I never thought I could justify spending this much on a Paddle, but, its a retirement treat and I am very pleased with it after 2 weeks of use. I like the feel of the grip, the more rounded handle feels comfortable in my hand. The power and pop are great, spin is good. There's a saying in Golf "let the club do the work", I am starting to see that the "Paddle can do the work" and I don't need to swing as hard at the ball.
