Challenger
Great paddle for great price!
Textured surface to give great spin and solid paddle for dinking and volley. I added some lead tapes to make it more stable and increase sweet spot. I got one for my son to use and he loves it as well.
Great paddle
I tried this after using the Original Friday paddle for the past year. Definitely noticed an increase in power. The handle and the feel stayed the same so it didn't take long to adjust. I really like it and think I have the best paddle amongst my friends. Even though they spend like $300 on theirs (Joola, Ruby and some other one I forget)
Smooth
This paddle is giving me more control. I already had power but now it’s under control. It feels like it is also giving me more control for sustainable dink rallies. I also like the new design with square face and slightly longer handle.
Awesome control and feel
Love the simple styling and the high performance. I wasn’t a big believer of how much the equipment matters, but once I got my Challenger I was hooked. Awesome control and feel.
Impressed
Great paddle. I’m a Selkirk paddle player. When my friend put her Selkirk down after trying out her new Friday paddle, I had to give one a try. I love it and reach for my new Friday paddle first! Two of my other friends are ordering too!
