Amazing Paddle — Pros: The spin you can create on this paddle is no joke. I was able to put tons of top spins on the ball without losing control over it. The grip length is perfect for someone that switch over from tennis. Although one of the two paddles I ordered came with a broken handle, it's a great paddle with good durability overall. — Cons: One of the two paddles I ordered came broken towards the end. But this could be a factory defects that was not caught before shipping out.

It's the Gold Standard to Measure all Paddles — Pros: I got a chance to play with this paddle for a night of mixed match play. I was using the 16mm version. I can see why so many people love it. The weight is fine. I found I could get to lots of shots in the volley area. What sets this paddle apart from the rest is the touch. You can place shots pretty easily. If you're a beginner that is progressing nicely - this should be your go to paddle as you develop your game. — Cons: I really can't think of any. I wish it was a bit cheaper but then again, priced at $99 it's a value. Recently the 16mm has been in high demand and sold out. I haven't tried the 13mm but I suspect it's good as well.
