Tell another player what it's like

Tell us in detail what you liked and disliked about the paddle. It publishes on this paddle’s page — under your name if you have set one, and as “Anonymous Dinker” if you have not. Here are some thought starters.

Was there a break-in period? How long did it take?
What weight setup did you settle on?
Did the spin hold up over time?
What would you change about it?

At least 40 characters — about a sentence.

Any connection to the brand?

We ask because it changes how much your rating counts, exactly as it does for the reviewers we score. Most people pick the first one.
