I received my first Vapor Power and was immediately impressed with how well it performed at the kitchen. Resets and the soft game felt much more controlled compared to other paddles I’ve used. I added just 1/4 gram of weight at the buttcap along with 2 overgrips, and the result was a paddle that felt absolutely perfect in my hand.
That said, I have to be a bit critical. I ordered a second one with the intention of rotating between the two to extend their lifespan. However, after applying the same setup (2 overgrips and 1/4 gram at the buttcap), I found a 2-gram difference in weight between the two paddles. While it might not sound like much on paper, I can definitely feel it in play. The lighter one is ideal for me, but the weight discrepancy makes it difficult to use them interchangeably.
I believe 11Six24 should tighten quality control on paddle weight, especially for players who rely on consistency across their gear.
