So much fun. The control is incredible, it feels like a widebody paddle but has good power!
Great paddle. The handle is difficult to get use to. Felt much better when normal grip was removed and replaced with a thin over grip. Just started to love the paddle when the paddle broke at the throat area.
Hi Thomas thanks for your excellent feedback. We're glad to hear that you were enjoying your paddle and since it's broke I will be happy to replace it even though it's past its warranty! We've also upgraded the grip to two different type variants which may help. Please just send me a messsge through the site contact form or contact me through the live chat. Thank you again for your review and feedback!

The Alpha paddle was great right out of the box but when I added a little lead tape, it took it to another level. The spring effect from the foam was much more evident and the paddle was even more powerful. Very happy with the Alpha.
Thanks for your review we're very happy to hear that you're enjoying your Alpha! Hope you have a good holiday and continue to enjoy your paddles :-)
Very good paddle cover. Love the texture.
So important
Nice system
The Oxford material is very nice. Durable and waterproof. Takes abuse at other backpacks actually wouldn't. Plenty of space inside not bad at all.

Our team works hard to ensure our products can withstand any kind of use. We appreciate your feedback and hope you continue to enjoy the ample space inside the backpack. Happy pickling!
Great paddle. Amazing price. I love the balance and the pop. For the price you could buy both the Alpha and Omega. I know some who have.
Not around enough! Hopefully will play Wednesday. Thanks for the review ☺️
The sweet spot is the entire surface, very balanced with lots of power.
The Alpha really is a great paddle. I've had two days of competitive playing and it took me almost no time to get used to it. It handles excellent. It dinks well, plays down the line well, serves to where you want, AND is very powerful too. That's the tough part getting both. You will not be disappointed. Oh, it scoops up those ones at your feet with zero bounce better than any paddle I've ever played with. Either that, or I got really good overnight. Not.
I love this paddle. Few paddles I’ve tested have as much easily accessible power and pop, even fewer retain strong control for resets and dinks. The alpha is a true power paddle that doesn’t sacrifice control. Power, control, and the gnarly spin this paddles offers makes it a true weapon for all skill levels. Constructive subjective criticism: I would prefer the handle to be more of an octagon and less logo on the paddle face. My paddle weighed in at 8.4 ounces leaving little room to add weight. This wasn’t an issue for me but may be for others. Also the paddle feels a little bulkier than other 16mm paddles. Being said, the alpha has replaced the Paddletek bantam tko-c as my main and I highly recommend it.
so FUN to play with this new paddle! Plenty of Power and a 'balanced' feel.
This paddle is amazing. It really is a totally new material to learn but once you get the hang of it the pop and spin are incredible. I've played with the alpha and it's not quite as stable but once I got more used to the Omega I've been playing with it as my main.
Honestly unreal how great of a paddle you get for this price. I love the long handle and powerful face. This paddles has it all and is one of my go-to-choice's. Coretek has done something special with this one and I hope the company gets the recognition it deserves for the hard work they put into this. Would recommend it to anyone!!!
Without a question, both paddles play great. Alpha is definitely geared towards faster play, whereas Omega towards more control. Great paddles.
Great cause
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
