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”. Highly recommend!
I have only been playing pickleball for a year, but the Mark R2 is my 7th paddle. I like the new shiny toy and move on to the next. I assumed the Mark R2 would be the same, but I'm unable to pull the trigger on another paddle at this time. Everything else I have tried does not match the power and spin that I get from this paddle. My friend owns the Joola 4, and I'm not suggesting that paddle isn't a great paddle, but the Mark R2 is a much better paddle for me. Great Job!
I like the orginal a little more but this is a fast paddle in the hands! Need more time with it.
Paddle is made for those who love to whip a drive and hit insane 2 handed back hands. Plays amazing fresh and loving the spin I get on my serves now thanks to the longer handle.
This paddle is fantastic for control and power. It is the best of both worlds. Extremely maneuverable at the kitchen line and the grit is next level. Great job Mark!
The Mark One1x is definitely my favorite paddle to use. It’s very versatile and resembles the Onex and give the light weight of the Mark Slayer. Those were my two favorite paddles, so to combine them is great!
The OneXR2 is easily one of the best hybrid shaped paddle out there. The technology that is displayed in the unmarked, is on full display with effortless resets, a huge sweet spot, and enough power when you need it. The low SW allows for nasty whipping drives and hybrid drops. I especially love the extended handle allowing for easy 2hbh shots as well. If I wasn't so hooked on the Mark 02R2 I would probably be using this paddle!
The ONXR2 has become one of my favorite Mark paddles. One of the best attributes about this paddle is the quickness in hands battles. The sweet spot also feels amazing and it’s super rewarding when you hit directly in the center.
The weight set up I used for this paddles was putting 2 grams at the top two corners. This adds some extra power and put away ability while also making it more stable for defensive shots.
Love it, suitable for me, a female 3.0 player, Great all round, weight is just right, feel there's control n power.
It’s a good paddle but takes some time to get used to it. I would like to try out a different shape for me but the elongated gone is very good. A little light tho so might wanna buy some lead tape.

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 control, super light weight, always able to serve in the box with this paddle. Made pickleball fun for me after struggling with so many other paddles. Worth every penny if you love pickleball.
The Ruby as received felt good, but I felt it could be a tad better. I added about 2grams of weight at 10- and 2- o'clock, and now it feels practically perfect for swing weight, balance, and overall weight. I've played as well as I ever have with the Ruby paddle. I'll keep the Ruby as long as it lasts, which I can't see why it won't be a pretty long time. Price was fair after using referral discount (Alpha10). I highly recommend to anyone who wants to improve their game. Give it a try!
Great all-around paddle. No tape needed. Its gritty face makes it stand out from the others.
It was a rough start, who knew it took 9 day delivery when only living 1-1/2 hours away by car, but very happy with the product. A power upgrade over my 11six24, yet very good for soft as well. I am very pleased with my paddle.
Been wanting one of these for a while. Lost in mail, but they made right and rushed me a replacement. Thanks
Great spin, feels great overall, best elongated paddle out of the box I tried, I didn’t need to add weight or anything to play weel with it, and it looks cool!
Just like the original, I still own... it's a great paddle, I just don't understand and the other players that have it why they came out with an R2 to build basically the same paddle with just different graphics, it has a great sweet spot, good pop, power and spin there was slightly less gritty than the original but still very pretty more than the average paddle out there... but this model like the original one it's a little bit on the head heavy side I have countered some of that feeling by weighing the bottom of the handle and minimizing the amount of added weight added to the lower corners... it would have been great if this was a little lighter on the head or had some added internal external feature to make it different than the original one.
