CoreStrike 45 (16mm)-Great surface friction, comfort grip / by James B loach
This paddle has a fantastic rough surface which really maximizes putting spin on the ball. Hopefully the Kevlar surface maintains that friction for longer than 3 months. There was a dramatic difference in my screwball serve and backspin. This paddle is a bit shorter and wider than my current paddle, which seemed to work well in the games I've played with the new paddle. The grip has the raised spiral for grip control and I found to be very comfortable. If you like to play the spin game, this paddle would be a great fit for you. Even if you're not taking advantage of the spin, I found a very generous sweet spot giving consistent pop while still being able to switch to a dink by loosening my grip. Overall, this is a great paddle. I'm glad it comes with the case to protect this investment.
