Works really well! Good handle length and paddle quality.
Verry good
Been using this for more than 6 mos. now & none of the higher priced brands can’t match performance (power, control & spin). Surface holding up so well for almost everyday use. Customer service 10/10, prompt and great to do business with. Waiting for the next power paddle they will come up with.
This is an exceptional paddle. Performance is top notch, in my opinion. It gives me good power and spin and has been a game-changer for me.
Quality and package is very good, affordable, highly recommended.
Amazing feel and balance in your hand. The large sweet spot makes even an amateur play better!
I played 2 hours with this paddle today and I really enjoyed it. The weight is perfect and is not too light and not too heavy. I like the elongated paddle and the longer handle which allows for better reach and handling.
This is my 3rd pickleball paddle. It is solid build and fit just right in the hand. Looking forward to winning with this one.
Larger sweet spots make very easier to play. Elongated paddle and the longer allows for better reach and handling.
Nice plush feel, good power and pop. It's a solid paddle.
I love it after just one use. It isn’t the most powerful paddle but at the recreation level, it is powerful without compromising control. Nice looks as well. The Brown bag it came with is a little 1970s throw back but other than that, I highly recommend this paddle. And you can’t beat the price/quality ratio.
Past user of the Viva Gen 2 for past two years. Upgraded to Gen 3. Love the paddle. Easy to order. Quick delivery. Highly satisfied with my shopping and paddle playing experience. Also, a HUGE shout out to my dear friend Oliver at Casey’s Sports (Germany). His advice and knowledge on the game of pickleball, the paddle and the Hudeff brand was second to none. Thanks Oliver. Thanks Casey’s Sports.
Used it for the first time earlier this week. Tremendous paddle in terms of spin and control. Would recommend if you prioritize this as part of your game.
I do like the Hudef Viva Pro Gen 3 elongated paddle. Love the design and the color as well. It has very goofd power, control, and spin. I played with it against competitive players and I have no problem generating power and spin when needed. The grip is comfortable and it is weighted nicely. I added 2 strips of 3 grams lead tape to give it a little more pop. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase and totally recommend this paddle. Thankyou Hudef team for making a great paddle at a great price.
Went from 2nd Gen (edge guard loosened) to 3rd. Seems an upgrade to my game is the result. I did ask if there was any way to adhere the old edge but didn’t hear from anyone. But so far so good.
Yes, it does.
