This paddle is a control paddle, not a power paddle like some of the others I have. So, I went through my normal set of tests.
- Net play = very solid yet soft touch for dinking. Quite nice.
- Ground strokes – Not a blaster paddle, but strong enough. A bit more on that later.
- Serves – Because it is a control paddle, I was able to get more lift and more topspin on my serves, landing them deep and having them jump off the surface. Great paddle for serving.
- Spin – What I like about this paddle is that I can impart more topspin on my ground strokes even though they might not be as powerful as the strokes with my other paddles. Personally, I like driving the ball deep with spin and this paddle provides that capability.
- Two-handed backhand – the elongated handle makes it easy to hit a two-hander.
All in all, this is a great paddle at a reasonable price. It is suitable for all levels of player.
