FAQ

  • What’s the difference between all the Alecto’s? The Alecto3 Red is a Gen3 Kevlar for power. the Alecto Blue is a Gen2 Kevlar for control. the Alecto Green is Gen2 Kevlar/carbon fiber weave and is in the middle. All are hybrid shape.
  • How should I keep my Alecto clean? While surface dust that eventually collects on the Alecto will not significantly affect gameplay, you can always use either water or a Pickleball Cleaner spray (like this one) to wipe away aesthetic dust and ball particles from your paddle. We do NOT recommend traditional carbon fiber paddle erasers as they may force particles on the surface from causing extra abrasion and potentially damaging the kevlar fibers.
  • Why is it called "Alecto"? We're glad you asked! Alecto is one of the three Furies in Greek mythology, generally associated with vengeance. She's also a winged and unrelenting sister, along with Tisiphone and Megaera. So get out there and punish your opponents popups with a vengeance!
  • What is your return policy? We're confident you'll love your paddle and will take back within the return window, no questions asked - read more about our return policy here. If you're not sure if this paddle is right for you, we strongly encourage you to try out our demo program instead of making a purchase, since we charge a restocking fee to return used paddles as we cannot sell them as new.
  • Does my paddle have a warranty? Of course! We have an industry standard six month warranty against manufacturer defects - read more about it here.

Nice paddle and excellent customer service

This paddle is nice upgrade from the Vatic Pro Prism Flash that I was using. The transition didn’t take very long and it’s much more capable. There was an issue with my order. I contacted customer service and less than 10 minutes they got back to me and fully resolved the issue. Excellent customer service, that’s how you keep customers.

Alecto Blue - what a superb control paddle!

Definitely the deal of the century, the Alecto Blue for under $70. For giggles and grins I got one off Amazon thoroughly expecting to return it after giving it a hit. NO WAY!!! This paddle is a solid control paddle. Enough power and pop to satisfy this 4.0+ player. I am astounded at how good this paddle is.

Get this paddle. Now.

Great paddle! Good power AND control!

I had originally tried the Alecto3 and was a bit overwhelmed by it's poppy nature. Try as I might I couldn't learn to control it. I decided to give the Alecto - Blue (full Kevlar face) a try and boy am I glad I did! This paddle still has good power but, the control is off the charts! My dinking and 3rd shot drops are MUCH more consistent with this than the 3. I'm not sure what the price will be when folks read this review but, currently at around $70 this is a STEAL! It easily plays as well as any paddle costing twice as much. THANK YOU Pickln for a great paddle at a great price!

Excellent paddle

I was looking for a bit more power with the control of my Selkirk Vanguard control. And for me your Alecto Blue is a perfect fit. And at an extremely reasonable price. The groups I play with have noticed a difference in my game with an uptick of power. Looking forward to sharing your passion with my Pickle Ball community.
