Is the Pursuit V2 worth $79.99?
Yes. At $79.99 it sits in the low price range, and it blends precision, power and spin in a paddle made in the USA. For a newer player, it is a solid first step into better equipment.

How does the Pursuit V2 play?
Power is medium and spin is high, with a hybrid shape that balances reach and sweet spot. The 15mm Gen 1 core is lively, so the pop takes some getting used to, and the 111 swing weight sits in the middle of the range.
What are the strengths and trade-offs of the Pursuit V2?
Its biggest edge is a blend of power and spin at a very low price. The main cost is lively pop that takes adjusting to.
