Pros:
Spin
Controllable yet powerful enough all court paddle
Feel
Cons:
Sweetspot is smaller than I like and so soft game isn't where I'd like it to be
If the sweetspot improves -then I'll likely main that paddle
I’d been searching for a paddle that really fit my game; something with a slightly longer handle, good feel at the kitchen, and solid spin. This one checked all the boxes he control and feedback are exactly what I was looking for. Super excited to use it in my first tournament!
Excellent paddle for the price. Head heavy but balanced it with weights at the throat and a hesacore grip. The spin is amazing! Would definitely buy it again!
Great spin and soft touch around the kitchen. Paddle has almost no dead spots making off center shots effortless. Really happy with my purchase
I've played with this paddle for 2 months and I have to say, this is the best paddle I've ever played with. I think it's the best all-court, slightly leaning power, paddle I've used compared to other all-court paddles. The spin and grit on this paddle is spectacular and it has enough power for me to still put away balls. This paddle isn't that poppy but that's perfect for my resets and soft game. Best all court paddle!
Impressive "pop" off this paddle. Once I became accustomed to the power this paddle is amazing. Even on off shots, I'm impressed!
Great spin and control. Would like it to have a little more power although it's adequate for my game.
Starting off to say I also regularly play with my Gen 2 J2k, and both the 11six24 Vapor and Pegasus body shapes from the Power line. The Unmarked is a very different paddle from those 3 due to the grit but also the larger 10 mm poly cores. I thought I’d be losing out sweet spot and stability, especially coming from my other 3 paddles to my first elongated, but I was pleasantly on court. The swing weight and static weight are both lighter than I expected, maybe just my model, and I was able to weight it up a little bit with 6” of .5 gram tungsten from the 4 and 8 positions down to the throat. Also put some 1.5 gram tungsten around the bottom of the handle to help counter weight the head heaviness I read about and I honestly think the paddle performs really well. It still needs time to break in. Only played 4 hours or so with it but I am impressed so far!
This paddle is perfect for me, so much control yet poppy. I have been looking for this. Perfect all court paddle !
I’ve had the paddle two weeks now, probably played with it six or seven of those days. As much as I have enjoyed the spin factor, and the pop and power the paddle brings, I’m most concerned with the wear on the sweet spot; It’s all gray and I can see the honeycomb pattern through the carbon already. Makes me wonder how long the surface will last?🤔
This paddle can really do it all. If you are looking for a paddle that has the "most" something of any particular characteristic: power, pop, stability, control, speed, etc., there are probably better options for you. But if you are looking a paddle that can do everything well, buy this immediately. I absolutely love that I can just play whatever type of game I want with this paddle without having to think about it. Has been my main ever since I got it.
Got a great price after using discount code ALPHA10.
This paddle will be my main until it breaks. It does everything good while having top tier spin.
The Mark UnMarked Alpha does it all. First off all, it has insane grit. It has been my main for about 6 weeks and the grit has held up strong. For the first two sessions, I had a little bit of problem controlling my third shot drops and drinks. After that, either the paddle broke in or I did. Either way, it's all good now. I can generate great power and spin. My serves are a weapon when I'm using the UnMarked Alpha! I highly recommend that you give this paddle a fair shake. Don't give up on it too fast. It will become your friend pretty soon.
This paddle (unMARKed) WONDERFUL. Feel is amazing and I have more than enough power to drive at a high level. Oh, yeah spin and grit on this thing is top tier! Nice job MARK PB.
I am very pleased with this paddle. The balance of spin, power and resets are amazing. Highly recommended
I had to purchase a second UNMARKED ALPHA paddle because my wife kept taking mine to play with her girlfriends. It’s the Goldilocks of paddles everything is just the right amount (Power, Spin, Control). I definitely have less errors and more consistency. I hardly ever write reviews but figured this deserved my time!
Received paddle several days ago and performed like a champ. The grit is insane and my spins are better than ever.
Wow! The UnMarked Alpha has a very nice feel to it, not super rigid but not super soft either. You can feel the ball come off the face, and the power coupled with the control of the paddle is unmatched.
Counters with this paddle are the best they’ve ever been, and hitting drives and volleys with pace is a breeze.
I recommend this paddle if you want to improve your game. I got a good discount using code ALPHA10.
I love this paddle. A pickleball friend who knew my top spin play style told me that his friend just won a paddle at a company raffle and it had very gritty paddle faces. It was March 28, 2025 and the paddle was approved on March 26. I asked him to have take a few hits and I was sold on it. I immediately ordered it and having been playing with for about a month. So far, I love it. My hybrid drives are and top spin lobs are even more unpredictable. Most of the times, my opponents thought the lobs went out but they actually landed well inside the court. I hope the paddle will last a while. If it does, I'll be playing with the unMarked Alpha exclusively.
All-around paddle. Gives me a lot of spin for its price. Thank you for this gem
The paddle is good looking. It has an amazing spin and power balance that I look for in a paddle. I'm a 4.5, 64 year old who likes to drive people back and fool them with a spinning drop and this paddle has it all. Hopefully it will provide these qualities for a long time.
Absolute joy to play with. Stays in the bag and is played daily.
