If you're looking for a full foam paddle that has plenty of power and pop but you don't really love the super stiff, hollow feel of a lot of Gen 4 paddles, the Mark 02R3 is the paddle for you. I love that I can absolutely rip serves and drives and still maintain control on soft shots and resets. This paddle gives plenty of quality feedback on mis-hits and offers linear power output. It's predictable. What you put into it is what you get out of it, and that's super valuable to me.

The MARK 02R3 checks all the boxes for me—power, spin, and control—wrapped in a super clean drip.

I've been in love with the original Mark 2 ever since it's come out. I didn't think it could get any better, and here we are with my new favorite paddle!

Wonderful paddle with a great balance of feel and power. Tons of spin too. Big shots are easy to shape, This is a great performer, which seems to improve with every outing. Really impressed!

Thee best foam paddle I’ve used yet. Unlike paddles like the boomstick, this paddle has a bigger sweet spot and is much easier to reset and control with just the right amount of power and pop. Now days everyone is playing with power paddles, making the balls fly over harder and faster and the make 02R3 makes resetting effortless.

The one thing I loved about MARK paddles, is their Grit! The O2R3 surprised me with how gritty it was for Kevlar.

This paddle is super sweet. It play soft at the kitchen itbut has power to finish points when it’s needed. The power is not going to blow your opponents off the court but the spin you get makes up for it. Dinks and drops are easy and counters are top tier. And with the lower swing weight, customization is still available for the player the like to add weight. I would highly recommend this paddle to players of all levels.

This paddle is one of the best I've hit lately... It has great pop and enough power to feel confident in putaways and resets. The touch is what I love in and around the kitchen; it is amazing. I did add 3 grams at 9 and 3, which opened up the already big sweet spot. Don't sleep on this one... grab it.

The Mark 02R3 is the best paddle that Mark has made to date. The core construction offers plenty of pop and power, while also allowing for tremendous control, not sacrificing one for the other whatsoever. The paddle does not have a clunky feel off the surface, but also doesn’t have a super soft, muted feel. It is right in the middle and you get good feedback while also being able to feel the ball sink in to the paddle face.
Hitting the ball outside of the sweet spot does not at all feel like the paddle is dead, and you are still able to get balls back that may not be hit dead center.
The grit on the paddle is superb and as always, lasts A LOT longer than other brands on the market, super rough, and coupled with the foam core, you can generate a ton of spin from the grit and dwell time on the paddle.

First foam paddle I've used. I've never used a foam core paddle before so didn't know what to expect. Slight learning curve for me as I got used to the paddle. Great spin feel amd power now that Im used to it. Love it and love the price. I feel like it plays better than alot of the way more expensive paddles/brands.

This is definitely a singles players dream paddle. The dwell and sweet spot on this paddle is perfect for harder drives and dipping hybrid shots. When you dial in the pop it becomes even easier. I can’t recommend this paddle enough! Higher level players will love it

Bought a second R2 paddle for my wife. Best paddles in the market

Love this paddle. Been playing the game for over 10 years and this model is my all time favorite. Great price, great power and control. I've recommended it to others who have purchased it and they feel the same. Great value and great paddle.

Solid paddle, I got the lighter version added a little weight at 3 and 9 and that made this paddle come to life… Love it

Love this paddle! The grit is amazing and the pop isn’t too overwhelming! The sweet spot is huge and really helps me shape the ball.
