Enhance MPP Turbo Review
Consensus score
Most $120 paddles feel like $120 paddles. The MPP Turbo does not. It has a full floating foam core, the kind of build you usually pay twice the price for, and The Kitchen calls it "arguably the best value proposition in pickleball right now." The feel is hollow and thonky. The sweet spot is big and forgiving. Reviewers say the spin is legit. This is the value pick that makes $200 paddles nervous.

The consensus verdict
Best for
Value hunters who want premium foam-core feel without spending $200 to find out. If your budget stops at $120, reviewers say this is the answer.
Not for
Players who want a stiff, crisp hit. The soft foam feel is a genuine preference split reviewers flag honestly. And anyone who needs a long durability track record from a legacy brand, because Enhance is new.
Consensus 89/100 · Excellent
Editorial coverage (The Kitchen's value assessment) plus strongly positive owner sentiment on Enhance's own storefront. Exceptional value-for-money, the distinctive hollow foam feel, and spin are the consensus strengths. The caveats: the softer feel and the brand's short durability track record.

What reviewers agree on
Strengths
- Exceptional value. Plays like 2× the price. The through-line of every review: The Kitchen calls it "arguably the best value proposition in pickleball right now," and Enhance's own tagline ("the best value in pickleball at any price") is one reviewers keep validating rather than mocking.
- Hollow, responsive foam feel. The full floating MPP foam core with EVA perimeter ring gives a soft, elastic, trampoline-like response with the deep "thonky" sound foam-core devotees chase. Smooth, lively, never harsh.
- Big, forgiving sweet spot. Internal perimeter weighting plus the EVA ring expand the sweet spot across the face. The widebody's 108–112 swing weight and high twist weight make it especially stable and easy on off-center hits.
- Serious spin. The raw T700 carbon grit face gives high dwell and bite for shaping drives, rolls, and dinks. The newer ArmorGrit version adds a durability coating over the carbon surface for longer-lasting spin performance.
- Three shapes, one price. Elongated for singles reach, hybrid for all-court balance, widebody for max forgiveness. All at the same $119.99, so the fit decision is about your game, not your budget.
Weaknesses & caveats
- Soft feel isn't for everyone. Players coming from stiff, crisp paddles sometimes describe the hollow response as muted. A genuine preference split reviewers flag honestly.
- Small brand, thinner durability data. Enhance is a young company. There simply is not the multi-year durability track record the big legacy brands have. Reviewers note this as an open question, not a known failure.
- ArmorGrit vs standard confusion. Both versions list at $119.99 and look similar. Check which version a retailer listing is actually selling before you buy.
