Excellent paddle!

Great paddle with excellent control and plenty of power. Build quality is also great and lightweight. I ordered the smaller grip option and this paddle weighs 7.7-7.8 oz. This paddle is quiet, very unique.

Sculpt shots.

For comparison, I play with the 6.0 Ruby as well and really enjoy it. At first, the play felt almost identical. No learning curve. Both control, both high spin. As the paddle warmed up though it felt like I could push and pull the ball with a different level of control. It was paddle “feel” even more than “control.” I heard one reviewer call it “dwell time” on the paddle and that perfectly described the feeling. The paddle cups the ball so it’s almost like throwing it in the direction you want. I was also able to tighten the arc over the net with some aggressive top spin. I’m not saying that I’m ditching my Ruby, but for singles matches especially, this will be what I grab first. (I have the Invikta, but Epic seems to automatically populate when I hit the review button)
