“This is a great beginner to intermediate paddle. It took me a bit to get used to as I feel the ball doesn't come off the face of the paddle as fast as I expected, but after a couple matches I got used to it. Seems to be holding up well after being used 1-2 times a week for the past 6 year. The grip is nice, it's pretty lightweight and has a sleek look to it. Overall, I'd recommend it.”
