Mypickleball's note: This is a 1st generation paddle with a plush feel and a high swingweight for power. Not thermoformed, therefore low pop and easiest to control. For more pop & spin choose Joola Perseus, Scorpeus or C2. These are a little harder to control. You need to get used to the pop, eg adjust angles to avoid pop ups. Taking the pace off a fast ball with a pop paddle is more difficult as the ball can easily go out of bounds.
