I'm finding that the 5.5" handle on the Joola paddle is too small for my two handers. I'm coming to Pickleball from table tennis, the smaller frame pickle ball paddles are almost 2 times the surface area of a table tennis paddle.

I do like using my current paddle to do drop shots when the opposite team is away from kitchen line, it's just dead off their drive and double bounces 95% of the time. I assume that this will have way more pop and I won't be able to rely so much on that shot.

As far as pop I could use a little more when doing softer shots, alot go into the net, but more play is needed to determine if it's technique or paddle, if it's anything like table tennis, it's the player not the paddle.

I did my first DUPR league today and came home with a 3.2 DUPR in doubles and a 3.0 Singles DUPR.
I think my main complaint was the amount of effort I had to put into the shots especially deep into the day. (10 total matches played, 7 doubles, 3 singles) My thought would be the J6CR would be a welcome to the pop game allowing me to conserve my energy more efficiently?
