Talon X1 - Midnight

The stealth paddle

Easy to use and great for deception shots. Power is activated making drops second nature. Opponents cannot tell what is coming and what is not. Spin is effortless adding another dimension of treachery at the flick of the paddle. The points called in my favor is louder than the Talon hitting the ball. Absolutely love it.

I am in Love

The feel is so disruptive to myself. I can disembark from sound to really appreciate what my technique should be. I am a true believer. The speed…. thats nuts

Furry and fun

I used the CX for 6 months. It grew furrier over time and seemed to play better. I think the Owl facilitated my learning insofar and any errors were entirely due to me doing something wrong. On the other hand, against heavy and skillful hitters, it was a struggle to keep up and I lacked the precision and wits to hold my own. The Talon retains most the control, sacrifices some agility unless choked, and introduces a wider range of choices and outcomes. I lack all of the skill to master it but am coming along. It is capable of more decisive wins but with that, the training wheels are off and now I need to know when to back off. Am loving the process and have no doubt this is a paddle for me to grow into. Coming from table tennis for me it is the Owl or nothing. Can’t stand thwacking at balls.
