Engage pursuit pro1 elongated 12.7mm — Pros: Lightweight, good power, and the extra handle length helps for a two-handed backhand. Has a good sweet spot. I really like Engage paddles! — Cons: I come from a tennis background and prefer a handle more like a tennis handle. Not as much feel to it as my 16mm engage paddle. Pros outweigh cons by a lot!
I Feel The Power! — Pros: -Super Powerful, overheads and counters feel like they aren't coming back over after I hit them.
-My serves and drives have a ton of pace to them. I am able to generate good spin on it at well with the carbon fiber face.
-Handle Length is good, especially for my two handed backhand
-The touch it had surprised me, I personally was able to control my shots around the net better than I thought I would be able to.
-Clean looking paddle with the graphics! — Cons: -Handle thickness, the paddle I have has a bulky handle, which is fine for me but it could cause issues for a player with smaller hands
-Touch, if you are lower level paddle, I would suggest drilling with this 14mm paddle to hone in the touch shots. If you can do that, this paddle is perfect!
-The curved head can cause issues if you aren't used to it. If you are used to a more box shaped end, there might be an adjustment period to get used to.
