At a glance
Who it suits
One owner's report suggests the paddle may suit players who care more about pop than raw power.[3]

What the evidence says
All the evidence for this paddle comes from one owner's comment, and that comment is mixed.[3] The owner reports more pop and less power, though they add that this is only how it seems to them.[3] The same owner says that after about a month of hard rec play, the paddle was not as good as when it was new.[3] They also describe it as more mushy and soft, which the bundle records as a durability concern.[3] Pop praise and durability concerns each appear in 1 of 29 consumer items analyzed, so no other source backs up or contradicts either point.[3]
More on player fit
Players who like a firm response may not enjoy the mushy, soft feel the owner described.[3]
