I've played for about a year now and have taken many lessons. Early on I bought an expensive paddle with excellent reviews. But I was getting frustrated with consistency and accuracy and took a chance getting this paddle because it promised control and accuracy over power. I've had it for less than 2 weeks and it has totally changed my game. I feel like the king of drop shots now - they're so easy and intuitive - the paddle feels like an extension of my hand. The spin created makes aggressive speed-ups that stay in-bounds so much easier. Off center hits don't twist the paddle like before. Lacks the absolute power of my other paddle, but this works to my advantage because I don't hit as many shots long and now focus on accuracy and finesse which ultimately wins more points.
