Our take
Top-of-scale spin and genuine pop from a brand that doesn't take itself too seriously. Rips, dips, and body shots — this paddle wants to fight.
- Best forSpin gremlins and aggressive doubles players.
- The catchLively enough to throw flyers until you tame it, and there are dead-ish zones near the throat and edges that the very best hybrids don't have.
