Boulder Opal 14mm

Best six-zero paddle ever! I've tried them all, and was playing with the Coral Pro when I bought the Boulder Opal. Don't get me wrong, the Coral and the Coral Pro are fantastic paddles, but I Boulder has been giving me an advantage>I didn't have in any other paddle, from resets to drives, to precision dinking, and spin. I love the sound it makes and the confidence it gives me.

Very unforgiving paddle

This is the first 6.0 paddle I'v bought and did not like! I did buy, use, and like the Black Opal. It was great for my singles game. It had the power I needed from the baseline, but a little poppy at the net. So, when the Boulder Opal came out, and was supposed to offer power with more control, I thought it be a great paddle. I do like how the paddle feels when you hit the ball in the sweet spot... it's soft, minimal vibration, powerful and satisfying. Unfortunately, hence the 3 star rating, the ball dies when hit anywhere outside the paddle's sweet spot. Very unforgiving paddle. If you can hit the sweet spot consistently, then you'll like this paddle. I'm not consistent enough to use it.

Surface is fantastic if you spin with your hits, power is great, so much so I need to correct a bit and let the paddle do more work or me than my swing. A great buy so far
