Light Fast Long Love it

I asked a guy how he liked this paddle when I was playing with him about a year ago and he said he liked it liked it and suggested I play with it a bit ? Wow! it was love instantly. I've bought an embarrassing amount of paddles in the last three years and this is my heart. I have a small long version and a light one. It's been over a year now and recently a friend hit him "too hard" with a "good shot" and it hurt him quite a bit. With that, and with the whole game, he suffered quite a bit after a year of intense play. I play almost every day. Received my second today, brand new, just out of the box and it looks just like my first. Happy about it and ready to chat on the balls and see how he behaves. Feels like it's exactly the same as the older one. I will revisit this if it differs from this one but it looks like a duplicate of my other one except the white is not mixed with the blue I got both times which is even better than it shows should wear less. all blue i guess. This is a five star paddle IMO. However, to each his own. This is the only paddle I've bought two in a row and it has also slowed down my cumbersome paddle purchases. Why break up with great love? No regret! Zero - no - no. Update note: This new paddle is just better than my old one. I think my old one has softened a bit from all my playing and "good slapping game" with partner paddles. I will try not to do hard paddle strokes with my partners anymore. However, I think I'll probably get a new one in about 9 months just to make sure I have the right paddle.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • I'll add later
