Model 515 Uni

An awesome all-around paddle that checks all the boxes. Lots of power with the spin to control it. Plays plush at the NVZ. Love it!

The sweet spot? The spin? It’s even better than what they describe! And I dearly love the handle shape and the shrink wrap grip.

I knew I was sacrificing some power when I chose this paddle but I didn’t realize how much. It’s definitely got slightly more control than my current paddle but…. The handle is too short and it’s actually not a great looking paddle. Arrived with a ding in the carbon fiber and a sticker mark, however the sticker was located (relocated) onto the handle when it arrived. If I had to guess, I’d say my paddle was slightly used upon arrival. The inner honeycomb is already showing through the paddle after the second use. The packaging was also cheap and it came with no cover. Wanted to love this paddle to support a small startup but…Are returns a thing with Thompson?

I like to spin coming off another head light gearbox 14e. I do like the small gearbox handle coming from 5 years of badminton play. I ground the nubs off the grip, cut 1/2 of foam off handle to make smaller. Great paddle!

I find this paddle to be well made and a delight to the hand. I recently played this paddle in a tournament here in Florida. I played using both my Luxx and new Uni,. The Luxx felt very hard to maneuver compared to the Uni. Uni was easy to move around and much more stable from twisting while taking on hard drives. The most noticeable attribute of this paddle in my opinion is the way the face T1100 grabs the ball, causing it to fly true with controllable spin. I am looking forward to using this paddle to its full potential in the future. Note I have only used this paddle for a week.
