It has the best combination of power and control and gets good spin. I had been wanting an elongated paddle that was rounded at the edges but couldn't find one for the longest time. In comparison to the J2K, they both have the best control of any paddle I've used. The CF3 has way more power, a lighter stock weight, is less top heavy, in part because I had to add weights to the top edges of the J2K for more power. CF3 stock weight is 8.18 oz and J2K's was about 8.3 but with the added weight and grip, it's 8.47. I haven't had to add a sweat-wicking grip to the CF3. I took off half a star because I asked them if they still had lighter-weighted paddles available and if I could request one. They said they did and I could but I feel like if they have 7.7 oz paddles, then an 8.18 paddle is probably not one of their lighter paddles. It's still light for an elongated paddle so not too big of a deal but I have right shoulder pain so it does make a difference. I had a 7.7 oz Vector XL that I liked until it got delaminated. I saw the StandOut owner on a podcast and learned she was a co-founder of Six Zero so that made me a little more comfortable buying from a company I had never heard of that doesn't have a lot of reviews on YouTube and has a really bad return policy. Another half star deduction for the return policy. Just realized if you use a 10% or more discount, then you can't return it at all.
I recently purchased the CF3 Control Red paddle from the Standout online store and to be shipped to Malaysia. Purchase was done on Tuesday last week which is exactly 7 days from today. Initially I was told that the shipping usually takes 3-5 days. However there was a delay because this seller didn’t have the color i ordered. Hence it was redirected to Hong Kong to arrange the shipment. Till today there is visibility of the tracking number. Last I was inform that I’ll be provided with a tracking number on Monday (yesterday) not received. And the biggest disappointed is that even the customer service is ignoring my emails and Instagram messages regarding the shipment status and tracking number. Dear standout crew, I was so looking forward to trying my new paddle. But honestly it’s been a turn off.
Super disappointing. (Order number #1974)
Nice and easy to use!
Just ordered a 2nd CF3 16 Control paddle. A far superior paddle for both control and power over the Six Zero Double Black Diamond. So happy I made the switch!
We had a postal strike in Canada and the folks at Standout went above and beyond to get me my paddle before Xmas by other means. They are always super responsive in getting back to you when you request information and all service is first class.
But where they really shine is with their products. The CF3 16 is the best all court paddle out there. I just got the CF3 16 Control after playing with the original CF3 16 for a year. What amazing touch and way enough power when you need it. So many balls go back to my opponents’ feet with seemingly no effort. I came from Six Zero DBD, Joola, Selkirk, Legacy and more. No paddle matches the Standout for touch, sweet spot and power.
*the original (now called the Power) is also amazing but the extra power in exchange for less control doesn’t warrant the choice if you are less than 4.5 IMO. I did also purchase a CF3 16 Power for singles play however.
