Get it now!: Surprisingly I was comfortable with the paddle after the first game. It has the extra pop and power I was looking for without sacrificing (too much) the soft game that I was used to with my previous control paddle. The grip feel is fantastic and the spin is exceptional. The 16 mm is a well balanced all court paddle.
CRBN2x 16mm: The paddle is amazing, great control and spin. I purchased the 14mm but it was a bit too poppy for my style of play so I contacted the company and exchanged it for a 16 mm. What a fantastic, customer oriented company this is! No issues at all with the exchange. My wife purchased a six zero paddle and tried to exchange hers too but never heard back from them. We are both now CRBN paddle users for life!
Definitely More Power: The 2X has a fair amount more “pop” and does take some getting used to compared to the CRBN 2. The 2X great for put-aways and hand battles. Dinks and resets take softer hands and shorter, more compact swings (which I’m working on…). Overall, it’s a great paddle for someone looking for a bit more power compared to the CRBN 2. I’m keeping both.
