The Best and Most Unique Paddle in the Game Today
This is the absolute best pickleball paddle I've played with. I've tried them all: Joola, Selkirk etc. and this paddle is something unique and special. If you're a tennis player, especially, you're going to be able to carve out shots that other paddles just cant. This thing is like a knife and the feel of making contact gives you complete control. I would suggest it for someone who might be a little more advanced in their playing style. But its capable of generating top spin and back spin and is very quick at the net.

Holy cow I love this paddle!
Light swing weight is very important to me. I have been playing with a Selkirk Project 003, which has a very light swing weight. Despite being almost 3/4" longer, the actual feel of the swingweight is slightly lighter than the 003 even, I did not expect that. I drive the ball hard, my game is primarily based on driving, I don't dink much. I wouldn't have any reliable comments on this paddle with dinking, but holy cow is it good for driving. It has much more power than my 003 paddle, and just as much if not possibly slightly more control. The spin is very noticeably higher, even though I don't think the 003 is great for spin. I was considering getting a Black Ace LG 14, and have played with that paddle, and I liked it but didn't love it. I LOVE this paddle. It blows any other paddle that I have tried completely out of the water. (Granted I haven't tried a ton of paddles) It has more power than the Black Ace, it has better control than the black ace, and even though the black is also a fairly light paddle, this one is very noticeably lighter. If you want a paddle with very low "dynamic" swing weight (taking into consideration wind resistance), with plenty of power and very good control and spin, this is it. I have played with other paddles that I like, but nothing compares to this one. My only tiny, tiny gripe is that I wish the flare at the bottom of the handle were a little smaller. I still love the grip, the more I play with it, the less I care, but still wouldn't mind it being a hair smaller of a flare. The dimensions of this paddle are perfect. I like that it has a real throat hole, not like the Selkirk ones, The surface of the paddle is small, but it is the perfect dimensions when you consider trade off in weight and wind resistance vs. extra hitting area. I won't comment on sweet spot, because I just am not as good at noticing suttle differences in sweet spots as other people, or at least as much as they claim to, but I haven't noticed any issue with the sweet spot. There might be paddles with better spin on the market, I don't know, but this is in the top of the paddles that I have played with, I agree that it doesn't feel to the touch as textured as other paddles, but it still puts plenty of spin on the ball. The quality of the paddle seems top notch. the frame is just flat out good looking, and seems very high quality. Time will tell I guess.
