Love the Soft Touch Carrie Jeske Intermediate

Pros: I love the grip, the soft touch and the look and feel. I purchased the lightweight version and it does hurt my shoulder anyway, but I think that's my swing, not the paddle. It's perfect for the short game!

Cons: So far, so good

Best Paddle I have Played with Derek Holt Intermediate

Pros: Great balance of Power and Control. I have tried around 10 paddles before i settled on this paddle and I am so pleased with my purchase. I ordered the thin grip and use an overgrip and love the feel.

Cons: None

WOW! KG Intermediate

Pros: If you are looking for a control paddle, look no further. The standard grip is great and I feel like I can create a ton of spin with this especially on a outdoor court. It is for sure worth the extra money. A great paddle by Paddletek

Cons: Wouldn't mind it being a bit heavier but that is personal preference
