For expedited shipping, there's a 1-2 business day processing time before orders ship. Orders placed over the weekend will ship the following Tuesday. Please note that during product launches, high-volume periods, and holidays, processing and shipping times are not guaranteed and will likely be extended due to increased order volume.
What are my options for expedited shipping?
To optimize the customer experience according to individual needs, we offer expedited shipping through various carriers, selectable at checkout. Estimated shipping times, provided by carriers, are not guaranteed, and consequently, we cannot refund shipping charges if orders do not arrive within the estimated timeframe.
It's important to note that expedited shipping does not bypass the standard processing time required to ship an order. Please be aware that FedEx Express services, such as FedEx 2-day and FedEx Overnight, do not deliver on weekends or holidays.

I was very excited about my new paddle but after a few uses the texture was becoming less and less. Making it harder to do a top spin. I know you can’t really tell by the picture but you can tell by feel. I love the weight and the grip but I am not happy with wearing down of the texture.

This is the first paddle I ever bought myself. I have tried many others, but I always come back to this one after a game or two. I am a racquetball player, so I can really put power behind it and keep it in the court with control. Other paddles have waaaay too much pop, which loses the control factor for me. I highly recommend this paddle if you come from a racquetball or tennis background.

Paddle has a nice balance of power, spin, and control. And it's light; perfect for reflexive shots at net. Feels like a major upgrade to my z5.

Control is great but I needed a bit more power. Added two 4 gm clip on weights at the 2:00 and 10:00 o'clock positions and now the paddle is perfect - at least for me.
