BEST paddle for price.: One of the best paddles for the price range. Can no beat it, does exactly what you want it to compared to 300+ paddles out there in the market currently. 14mm, very strong power without giving up any type of control what so ever. Hits the ball wherever you want it to.

The Franklin Parris Todd C45° is a gorgeous, ultra-light spin machine that makes you feel faster and braver with your targets. For me, the power gap is too big, especially at a premium price ($229.95). Big swingers who enjoy tinkering will have fun; most others will want more punch without the extra work.

Look no further. This the paddle for you.: Pop? Yes. Control? Yes. Power? Yes. Dwell? Yes. Will this make you a 5.0? No. No amount of money can save you. Sorry.
