Our Review:

This all-court paddle has a slight power bias, but its exceptional forgiveness is what sets it apart. It’s as forgiving as many widebody shape paddles while still offering the extended reach of a semi-elongated hybrid shape—a unique combination that delivers the best of both worlds.

Then the rest of the paddle was done well too. It has good spin and is a medium weight that doesn’t feel clunky to move though it’s not a lightweight paddle if you’re looking for extra maneuverability. The one downside to the paddle is that it has a stiffer feel that takes some getting used to but once you do it feels very complete. This is an excellent option for players looking for an offensive edge but still want something approachable and forgiving.

Then on top of all that it’s a very reasonable price which makes it even more attractive.
