After using this paddle a few months it feels great. The placement and 3rd shot drops amazing as well as cross court dinking. I added some extra weight to my liking very pleased. The only draw back I have experienced is you don’t have the slam put away you might have with other paddles but you have great control and placement including one hand ATP control. I would recommend the paddle now I know why it is the “Flag Ship” of the paddletek line.
