Got a Black Maxx in the mystery box. Good deal. Have used a few times and I can say “I like this paddle”. Getting used to the power, like the spin.

How this works
Where these paddles come fromDemo units are pulled from our promo rotation, athlete testing and content shoots. Real paddles that have seen real play, not factory seconds or rejects. Same carbon face, same core, same construction, just with a story behind them.
Cleaned before it shipsEvery demo unit is sanitized and inspected by our team, then packed with a free replacement grip so you can make it yours before the first match.
What cosmetic wear meansScuffs on the edge guard, marks on the face, the odd scratch. Performance is intact but it will not look showroom fresh. If you want new, take the sealed option.
USA Pickleball approvedWhichever model turns up, every paddle in our lineup is cleared for sanctioned tournament play.

HOW IT WORKS
Three steps, one surprise
No tiers, no odds published, no fine print about what qualifies. One paddle, picked at random.
01 Pick your condition
Demo at $49.97 is a lightly used paddle with a free replacement grip in the box. Sealed at $79.97 is brand new in original packaging. Same random model either way.
02 We pull one and check it
Every demo unit gets sanitized and inspected before it goes out. If it does not play right, it does not ship.
03 You find out when it lands
Could be an Air, a Pro, a Max or an Ultra. Retail on those runs from $99.97 to $249.97. You will not know which until you open the box.

I received the ultra freedom edition !!! It is a great paddle !!! I’m so thankful to CPX for the beautiful red white and bluehigh quality paddle. The feel and control is beyond belief !!!!!
I got the max paddle and it is such an upgrade over the air. Could not recommend the mystery paddle box more!
My paddle came quickly and looks brand new! Even included a cover! Extremely happy with the paddle and the value of this deal!
Awesome Paddle!!!
Haven't used it. Purchased the Hyper + prior recieving mystery box paddle. However. I am really enjoying getting acclimated with the Hyper+. Very nice thus far.
Looks brand new!
Not much of a mystery though, cause you can clearly see the box is for cpx Air paddle. love the paddle by the way!
Got Cpx max .. playingfor 2weeks.... so far good ...I'm intermediate player was using other branded paddles till now.. cpx is also good as other good brands
I paid $80 for a random paddle and it gave me $160 paddle just double the amount I paid im so hype!
I’m new to the game and the 49 dollar price was GREAT I will definitely purchase another racket when I get better and learn more about the game For now the air the the racket for me
Great paddle
Thanks. Good picks.
Mystery box is tight
Grandson saw, grabbed, played and I haven’t been able to get it back. He loves it.
I'm IN LOVE with my new paddle. So this is my 2nd time ordering a mystery paddle. The first one was one of their $100 paddles which I really liked a lot but took some getting used to coming from beginners paddles. This time, I received the pink limited edition paddle and OMG what a difference it makes!! I feel like I went up by .5 in skill level my first day using it lol 10/10 recommend
I was not sure what I would get and ended up with a "AIR" paddle, brand new. It is very light and i really like it.
Game changer
I am extremely excited to try out the paddle. Being a new player and not wanting to spend a ton of money on a paddle that was unsure about the mystery paddle is a great way to get a quality paddle. I am planning on ordering another mystery paddle to see what I get. Posdibly even ordering one of the special drops just because i was so happy with how this one arrived
love them! thank you!
Im so happy with my mystery box paddle, although I will say. I ordered two mystery boxes about a week apart. They were the same paddle. Then 2 friends also bought mystery boxes...also same exact paddle. We all felt a little defeated as it doesn't seem like a mystery. It seemed like getting rid of old stock. Quality is great. But we were all hoping for a variety since they shouldve been a mystery.
We love the paddle. It was a great surprise. Love everything about it.
Thank you. Just what I wanted
Love it! It’s got a great pop sound and it is very accurate. Love the pink!
got the air and max and think it may of been new. My wife loves the air and the max is great.
Love my new paddle.
Thank you so much !!!!! I received the ultra freedom edition!!!! It plays so great !!!!! My budget is pretty limited and I am playing with top notch paddle. I almost cried when I opened the box.
Very happy with my mystery paddle. Such a fun idea!
Great paddle!
Just took it out of the package moments ago, playing tomorrow morning! I expected A slightly used one and instead I got one new in the box! Many thanks!
Great paddle and light weight!
Tnnx muxh i love your paddles!!!! Great!
I had purchased a cheap racquet while deciding if I wanted to continue playing pickleball. Then upgraded to this racquet and I LOVE it!! Made such a difference while I played. Great investment. Very happy with my purchase.
They give me new brand new!
Great quality paddle for a great price. Elbow doesn’t hurt now!

Great paddle!! I received a brand new Air complete with the cover. It’s my first CPX but definitely won’t be the last!!
Beautiful racquet… very impressed.

QUESTIONS
Before you roll the dice
Can I choose which paddle I get?
No. That is the whole idea. You choose demo or sealed, and we choose the model. If you want a specific paddle, buy that paddle.
What is the difference between demo and sealed?
Demo units at $49.97 are lightly used or opened, pulled from our promo rotation, athlete testing and content shoots. They are sanitized, inspected, and ship with a free replacement grip. Sealed units at $79.97 are brand new in original packaging. Both are a random model.
How used is a demo unit?
Cosmetic wear is likely. Scuffs on the edge guard, marks on the face, the occasional scratch. Performance is intact, and anything that does not play right does not ship. Demo units may not include original packaging.
What could I actually get?
An Air, Pro, Max or Ultra, in whatever colourway came off the shelf. Those retail between $99.97 and $249.97. The Hyper+ is not in the rotation.
Is it worth it?
735 people have reviewed it at 4.3 stars, and their reviews are on this page including the disappointed ones. Most got a paddle worth more than they paid. Some got a model they would not have picked. That is what a gamble is.
How fast does it ship?
Same day from our Chicago warehouse on business days, with free shipping. Most US orders land one to two business days later.

WORST CASE
You end up with a real paddle
Not a factory second, not a knockoff. A CPX paddle that our own team or athletes were swinging, cleaned up and sent out for a fraction of retail. The only thing you are gambling on is which one.
