Is this paddle shape TOO elongated? Pickleball Apes Pulse E - Austin, TX

Starting a new series on paddle reviews! Traditional paddle reviews lack gameplay footage. Combining the unique trait of my channel of full gameplay videos with new paddles would be a cool take on reviews. You already know my playstyle - so we'll get to see how different paddles affect my game. Pickleball Apes was the first to respond and send over paddles. As my first review, I will be using the Pulse E since I typically like elongated shapes. Let me know in the comments which paddle I should do next and what your thoughts are on this new series!

Check out ‎⁨@BackhandDriver⁩ for letting me borrow his paddle.

About Me - "Paul Lee Pickleball"

My username, eellaup, was actually supposed to be my name backwards (paul lee). But middle school me wasn't very smart and so it's slightly mispelled. I know it's hard to remember and spell and I appreciate everyone who bears with it!

A friend got me into a pickleball by asking me to join a tournament with him since his partner bailed last minute. I borrowed his paddle and we ended up winning that tournament. This was June 22nd, 2024. That same day I went home and bought my very first paddle. From there on, it's history :)
