Seeking a New Pickleball Paddle
After two years of faithful service, the Engage Pursuit EX6 paddle of redditor dexterryu finally gave out, leaving them in a pickle (ball paddle predicament, that is). Uncertain whether to stick with the tried-and-true or venture into uncharted territory, the player turned to the subreddit for advice.

Member Cmdinh hyped up the Volair Forza Mach 2 as the king of spin, leaving a playful promise to update dexterryu on its performance. MoeTown1210 suggested the 6.0 Black Diamond Infinity based on the player’s play style, showcasing the diversity of options available.
Warranty Wonders
In the midst of paddle suggestions, user workin_harder raised a critical question: is the break covered by Engage’s lifetime warranty? Some users like D_A_I_L and anneoneamouse pointed out the possibility of a free replacement if the warranty applies, urging dexterryu to explore this avenue.
