I actually think this paddle is improving my game. I seem to make a lot more backhand shots successfully. And my friend told me yesterday that she thinks my serve is faster and lower. The paddle is very lightweight which I like. Thanks!

Love it. A great paddle for the money. Highly recommend it for someone that’s just starting to play or doesn’t wanna pay a lot for a battle. Great power and quite a bit of control.

Obsidian Paddle
I like the feel of the paddle and have played with it for two weeks. I am learning what the paddle can do for my game and best to use the power and spin.

Love this paddle. The fit, the feel, length, control. I am hitting the low balls more consistently and feel like I have more control than I had with any of my other paddles.
