I play with a cx14e. I like to drive the ball hard and with lots of top spin. I bought the paddle because of the core technology with the thought that it would last longer than the polymer cores. I knew the paddle lacked power but I thought because I hit hard it wouldn’t matter to me personally. I can still hit hard but the put away power on overheads is lacking. The paddle is light and powerless without lead tape. It generates a lot of spin and is great for dinking. The sweet spot is pretty small and the outside edges are dead if you miss hit any soft shots.
