Comfortable Grip

Happy with it. Comfortable grip. Nice size good weight

Do Not Buy

I bought this less than two weeks ago. I’ve played with it four times and the rim is completely falling off. The paddle plays nice but as soon as you play a few times falls apart. Really upsetting quality for the price.

Falling Apart

I received this paddle as a gift in March. This past summer it has been falling apart at the frame and disintegrating. While the paddle itself is strong and has helped me become a better player, the quality is not worth it. A good paddle should last longer than 5 months.

Edge Came Off

Beginner player, indoors: outside edge completely came off after 2 months play, 2-3 x per week. Senior player new to game. Manager at Dick’s thankfully told kid at counter that Monarch is a Dick’s brand so they gave full credit. Happy I did not have to attempt contact with Manufacturer as first advised.

Frame Seperated

I’ve only used this racquet for about 4 months and the frame has already separated. I wouldn’t recommend buying it!

Don't Buy This Paddle!

I've been playing with this paddle for four months and the frame is separating. Based on other reviews, Dicks probably won't do anything about it because I've owned it for more than 90 days, but I'm going to give it a try.

Frame Breaks

The frame broke within 3 months of owning this paddle. So disappointing! I brought it back to Dick's and they told me it was past 90 days so I should contact the Monarch website. And it turns out Monarch doesn't have a website, just a link to Dick's to buy and FB page. Won't buy this brand again! So disappointing!

Edge Guard Keeps Breaking

I purchased this for my sister for her birthday a year ago and the edge guard came away from the paddle and she exchanged it for the same paddle twice so far and is about to do it for a third time as the same thing keeps happening--that's four paddles in a year. She likes the paddle if it wouldn't keep breaking so this is definitely an issue with this model.

Falling Apart Way Too Quickly

I bought this at the beginning of the summer and after a few months the edge guard is loose and falling off. So frustrating. Do not buy.

Falling Apart

I have been using this paddle for a while now and it started falling apart within a few weeks, I tried to glue it back but it just was not working. I was so disapointed in the quality, especially bc I paid 90 for it.

Good Pickle Ball Paddle

I’ve been playing pickleball for a year just for fun and wanted a new paddle so my family got me the Duchess. :) It is just what I was looking for - super light weight yet thicker than my last paddle and a good price for an upgraded paddle. I’d recommend!

Do Not Buy

This is worse than my Amazon paddle. The frame broke off the paddle. Spend $20-$30 more on a different paddle or go cheaper on Amazon. This is a pretty pattern/color but a terrible paddle.

Falling Apart Already

Got this paddle for Christmas, played about 15 times and the top is separating from the edge, also has a rattle inside, like a piece of the plastic broke loose. Not what I expected from a reliable company and a $90 paddle.
