Description
The Brick*House RETRO 65T is a fiberglass composite paddle with a natural ash wood playing surface over a polypropylene honeycomb core and is designed and balanced for agility.
The paddles construction gives the 65 a large sweet spot, lots of pop, and power to drive the ball when you want to. One of the advantages of the natural wood playing surface is that it cushions the ball strike and gives the paddle more control than just a straight fiberglass paddle.
The natural wood playing surface dampens vibration and combined with our Max-Grip finish, gives you all the traction you need for great spin without sacrificing durability.
The natural grain pattern in the wood acts like a unidirectional fabric and adds more stiffness to the paddle compared to the Retro 85 cherry.
The RETRO 65T paddle is designed for players of any level, is USAPA approved and available in a natural finish or one of 4 beautiful colours.
This is an extremely comfortable and durable paddle to play so you can not only play better but, play more.

I switched back to my Pla#ers paddle one night because it was extremely damp out and I didn’t want to ruin my Brick House paddle, I could not believe how much it seemed like I was playing with a piece of lumber. I used to love that paddle before I got my Brick House.
Thank you for your awesome customer service. Happy holidays to you and yours and all the best for 2021”

I am impressed with both its looks and I
noticed a difference in the short game. Dinking has been one of my
weaker points, though I have many, and the paddle seems to work better
for me with the dinking. Do not know why. I would rate myself as a 3
to 3.5 level player, I do not have the skill or talent to distinguish
the difference between my previous paddle or the Bad Ash with the
longer shots. The handle does feel really good with good gripping
power when needed. I am proud to use a paddle with some real wood in
its construction.
Keep up the good work’

I’ve tried most of the Canadian paddles now (Brick*House, Apex, Manta, and Combat). I like a few things about the Brick*House that make it stand out over the others:
– The wood is delightful pretty, a nice change from the goofy graphics prevalent in most of the industry.
– It is narrow in shape with a generous sweet spot, it reminds me of a table tennis paddle in some ways. I find it very easy to move quickly and prefer it for my indoor games over any other paddle.
– As the face is wearing, I’m finding that the surface is getting tackier and I’m able to generate ample amounts of spin.
– The grip shape is fantastic and leaves me feeling in control.
It also feels great to brag about having a paddle manufactured in Canada — that’s not very common and for less than twice the price of something you can get at a big box store!
I look forward to future Brick*House paddle shapes.

Couldn’t be happier. When I first got my paddle I found the grip was to large. A week later the folks at Brickhouse followed up on my paddle and I mentioned the grip. They asked me to send it back, modified the grip for me no charge, and sent it back. Now that’s service. Paddle is great too

Received my (Retro 65)paddle yesterday. Very impressed with appearance, even better than pictures. Seems to play well. Nice weight. Don’t think I will be the only one on our court with one of these for long.
