Good little paddle with a great short game touch.
I like this new paddle and have had some good games with it in just the two weeks I've had it. It has a nice soft touch for your short game and can really deaden some hard fast shots coming your way. I have noticed some "dead spots" at times trying to hit a solid, deep return where it just doesn't feel all that powerful.
Overall, I recommend it as a great starter paddle for those getting into pickleball for the first time.

Terrific racket for my wife, light but versatile and easily controlled. And the price was right.
