This paddle is a game-changer! I have demo both versions several times, and as have my playing partners. The shot-making improvement we all experienced is exceptional. I cannot recommend this paddle highly enough.
Note, the sweet spot is higher on the face, which suit my game and I believe that of many high-intermediate to advanced players.
Was able to demo the paddle this week, it has great power and manoeuvrability - was really fun to play with. SOLID!!
