I used a DBD, SLKHalo16elongated, but this is the fave by far. It really does feel like a hybrid of a control and power paddle and both fuels my forehand while making resets easier. I find that I can focus on being smooth rather than hitting hard and still getting strong power. It does feel noticeably heavier, perhaps swing weight? But that's partially an appeal to me. I find that a heavier paddle or heavier swinging paddle does not give me tennis elbow, because the weight prevents certain hand motions. Or at least that's my theory. I ended up getting second one and one for a friend who tried mine.
