Innovation in Action: Players Rave About the New Engage Paddle

We're thrilled to share the incredible feedback we've received on our latest paddle, the "Pursuit Pro1 Innovation." Players from across the country (and even internationally!) are experiencing the difference, and we couldn't be more excited. Here's what they're saying:

Player Highlights:

• Shane, Sacramento, CA (3/25/2025 17:43:23): "The Innovation is by far the best Engage paddle I have played with so far. I loved my Pro1 elongated but this one is even better. I added a little lead to it but the balance is amazing. First day out with it I played better than ever. The innovation feels like it pockets the ball more than the Pro1 elongated 13mm and has more plow through power. Contact is crisp and poppy. Power is ample and very linear to assist with controlling the ball."
  
  
• Jeremy, Knoxville, TN (3/25/2025 18:17:04): "The new innovation has all the positives of the pro1 elongated but with a little more swing weight which translates to more power and a fantastic feel. Has a larger sweet spot to give you more consistency and control. Plenty of grip space for us two handed backhand players. This is by far my favorite paddle and is now my main!"
  
  
• Bill, Klamath Falls, OR (3/25/2025 18:49:53): "I found the Innovation to have excellent power and spin. The grip on all Engage paddles fits comfortably in your had. What I noticed most about this paddle vs the other Engage paddles was its neutral weight, it felt neither head or handle heavy. I like it better than the others."
  
  
• Diane, Lacrosse, WI (3/25/2025 20:14:59): "The new innovation feels very comfortable. The grip is the perfect size. I really like the shape and cushioning of the grip. This paddle is quieter than the pursuit pro1. Power and spin are amazing -the ball comes off the paddle quickly. I love the feel -I can combine spin with power or spin on dinks. This is the best engage paddle I’ve tried. I love my pursuit pro1 but have moved to the innovation for most of my play. Others have tried it and are anxious to purchase when available. I would absolutely buy this paddle again and highly recommend it."
  
  
• Anthony, Lamoine, ME (3/26/2025 0:58:43): "I love the new Pursuit Pro1 Innovation. This shape is almost identical to the original Maverick, and Pursuit MX paddles that I've grown to love. I have been using the original Pursuit Pro1 instead of the Pursuit Pro MX as I preferred the feel and power of this new core. But the shape just wasn't my favorite. Now we have the Innovation and I couldn't be happier! The handle circumference on the 15.2mm Innovation is now smaller which is a major plus! Not sure how you pulled that off but it feels so much better than the massive MX! I've only played 4.5 - 5.5 rec twice since receiving it but so far this is exactly what I've been waiting for. Still has great spin and amazing power when I need it, while keeping the great feel that Engage paddles are famous for. I also love that I don't have to worry about delamination or core crushing like everyone else out there right now. Thank you Engage for continuing to make the best Legal paddles on the market."
  
  
• Jerry, Daphne, AL (3/26/2025 11:14:25): "I prefer this paddle over others because I like precise, controlled shots, and the Innovation paddle delivers, and has the power for drives when needed."
  
  
• Matt Guyan, Ottawa, Ontario (3/25/2025 19:21:58): "Paddle feels great in the hands, mine came in at 8.1 I added some weight to bring it up to 8.7 (my preferred weight) the most notable improvement from my current main paddle (pro 1) is the spin, the spin on this paddle is absolutely ridiculous. The soft touches and resets are a dream. However….. I did feel like the power and pop just isn’t there compared to my pro 1. I have used the innovation now for about 35-40 hours and will continue to use it outside of tournament play until I develop a better understanding of the paddle. Overall I give this paddle a solid 8.5/10. Well done Engage."
  
  
• Connie Zepeda, Honolulu, HI (3/26/2025 3:00:31): "What an incredible paddle! The feel, control, and power are unparalleled. As a former tennis player, I’ve never felt a paddle that truly resembles a tennis racket like the Pro 1 Innovation."
  
• Jessica, VA (3/25/2025 21:11:38): "The Innovation is a different kind of paddle, and you feel it from the moment you put it in your hand. The grip is the best one I've ever felt on a paddle, and the overall feel of the paddle is top-notch. With a surface area that puts a ridiculous amount of spin on the ball, and power that is unmatched, I played like a pro with it. From ace serves to killer spin on slams, this paddle delivers in a big way. In fact, I played so well with it that the guys I play with told me they'd like me to switch back to my old paddle. With the size and shape of the MX paddle and the power of the Pro1, this is my new favorite, clearly the best paddle I've ever owned. "
  
  
• Jim Laws, AL (3/25/2025 17:51:14): "Been playing with the Innovation 6.0 for over 2 weeks. Love the control and extra length on handle. Great for hybrid drops, hand speed seems better than Pro 1 6.0 elongayed. Surprised with slice returns, easy to manuver. Have had multipe friends try, favorable comments, probably their next purchase."
  
  
• Andy (3/25/2025 21:01:58): "This paddle is the best one you’ve made so far!! I’ve had the pursuit pro 1 prior to this and the innovation takes it to another level."
