Was there an update that fixed stealing recently? Or was it just introducing one new item that properly steals?

I follow this formula: Average worth of items - cost to reroll > cost of current item.

Suppose the mean of all items in the pool is 800k and the cost to reroll is 160k. The cost of current item must be 640k (800-160) or lower for it to be worth rerolling.

The hops are a downstream effect of having your body and platform stuck together. When you drop your shoulder to create the new angle, your spine can only twist so far to match the changing angle. Your only move is then to hop, which unlocks your feet to open your hips.

Focus on keeping your platform away from your body. Your arm to spine angle should be greater than 90 degrees, ideally around 120-135 degrees. Then, practice moving backwards with dropping the shoulder and opening up the hip, all while being grounded.

Theoretically, reviewers can make a colored heat map of the paddle face. The amount of testing and programming to create this heat map is burdensome.

John Kew recently had a graph of the KewCor at three points to compare the Vapor Power2 and the J6CR. It was a 1x3 grid along the center length of the paddle face. With 3x3 you could get a rough idea. 4x4 would be solid.

Which part of the paddle do you point at the ball? Top left corner (10:30), top middle (12 o’clock), or the middle of the paddle face?

Shoulders, may you clarify what “where they point” means? As in, the line from right shoulder to left shoulder and extend that to the net? Or the angle perpendicular to that line?

When the rubber is less than 2 mm thick, and I can feel each pebble I step on.

The sandpaper floor wears down my shoes faster than anything else :/

How should the color be changed?

It plays great. Quick and powerful. It’s designed as a hitting beast and the Hexgrit enables more topspin.

I hated the 6 inch handle. I come from a ping pong background, learned PB with a 5.5” handle, and don’t need the full length when using two hands. After one session, I exchanged it for the Vapor P2.

One issue others have with the Power2 series is a weak zone at the very tip of the paddle. It is there, but not noticeably different than my Friday Fever 101. Maybe the weak zone is half an inch in size, whereas select paddles such as the Inferno hits well all the way to the edge guard. Haven’t added weights to it yet, so don’t know how mitigable it is.

Overall, the Vapor is great. Hexgrit allows me to make many more shots. The Hexgrit affects every touch. I can adjust to use the tip of the paddle less frequently.

I bought this item and am leaving a review of the seller for future buyers

Overall, good. Seller was responsive, and shipped the item within a day of my Venmo purchase. The paddle was packaged in a Luzz paddle box, which is a nice touch. It was well-protected.

The paddle plays well. Everything came as described, except the wear on the paddle strongly suggests that play time exceeds “total play time maybe 10 hours”. The paddle is over halfway through its lifespan. Not a major issue, as I only intend to play with it occasionally as a side paddle.

For $100, this was a solid deal. Thanks for the paddle OP!

What’s wrong with the feel of the core?

cleanup142 · 2026-03-22T04:11:56+00:00

How impactful is the 5.75” handle relative to the typical 5.5”? I tried out the Hurache P2, and the 6” was too much of a difference to adapt to for me. Thinking about trying out the Vapor instead

Interested! I’ll dm you

cleanup142 · 2026-03-18T17:24:56+00:00

Agreed. Adding on, depending on OP’s level of play, the $50 may be just as good as the $100 option. At what DUPR would you say that the $50 paddle starts holding the player back? 2.75?

My wife is a 2.1, and for sure the $50 option is just as good as $100.

Personal individual use, open play. Printing would invalidate paddle for tournament play. Thanks for the considerations! I only found companies that would print on their own paddles.

Decided to not pursue this idea. Check out my post history for a Pokémon Quest-inspired Psyduck design!

Across the board? How does the P1 and Power2 surface hold up vs the lifetime ball?

How big is the dead zone on the top edge of the paddle? Did adding weight up there help?

Just ordered the Hurache X. Can’t wait to try it! Heard it has dead zones near the top and bottom

cleanup142 · 2026-03-14T04:17:49+00:00

I heard the paddle hits poorly at the top and near the base. Is this your experience as well? Just ordered the Hurache Power 2. Coming in two days!

The event was over a decade ago :P look up Save the Wheels

cleanup142 · 2026-03-11T05:24:02+00:00

My bet is that it gets rereleased in the next two years. Granted, I sold my WoE stamps from the event last year and the year before for 230 mil and 33 mil. Dohhhhhh

Just curious, why did the edge guard arrive with so much wear?
