so I played yesterday with my coach and wow it is so much different to play with professional blade and rubber. WOWWWWW. the feel and touch and spin and power were so awesome. its still going to take me time to adjust since I am just a beginner really, but I loved the feel and the bounce. I cannot even express how amazed I am at the difference between a decent paddle and a pro one. I love using this thing. I am just learning how to do good loops but when they work its AMAZZZING. I looped a few killers against my coach and he was looking at me with admiration. I cant stop playing....
