Got it Feb 5th, that same night I used it for the first time in a pickleball league. My partner I went undefeated! Do I attribute that to this paddle? Of course not but coming from a Gearbox Pro Power Elongated, while the pop/power wasn't matched, it still provided a great pop and felt a bit more balanced. I play close to 10 hours per week so I've had ample time to adjust to the paddle and I'm impressed.
