The Vapor Jelly Bean paddle has been perfect for my kid as a beginner. It’s lightweight, easy to control, she's adjusting her swings. What I like most is that it doesn’t feel “cheap” — you can tell the build quality is solid, and I can easily see this paddle carrying her well into the intermediate stage.
Highly recommend for new players who want something reliable and long-lasting.
I'm a beginner, but I know enough to know this is a major upgrade from my cheap Amazon starter paddle. I really like the combination of control and pop that the Vapor Jelly Bean is adding to my game!
Love it!
Perfect paddle for players 3.0 and less.
I like the paddle quite a bit. However, I am a bit concerned on how quickly the face of the paddle wears down. After an hour of play, I already start to see the face start to wear down. After looking at some more reviews of the paddle, I see others indicating that they experience quite a bit of rapid wear of the paddle face. I suspect I'll need to replace the paddle within 6 months if it continues to wear this quickly.
