Good paddle for a tennis athlete: I think it is a good paddle to start pickleball for a tennis athlete. I pretty enjoy using a paddle from same brand as my tennis racquet, and I do not mind to crush someone's pickleball dream by using a not super popular paddle.
SPIN MONSTER: As a tennis player buying my first high-end paddle, I was drawn to a lot of the features this paddle offers, like its elongate shape and long handle. Wider paddles do not suit my eye, and as I get older, I like the idea of having more reach. The extremely abrasive face and overall length result in an absolute spin monster on drives and serves. The face is very stiff, so dwell time is low/short with crisp ball feel. If you like on a face with more cushion & feel for your slow/so
Tons of power!: This thing rocks. Comes with an elongated grip, power just comes naturally with this paddle. The smaller head face took some time to get used to from my previous Joola, but it’s now my go to.
