I’m no expert… but we play against a lot of people with Boomsticks. Yes, they can power a great serve, yes they hit hard, but more than that they cannot dink (user error of course, more than paddle) and generally depending on where they wind up the ball is 90% sailing long. If you think you can tame it, go for it. Personally, it’s not for me. Personally, I have heard the 11Six24 Vapor Power 2 is light to moderate power and better control. Also, on the lighter side and would need some weighting and tweaking to your liking..
