Awesome paddle — Pros: Spin is off the hook, pop is perfect for quicker hand speed — Cons: The delivery took longer than usual

Love this paddle! Way better than Gen3 Joola. — Pros: Great balance of control, power, and speed. I’ve lost power from my Gen 3 Joola but have saved so many shots that were always popping up or flying out. Add a slyce speed cap to improve your speed and stability. Use promo code truslyce for a discount. — Cons: Handle is too long and slows down my quick backhands. Made for two handers and that ain’t me.

I used an overgrip and at first it felt larger compared to the Icon, but I got used to it quickly and now love the feel. I asked for the lightest paddle they could find (7.75 oz) and added a 3g weigh

First of all, I don't think it's the fastest paddle out there and it also doesn't have anything particularly special about it in any way, except may
