Good allrounder paddle Mike Intermediate
Pros: good weight distribution great grit fast at the net
Cons: sweet spot is on the smaller side
Selkirk labs 008 16mm Rick Sturgis Intermediate
Pros: I purchased a used paddle so the price dampened my lack of new paddle excitement.
Cons: I have only played about 3 hours with the paddle. The sweet spot seems smaller than I expected. I was also disappointed that the “pop” I expected from the paddle was just not anything different then what I had experienced with my .19mm Diadem Warrior paddle.
