I didn't want to like this paddle but a friend let me borrow his for a while. I had been using control paddles up until trying this paddle and I feel like I can generate power on my own. While that's true, this paddle definitely took it to a new level. I didn't notice how much right away but after playing with it for a while I felt like I was playing very well with it and wondered how much the extra power/pop was making a difference, I went back to my old paddle for a bit and I definitely missed the extra pop and power. Shots were hitting the tape at the top of the net way more often than with the Pegasus. I knew pretty quickly that I had to go back. I am 100% all-in on this paddle now. To get this kind of power/pop in a wide body with a huge sweet spot and no negative impact that I can tell on my soft game, and at an affordable price... it's absolutely a great paddle for me. I ordered it right away and have no regrets.
