Spartus Apollo Pickleball Paddle

The paddle that I am most excited to review for Spartus is the Spartus Apollo (which is in process to ship to me). Currently this paddle is listed for a very reasonable price of $129 (with discount code 10AFFECT would bring it down another $10). This is a wide body paddle that exceeds the specifications of the SixZero Ruby in swingweight, twistweight, and spin rpm. As with the SixZero Ruby, the Spartus Ruby has a face material made with Dupont Kevlar. I will have more to come after personally reviewing this paddle. Spartus has other paddles where prices start at under $100 and even $10 less with the TENoff promo code at checkout.
