Pros & Cons
Pros
The handles are still solid, and the surfaces have maintained most of their initial grittiness. Good for beginner and intermediate play. All of these paddles cost $150 or more and they are all excellent but have different specs.
This one is a definite upgrade from most of the cheapies on amazon that are sold in sets. I can vouch for this with my own personal experiences with them. Received exactly what is pictured in mx-06 set.
Onix's voyager pro is an elongated pickleball paddle with a graphite surface. For serves, particularly my vicious sidespin and screwball varieties, the explorer seems much more consistent. The voyager is now my go to paddle.
Cons
The grip and the plastic edging are faulty. This elongated version is not as consistent as that one. My explorer paddle is still intact, but my explorer pro model snapped at the handle.
The racket has a cheap feel. The paddle has a lot of vibration and impact on the elbows. I come from a tennis background and know a sweet spot when i hit it, but these virtually have zero.
Highlights
Quality
It sounds great and feels like a quality product
Overall this racket is very well made light but not too light and quick
Despite the thin 13 mm core it generates only soft ball noise
I dont believe my spin game has changed much but thats probably due more to poor stroke mechanics on my part than it is the racquet
Price
Based on the value for the price i felt the value was great
I feel that for the price this is a really nice solid paddle that will help you improve your game

I bought a high priced paddle later and my game really suffered
Shipping
Their customer service was quick to reply and sent out replacement paddles within 24 hours
They arrived quickly and in excellent condition
Reality is all paddles should be shipped like these are
Packaging/appearance
My paddle came very well packaged but it had a flimsy cover which should be a little larger as it is not easy to get the paddle... Read More
Came with a nice cover as well
Competitiveness
Read many reviews of other brands and often those complained but so far these are great
Even compared to rackets of similar weight and size i find the aerodynamic cutouts make this racket feel faster
The selkirk texture is better than these and i havent played with the selkirks enough to give this a fair comparison
Theres a lot of companies that simply lie about this but niupipo is a legit brand with a dozen or more approved paddles

The grip is on the shorter side so if you are coming from a tennis background and used to a twohanded backhand this is not the racket for you

I personally prefer grip tapes with a center ridge which the included tape doesnt have

This paddle is a bit thinner than my slk and a thinner paddle translated to more power
