Since there are no other reviews right now Im going to try and put everything I can in this one, so it will be a bit long. First up I am a 4.3-4.8 dupr, depending on where I travel, and most paddles I buy are around this price range. To start out the paddle came very well packaged, with foam on all sides so shipping will probably not be an issue for anyone. It also came with an overgrip and a paddle cover, neither of them were exceptional, but its nice that it came with it. The white handle has gotten dirty after playing with it for a little bit, so if you care about looks you should probably rewrap with a darker wrap. The paddle does produce a lot of spin, and the grit has not started to come off yet, but I will update this review in a couple of months. The grit is also pretty unusual, unlike what most paddles feel like. The handle feels good, and the paddle is not significantly top heavy and seems well balanced. One of my two main complaint right now is that it lacks power, but I normally play harder than most others, and there are paddles for the same price and up that have less power. The other complaint I have is that the sweet spot is very weird, its about normal in size, but where most paddles just don't hit the ball as hard if you don't hit the sweet spot this paddle loses accuracy, which makes it pretty weird to play with. The paddle having a throat also affects play style, but that's just something to adjust to, not a complaint.
