Speedup Tide
Our take on the Tide
The Speedup Tide is a great option for players who want the maneuverability that a 14mm paddle provides, without sacrificing the plush feel often associated with 16mm or thicker paddles. It offers good dwell time and shot shaping ability while maintaining enough putaway power to end a point easily when you have a good opportunity.
