Purchased my first Mark One X from a friend used. I was very pleased with the performance so finally after 6 months of playing with my first used paddle, I bought one brand new from Mark Pickleball.

I was super pleased with my paddle right out the box, having some great games on the rec courts. After one week of play, noticed lose feeling at the handle. There was a slight crack. I was sick to my stomach because I had just given away my used paddle to a buddy and I had been training for my first tournament that was 8 days away. I emailed the folks at Mark explaining what happened and sent some pictures and they got right back to me. Perfect customer service. They said it was probably a manufacturer defect and that they would send me a brand new paddle that day(1/10/25).

I live in Hawaii and my paddle arrived on Tuesday(1/14/25). Played that same night and the paddle was just as I expected with a little more spin when new. Fast forward to Saturday the 18th and me and my partner played in a 3.5 mens division and we took gold winning first place!

Big thanks to Mark Pickleball and their team, I look forward to supporting their business

I bought the first oneX and loved the way it played. Great spin and control with the perfect amount of power and pop for me. I won my 3.5 league using it. Then I noticed it got a bit squishy on heavy ground strokes and suspected a structural failure. I let them know and they sent me a new paddle, no questions asked. I was so impressed with their response that I purchased a second paddle from them during their Black Friday sale. If you wanna stand out with an excellent paddle that everyone else on the court isn't using, this could be the one for you. I have also played the Ruby and Vatic Pro and can confidently say it is on par or better than those paddles for my game. And they stand behind their product and respond quickly if you ever have an issue. I dont write reviews very often, but I will support companies that go above expectations. This is one of those and I encourage you all to give them a try if you haven't already.

Started with the Pure 16mm and loved it. Definitely a control paddle with a lot of grit and great feel.
I would say it has similar feel to a Vatic flash with more grit and touch.

After the wave Mod TA and Ripple paddles, I needed something with more pop off the face so the 14mm pure was the upgrade for that. The 14mm surprisingly plays like a 16mm for my resets and dinks, but has that extra put away power at the net.

Overall am very happy with the quality build of Mark pickleballs paddles. This is probably the first paddle in a while that has lasted me more than 3 months with out the core crushing or edge guard coming loose. (4.9 Dupr)

More people should try these Mark paddles. Very playable power and feel. Love the way the paddle grips the ball. The Mark One is my favorite go-to paddle so I just ordered a second one, a blemish model, which btw looks perfect! Thanks a million!

My initial impression is that this paddle checks all the boxes...power, spin, control, pop, maneuverability. I am still trying to find the right perimeter weight arrangement for my game. Also, I like the comfort I get on two handed backhands with the extra long handle. However, the I am having a little trouble with consistent grip placement on my forehand. I might be unknowingly choking-up on the forehand side which shortens my reach leading to missing more overheads, extended forehand blocks, and extended forehand dinks. I have only played with it a handful of times, but overall I have really enjoyed playing with it and I will continue to calibrate.

I can't say enough, from the packaging and presentation to the power and control this paddle has, I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Not to mention it is a really sharp looking paddle!

The Kinetic has a great balance between pop, sweet spot and control. Won my first tournament 2.5 with this paddle. Good buy for the price. Considering buying the next generation!

this paddle is insanely powerful, pops so good. i am loving it. better than my Apes proline energy S. switching from energy s and this i can really tell the difference. Thanks Mark for making a quality affordable paddle!

I have played with and tried several different paddles in the past. I have always been interested in the technology and progression of the paddle design and the sport. I was searching for more of an all around paddle and wanted to try something with a carbon/kevlar face. After doing some research and trying out several different paddles, I came across the MARK brand and their new line of paddles.

I was skeptical as always when getting a new paddle, as I tend to always fall back to my old faithful paddle that I have used so many times before.

Surprisingly this experience with the Mark Two was much different. Immediately I was impressed, the feel, control and power of the paddle. Most paddles I have used in the past have more power and less control or more control and less power. The Mark Two seems to check all of the boxes and offer a great all around paddle.

I have had it now for about three weeks and still have not picked up my old paddle.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the spin you can create off the face. The spin is unreal, especially if you play with a lot of top or side spin.

If your in the market for a great all around paddle that offers newest materials and technology take a good look at Mark Pickleball Paddles. At this price point it’s a no brainer…

This is my go to paddle for tournaments! Was previously using the Ruby which was a good control paddle but the Mark one has the pop that the Ruby didn’t. Shots were so effortless. Don’t have to do much for dinks and drops either. Loving the design of the rebrand too! It’s also very gritty!

Power matches the Mark one if not greater! Drives feel unreal because they dip right to the kitchen line. A bit harder to control but 60-70% power should be plenty.

I've been trying out pickleball paddles at a rate of more than one per month since I started playing. Mostly they all seem pretty much the same, or within a very small standard deviation of each other.
Enter the Mark OneX.
First thing I noticed and appreciated- longer handle. As soon as I started using it, I was already extremely comfortable with it. It felt like "home". It comes with power and yields a lot of control. Twist weight is really good. I think the biggest statement I can make is that my search is over. I'm sticking with this paddle.

Mark One - Coming from a Legacy Pro, then a Vatic Prism Flash 16mm, it took me about 5 play sessions to get adjusted to the Mark One (I'm a 4.0 at my best). The additional spin grabbed the ball more than I was used to and the paddle was more poppy than I was used to. I shorted my swing, loosened my grip, added 14g total lead tape where I prefer along the throat and the paddle clicked for me. It is now my overall preferred paddle of any that I have tried. Feels consistent on drives and drops, even better when resetting. I feel so confident preparing to block a rocket coming for my chest, and constantly am getting remarks of "nice spin". Definitely recommend for many types of playstyles.

It's got that rare combination of being fast/light in the hands & being stable on the soft shots. Slight plushness makes it easier to control than the other power paddles in the Mark lineup, but it still has plenty of power. Loving the longer handle. In addition to being perfect for twoeys, it feels whippier and I can shape the ball wherever I want.

Most importantly, the new color scheme is sick! The entire lineup are some of the best looking paddles on the market.

Thank you Mark Pickleball. My recent upgrade to the Mark Two has been better than I had hoped. I had migrated to the Mark Kinetic after a fair amount of research. I had been using another brand’s elongated model. Performance and value of the Kinetic were at the highest level. However, I had learned pickleball on an elongated paddle and was excited to see the release of the new designs. I jumped right in and have not been disappointed with the Mark Two. We have been so happy with the performance and value that my wife also jumped in and now has the Mark One X. Performance, Power, Control, at a high value - Thank you.
