I have used other control blades, such as the Ebenholz and Boll Spirit. However, I find that I am more consistent with this blade.

Overall, this paddle has a good performance, but it’s not top-rated.
If you are looking for a defensive paddle, this might be a good choice.
However, I recommend looking for a different paddle if you are looking for an offensive one.

This is my first ever bat.
I find it fast and also easy to control some smash shots. The rubbers I’m using are Mendo MP and 729 FX, which suit my bat speed, touch, and control.
This is a bat for all players and a must-buy.
