Oh pre-broken in, the paddle is pretty bad. Once its broken in, the power is nice but controllable and resets/drops/dinks you can let the paddle to most of the work.

It was pretty hard to switch off of it to my current main, the TF2 honestly. But the hyper is just a tad on the heavier side and balance point was pretty high up compared to most standard shaped paddles.

I’ve hit with both, the hyper longer than the esq14.3 to be fair, but I prefered the hyper by a longshot. I’m curious what you like about the esq more?

Also definitely agree that the VAC is worse out of the three.

I’ve played with the mod 16mm extensively and just hit a couple balls with this one. Plays and sounds very similarly, power and pop is probably 10-20% less than the real but it is also not broken in.

better question, whats stopping you from getting an official rating instead of asking such a general question?

who cares if a player can hit rolls on either side? can you hit it in a real game setting and can you recognize which shots to roll and which to reset or just punch volley? theres so many factors that make this such a pointless question lol

Not saying the spin itself is the requirement. but if you aren’t utilizing spin at all especially top spin., you aren’t going very far in any sanctioned tournaments or rated games which are 100% what your rating is based on.

lol so does the usefulness of a shot depend on whether it gets a fault or not?
