Olympus

After six months of heavy play, their Olympus is starting to lose spin; they love it but are looking at newer-tech paddles.

“my Olympus Spartus is starting to lose spin after heavy play for the past six months.”

Their Olympus failed after about 6 months, just past warranty.

“after about 6 months (after warranty of course). my o”

Two Olympus paddles core-crushed within two months.

“They are complete trash. I've gone through TWO that core crushed obviously within two months.”

Had to warranty three Olympus paddles (edge guards, cracks) before switching away.

“I had to warranty 3 olympuses before ultimately switching to a vapor power.”

Bought it first, then preferred a Shogun; the Olympus pops balls up more and costs them control despite its finishing power.

“The Olympus has more put a way power to finish rallies, but for me the control loss is why I hate it.”

After one session, the ball pops off the Olympus before they can shape it.

“I just got the olympus and feel the same way after playing with it once. The ball pops off mid swing while I’m trying to shape it.”

Loves how the Olympus plays, but the core crushed after two months.

“The core in my paddle just recently crushed, and I am working with u/gospartus suport team for a warranty replacement. Love the paddle - it plays amazingly.”

Loves the Olympus; much more power than their previous Apollo and now their go-to.

“I love this paddle! I had the Spartus Apollo before this and the power behind the Olympus is far better.”

The Olympus has noticeably more power than the Apollo but has dead spots above the sweet spot.

“The power is so noticeable vs the the Apollo I switched from. There are dead spots.”

Their first power paddle; the Olympus improved their hand battles and drives feel effortless.

“The Olympus is my first power paddle and 14mm. I feel like it compliments my game very well. My kitchen hand battles have gotten so much better.”

Loved the Olympus for six weeks at 6-8 hours a week, then it seemed to lose pop and power on drives and counters, with drives flying oddly; suspects delamination.

“Recently the paddle seems to have lost its pop and power when doing drives or counters. I've started having to use alot more power when countering, and drives have been flying weird.”

Has used the Olympus since release and finds it phenomenal; the first one lost power and was exchanged.

“I’ve been using the Olympus since it was released and it’s been phenomenal. My first one lost power after a few months so I got it exchanged and the new one is great.”

Six weeks in and overall loving the Olympus after a Neonic Flare and Prism Flash, but finds anything off the sweet spot pretty dead.

“But I do notice that anything off the sweet spot is pretty dead.”

A 4.25 player who returned it over a tiny sweet spot and inconsistent power, and was charged a restocking fee.

“The one I got sucks! Tiny sweet spot with a huge drop-off in power. Inconsistent and can't play reliably with it. 4.25 player here.”

Two months in with no issues; control has improved and it resets well from the baseline and transition zone.

“No issues with mine, I love my Olympus and I’ve had it for two months! Control has come easier actually and I love how it resets shots at the baseline or transition zone. Super fun paddle.”

Has used the Olympus as their gamer for two months of practice and games; the face shows some wear and slight grit loss but they wouldn't trade it for any paddle.

“while the face is showing some signs of wear and slight loss of grit, I wouldn’t trade it for any paddle on the market.”

Loves their Olympus but the handle has a noticeable bulge on one side.

“I love my Olympus, but because of how my handle is, I have a very clear back and front side”

Finds the Olympus handle blocky and odd-shaped.

“Does anybody else find the Olympus’ handle to be kinda bad? It feels kinda blocky and just odd shaped”

A month in, still gets surprised by unexpected bounces off the Olympus sweet spot.

“I've been playing with the Olympus for about a month and pretty well adjusted to it by now, but I still get surprised by an unexpected bounce”

Two weeks into the Olympus after using an Apollo and Vatic Flash paddles, struggles with consistent soft resets because of the pop, though the power is there.

“been playing with the Spartus Olympus for the last 2 weeks and really struggling with consistent soft resets. This is the first paddle I've bought that feels a bit of a struggle cause of the pop.”

Three weeks in after coming from a Volair M2F; adjusted with tungsten tape and now finds it ideal for putaways and counters.

“I have an aggressive playstyle so my M2F wasn’t great for strong putaways or counters, but the Olympus is perfect for that because it provides such good control and access to power when needed!”

Absolutely loves the Olympus: a ton of control for an obvious power paddle.

“Absolutely love the paddle. The best way I would describe it is "a ton of control for what is very obviously a power paddle".”

After a month, finds the Olympus has good feel and as much control as any paddle.

“I’ve been using it for a month and I’m really not sure why people are saying that it has no feel.”
