This is a great paddle for players who prefer to play a patient style and rely on resets and moving dinks around to win points. We felt like we would rarely miss a third-shot drop or reset in the transition zone with this paddle, but it still provided good pop in hands battles and enough putaway power to end a point when there was a good opportunity.
