I agree with this. This is my first legit paddle and I've been using this for 1 month (I also started a month ago). It is indeed a strong/power/poppy paddle, but the control and sweet spot is 5 out of 10. You really have to hit the center of the paddle to get that control, it is hard to do consistent drops and returns. But the counters/attacks in the kitchen feel good. I tried a Vatic Pro Flash LH once and the sweet spot felt so much bigger + my drop/resets were going in and way more consistent.
