Are the new Chorus Supercourt X-Series paddles worth the hype? In this review, I put the EX, HX, and SX models to the test—baseline, midcourt, and kitchen. From their materials to on-court performance to the metrics and feel, I dive deep into everything you need to know. Whether you’re a control player or someone craving a bit more power and spin, these paddles might just be a fit for your game. Watch to see how they stack up against other top paddles like the Joola Perseus 3S, Fire X-Series, Bread & Butter Invader, Vatic Pro Saga Flash, Neonic Flare Prime X, 11SIX24 Alpha 1, 11SIX24 Power Paddles Vapor, Hurache-X, and Pegasus and more!
