Good looking paddle!: [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought it as a gift. Looks very professional. Wish there were color options.

Great power: [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Surprisingly this paddle has a lot of spin and power. I thought the 14 would be more powerful but I was wrong. Great control as well. The hand speed with this paddle is great and doing flicks feels natural.

Wilson is ahead of the game.: I love my Vesper Control, everything is great about this paddle especially the handles. Don't change the handles. One thing the Wilson should change is the face is smaller than most other paddles, if they just made it a little truer (face size) to other paddles it would be perfect. True players who actually give this paddle a chance will see that Wilson is ahead of the game.

Overall excellent: The paddle design has a surface area less then the current paddles on the market help to illuminate the dead area when drinking. With that Suface area design I am able to consistently hit the sweet spot. Gives me great control & excellent top spin.

It has the feel: From Baseball, to tennis, golf and bow pickleball, I have always been a Wilson guy. This paddle has the feel and control that anybody, from beginner to all the way to the top will love. Highly recommend!

Game Changer!!: I LOVE this paddle. I struggled to find something I truly enjoy playing with for a while now so I gave this Vesper a shot and I'm honestly blown away by the power but also the control I'm getting. The grip feels amazing and the design looks cool so all in all I'd recommend this to anyone!
