Both as a combo with Coppa J.O. Silver, I’ve had the paddle for a long time now and am starting to use it again. It is great for getting your strokes trained, not too fast.

I used my Photino BH/FH TG05 and was amazed at how well my strokes were. (Use this blade for training; it’s ideal for it.)

The head dimension is smaller than the Butterfly standard.

  • Head is smaller than average

Nice Off-/All+ blade. Vibration-free with a large sweet spot, it plays like a carbon blade but a bit slower with better touch.

Not a fast blade, but fast enough for me to hit winners. Not a slow blade, but slow enough to return serve.
