Our take
Elite spin, near-elite everything else, and a durability reputation other brands envy. If you don't know what your game is yet, this fits whatever it becomes.
- Best forImprovers who want one paddle that does everything genuinely well.
- The catchA bit poppy and stiff out of the box if what you wanted was pure control — and almost everyone replaces the stock grip.
