I had come across the Mark brand last year while looking for a new paddle. I started my Mark journey with the Mark Two Kevlar/Carbon paddle. The Mark Two was an amazing paddle offering both power and control.

Now a year later, I had the opportunity for the pre-release of Unmarked Alpha.

This Unmarked Alpha is amazing! Just like its predecessor, it offers great power, while also offering outstanding control. It plays great on the short game and speed ups are more controlled.

Not to mention the surface grips well, especially if you like to play with spin and slice.

Great job Wesley and the Mark team!

I added 4 gms of tape on each side from the neck going up and another 3 gms on the bottom cap. This weight set up made it super stable and more maneuverable in the kitchen.

Coming from widebody and hybrid paddles, I was eager to see if this paddle could keep up with the speed and pace i was used to. I was pleasantly surprised after 3 games how much controllable power and finesse this gave me. Spin is unreal with good grit on the face. Paddle pockets the ball enough for drops, dinks, and resets. Full swings, kitchen battles, and flicks are slower than im used to, but thats true with all elongated paddles and was able to dial it in and adjust easily. Its no Gen 3 powerhouse but it doesnt need to be. its everything most players need and forgiving enough to get you out of trouble. Its the best elongated paddle in my collection.

I live, eat and sleep in this hoodie! It’s so comfy and roomie for snacks :)

As much as I love this paddle, I'm hoping it gets approved for tournament play!

Exceptional spin and control. Feels plush and makes drops a piece of cake. Plenty of pop to put balls away.
A little head heavy but I added a hesacore grip, which did the trick.
This easily competes with the $250+ paddles at a bargain price. Highly recommend!

The unMARKed is an amazing paddle. Great pop, control, and spin! Definitely my gamer!

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.
If you are familiar with the Mark Two, the UnMarked Alpha has the same control as that, but with added pop and additional power that matches up with the best of the best.

I’ve lost count of how many times this has been in the washer yet it still looks brand new!

The unMARKed A takes the KevlaCarbon series and supercharges it. The power the paddle is able to generate is super impressive and you’re still able to control the direction of the ball. In singles I’m able to be way more aggressive on my serve and be aggressive earlier in the points. In doubles my counters are now one of my favorite parts of game with the unMARKed A. The pop is such a game changer in Mark Pickleballs lineup.

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.
