I wrote this Bread and Butter Filth article because I love playing and writing about pickleball paddles, but there may be links to support this website, so I don’t have to put annoying ads everywhere.

Is the Bread and Butter Filth paddle a filthy paddle?

Yes, 100%, but what exactly does a filthy paddle mean?

Let’s dive right in to the look, the playability, the 15% discount code, and the paddle’s specfications.

The Look

After I had an amazing experience with Bread and Butter’s Fat Boy, so I was elated to try out the Filth paddle.

Firstly, I love the design. I appreciate darker paddles, because it doesn’t show the wear and tear of a white or lighter colored paddle. For example, I tried a paddle with a white frame, and it got a knick in one of the first times playing.

Not so with the filth.

I also love how this paddle looks like the Bread and Butter logo comes through here, with what looks like a drip of butter. It also has a sort of 3-D view which is super interesting.

The side had a standard “Bread & Butter” design. It’s clean, Iliked it.

Available in multiple color options, The Filth has a sleek, minimalist design.

The look is awesome, but let’s talk about this paddle’s playability.

Because let’s be honest, playability is what may matter the most.

The Playability

When I first used the Filth, it took me a game to get into my groove. I had just played with the Fat Boy before playing with this paddle, so it was a slight adjustment. After I made the adjustment, I was able to win 3 of the next 4 games with the Filth. It was great.

Control

I love the light weight of this paddle and the carbon fiber face. It provided the control I needed to hit my drop shots and dinks. I play more singles pickleball, so I find that I tend to make more drop shots then get in dink paddles.

Also, I appreciate how I could hit solid kill shots with this paddle.

Spin

The carbon fiber face provides an amazing spin component on this paddle. I tend to add a spin to my serve, so the Filth provided exactly what I needed.

I also like to add a spin on my backhand, and I felt that the Filth did a solid job with that as well.

Power

I have many 14mm and 16mm pickleball paddles, so I tend to fill a bit more hand speed quickness in 14mm paddles, but I still felt that the Filth paddle had a solid amount of power for a 16mm paddle.

So, the Filth had a great combination of power, spin and control.

Let’s look at the paddle specifications.

How Does Filth Measure Up To Other Bread and Butter Paddles?

I feel like if you asked me to choose between the Fay Boy or the Filth, it would be asking which of my children I love more.

It’s definitely not a question I would ever answer. Both paddles offer amazing technology and are both great for what they do.

That said, trying both of these paddles made me very excited to share my experience with the Bread & Butter Shogun paddle.

Conclusion

The Filth paddle provided the power and control that I want in a paddle, but the paddle also provides an amazing spin component.

I am excited to get out on the court and play with this paddle again.
