is at the top of the list when it comes to power, pop, and playability. There are so many good things to say about this paddle and I’ll share a few. 1. The 6 inch handle is great in conjunction with the paddle weight, it is well balanced. 2. The speed that the balls comes off during hands battles is pretty epic. 3. I love the sound of the paddle when you hit the ball purely on the sweet spot.
The amount of ingenuity and tech in this paddle is beyond worth the price. Highly recommend!
Sincerely,
Satisfied pickleball player
The CoreTech Alpha looks amazing BUT the playability is awesome! I don’t understand all the tech in the paddle but I can feel the difference in with power. The price is unbelievable for the product.
I rotate the Alpha with my Ruby, DBD, Proline S, etc. and it plays as well as any of them. Power, control, pop and spin are excellent. I’ve added no lead tape and I’ve played it for a month with no elbow issues. I have been surprised at how much control I have while using it since it’s known for power. I thoroughly enjoy playing the Alpha and communication with Coretek has been top tier. I
