Fantastic Paddle

As a spin-heavy former tennis player coming from a Diadem 18k edge I expected to gain more power but was less optimistic I would see more spin. I see a lot more pop on my volleys and I am also seeing more spin on my drives and serve, creating a much more challenging and consistent shot. I also really enjoy the grip. At the net my hand sits nicely between the butt and the notch and I can slide the butt into my hand on drives to feel like I can really whip it without losing confidence in my grip. I still may add tape to help shore up off center volleys a bit but otherwise i'm very happy.

The quality of the paddle is excellent !
Although I’ve only played with it for a few hours, my first impressions are positive so far. It hits similarly to the Proton Series 4 with a very solid feel on ground strokes. Dinks are controlled & it’s very maneuverable during hands battle. The surface has texture which definitely helps with spin.

Paddle-icious

I made up a new word after upgrading from a Ben Johns Hyperion gen 2 paddle.
1. Effortless spin
2. Accuracy. I wondered how accuracy would manifest itself with this paddle. I think it’s the consistent feel of the paddle over the whole surface. The Joola’s sweet spot was pretty small for me. It had more pop so in the week I’ve been playing with it, I’m still trying to dial in my out balls.
3. Made in the USA. I love that I can a quality product and support our nation’s economy. I love that each paddle has been QA’d by a passionate player.
4. I love the handle. It seems to get grippier with sweat. The oval shape is comfortable and I still have feedback on my grip position
5. Nothing but paddle. I don’t need a cover. I want all the cost to go into the paddle.

After a week, the word is paddle-icious!

The Gold Standard

Have played a couple of times with the Twill and the spin is off the charts! Had a couple of opponents comment on the spin after completely missing the ball on my return. Ball also pops off the face with little effort without sacrificing any control. I'm a 3.0 at best and I don't play in tournaments. Spin, control, forgiveness, weight balance all in one - the best way I can sum up this paddle by calling it The Total Package. Or as Muhammad Ali once said.."floats like a butterfly but stings like a bee".

The face is great! Lots of control. Great spin added a new serve to me repertoire.
