It's hard to know what to say about this paddle. The short answer is: It costs almost 300 dollars and is used by the best player in the world, of course it's good.
The longer answer is actually three questions you must ask of yourself:
1. Does this fit my play style? Unfortunately, I have no way of knowing. I bought the paddle feeling that I would grow into it, that as I improve I'll have more ball control & this paddle is designed for that.
2. How serious am I about my hobby? This is a decent chunk of change and there are many capable options on the market at more reasonable prices.
3. Does the move towards 200 & 300 dollar paddles, many of which are designed with striking power in mind, change the game in a negative way that removes its unique qualities? Do the more clever aspects of the game become muted when everyone brings a bazooka to the court?
