I came from a Grasp and Ascent 16mm Red which are edgeless and elongated paddles to me. I got this widebody because my friend tells me I am good at defense and recommends me to get a widebody paddle. It comes with paddle cover and overgrip tape. I was missing grip tape from my package which somehow got abused so the customer service sent me overgrip tape. So, their customer service is top notch. I liked how it has a bigger sweet spot in case the balls may hit off center. The handle size makes it easier to do hands battle when you are the kitchen. This paddle is good for kitchen play whether you are volleying or dinking. This paddle is certainly capable for resets and dropshots since this is more like a control paddle. The weight of this paddle is balanced. The paddle quality seems good with a lot of grit. The widebody can lack reach at certain times but I will get used it since I came from elongated paddles. The grip length may not be perfect for everyone since it's a bit on the smaller side. I did wish it would be the same grip length as the hybrid one for everyone to use. If you want widebody but needed a longer grip length, I would get the hybrid paddle option. Hybrid paddles are in middle between elongated and wide body. Elongated paddles are usually good on offense, reach, and two hand back hands from my experience.
TL;DR for Widebody Review:
Pros of Widebody: Good at defense and control (hands battle, kitchen, resets, dropshots), forgiveness, and good price
Cons: Lack reach in certain situations (small issue I can deal with overtime), small grip length (not suitable for some people with large hands), and unknown reliability (first new widebody model)
This company has good customer service and I would buy their paddles again.
It's a really good paddle. Has high grit and very good quality. Really enjoyed playing! Paddle has very good control and reset!
If you like longer handle choose elongated version!
And delivery was faster than expected!
I recommend!
Good
