I recently played with the Redeemed Genesis 16mm Toray T700 Raw Carbon Fiber Paddle from www.redeemedpickleball.com. My first impression was this is a pretty standard, but well-made raw carbon paddle. Surface has an appropriate amount of grit for those wanting to utilize the raw carbon texture for some extra spin.

I played a few rec games over the course of a weekend with this paddle. The Redeemed Genesis plays very similarly to both the Ronbus R3.16 and the Head Radical Tour Raw that at various times were my go-to paddles for competitive play. For those with smaller hands, the grip on this handle is listed as 4.25 and might be a good alternative for those that prefer a smaller grip.

Paddle is USA Pickleball approved, so ok to utilize as your tournament paddle if need be. All in all, this a pretty good paddle, especially at its current price point. Recommend for those looking to upgrade from graphite or composite surface.
