Love the paddle control. — Pros: Nice sweet large sweet spot. Has good control. — Cons: I like a smaller grip. I will change the grip. That is just my preference. I use a two handed back hand and the handle length is 1/4 inch smaller than my former paddle but I’m getting use to it.

A LOT OF POWER AND POP! — Pros: Super maneuverable paddle with lot of power and pop for the shape. Great sweet spot size due to the shape and super fast in hands battles. — Cons: The handle is very short but that is a good thing for some just be aware of that. It can be hard to control if you don't get used to the pop.
