Great Paddle
I like the slightly higher weight. Large sweet spot and good grip on the paddle face.

Great paddle and great service from desert paddles. Paddle was backordered but their communication was excellent throughout the the process.

Total Control
I have both the Power Pro and Power models. Each has its own purpose. On windy days, here in Florida the Power model rifles through the wind because it's very fast...on dormant days, the Power Pro model allows for complete control around the kitchen.

A step up.
Age 65- 3.5 level. Considered a power player by peers. Upgraded from legacy that hung in there for 1.5 yrs. Three days a week. Finally, after enough frustration bangs on the floor the edge cracked. After One week of play comparing with my retired Legacy.
J2TI+. Legacy
Cost. Within $5 $150
TW Better than. 7.1 vs 6.6
SW. Less than. 115 vs 120
Power & Pop Similar less effort required
Control. Soft feel for shaping and dinks
Dwell. Definitely noticable
Appearance : After 5 days of actual play no issues.
Can't wait to get the hang of the potential.
Desesrt Paddles went above and beyond with their customer service. Originally i ordered the wrong color grips. Was abke to contact them and get them to change the color without any issues. Highly recommend
