    5 month review

    The paddle has been pretty good. Had to throw on some extra weight because I was swinging the thing so hard the ball would sail. Since putting weight on it has been great, feels like it lost a little bit of some power but it’s works out. Make sure to put edge tape on around the whole paddle before you even step on the court because the edges can chip from just hitting the ball. I play 3-4 times a week for 4 hours at a time so I have definitely put this paddle to the test. Overall, highly recommend this paddle for a 3.5 to 4.0 player.
