Good balance of speed, power, and spin while having a soft feel. The one I got feels like it has a wide sweet spot and feels really fast at the kitchen line. Like that its design is minimal and that its approved for tournaments also.Has that usual 2-tone shade on the paddle face from all the peel-ply paddles. Compared to other Kevlar paddles, I would say its definitely worth the price!
As an intermediate player (I’m around 3.5) this is the perfect paddle at the perfect price point for me. This is my first high-end paddle so I did a lot of research on paddle face materials (fiberglass, carbon fiber, kevlar, and hybrids) and build types (thermoformed vs cold-pressed). Kevlar paddles seem to be the most expensive so I immediately excluded trying to find one for my first high-end paddle, until I saw this paddle. It’s the only full kevlar paddle below $150, plus it’s thermoformed… I’m still learning the game and I’m coming from a beginner paddle set, but this paddle is a huge upgrade with so much more power while being lighter at the same time. I highly recommend it to all players looking for their first upgrade from beginner set paddles!
Wow, I’m really impressed with the feel of Kevlar after giving it a try! It delivers that “plush,” soft touch for dinking that all the YouTube reviewers rave about. It feels so smooth and responsive in play! While I’m not entirely sure it outshines raw carbon fiber in performance, at this price, there’s absolutely no reason not to give it a shot! Full Kevlar paddles usually go for $180-$200+, so finding one at this price point is a total win! I highly recommend this paddle to anyone who’s curious about Kevlar but doesn’t want to break the bank!
This has become my go-to paddle. It's light, easy to control, has got some power while somehow also feeling soft, and I really like the slick minimal design. It comes with a stat card with the specs of your paddle which I think is pretty cool, but I don't think I'm at the level to really understand what the stats mean to my play.
I feel like this is definitely one of the best value paddles on the market right now. Personally I think it plays just as well as paddles I’ve hit with that are 1.5x - 2x the price. First impressions: plush feel, average power, above average spin, and very high control (probably due to its 16mm core). The paddle I got has a swing weight of 112 and it translates to a surprisingly light playing experience which is very helpful for hand speed during hand battles. With the performance to price ratio, I’d say this paddle is perfect for players that are looking to buy their first high-end paddle.It also has some nice design features. It’s the only 100% kevlar paddle that I’ve seen at this price point and it also comes with a stats card that has the swing weight and twist weight of the paddle that you received. It’s hand-written, so from the looks of it, I think they measure every paddle individually. The only other company I’ve seen that from is Thrive, but their paddles are a bit higher in price. There are a few cosmetic flaws on the paddle like the usual residue from the peel-ply surface that you see on all these high end paddles, but it doesn’t affect the play from what I’ve experienced.Overall, it’s a really good performing paddle at a good price point compared to other paddles with similar design features. We’ll see how it holds up from a performance standpoint in the next few months though.
