Coming from a Proton Series One Type A paddle. I have more power which aids in third shot drives plus it's been a joy doing 3rd shot drops also. I believe that means a really nice sweetspot. I have great top spin with this but I seem to still have more spin with my soft floaty serves that I put a ton of spin on with the Proton,. But the Proton is too heavy compared to the J2Ti+. I'm much better at the kitchen with the J2Ti + . It's a keeper.
