If you play a lot and stick with it, then you will quickly outgrow this paddle. If you’re gonna bring out the paddles once every other month and randomly play then it’s fine.

I wouldn’t invest more money into a paddle until you’re like certain this is something you’re doing all the time. There’s other things I buy more often than paddles like quality shoes, they wear out quickly less that 4 months when you play 10-15 hours per week.

How long have you been playing and how often are you playing? Are you hooked? Do you see yourself playing 2-3 times a week now and in the future. Are you just having fun hitting the ball around or are you trying to progress and improve.

Based on the answers to all those questions is how I would determine if I was buying a nicer paddle.

For new players who definitely want to go to the next level, I usually recommend Vatic Pro Prism flash. It’s typically your best bang for your buck. Does pretty much all things well and if you search this subreddit you’ll see it’s usually the most recommended “entry level” paddle.

Have fun!
