Cheap design.

I really like the control the paddle has on the power side it has enough for me I do tend to hit the ball hard anyway. Its a good paddle hardly no dead spots to it.

Love it!!!

Let me start by saying I have fairly limited experience in Pickleball. I played Racketball extensively in my younger years but it does not translates to Pickleball as much as you might think game-wise but the pursuit for a good racket/paddle is quite similar. Additionally, I've purchased and tried 5 other paddles from different brands, some well known middle of the line or higher paddles and others very well constructed T700 or Kevlar "off-brands" paddles and I keep comming back to Friday paddles. My game is obviously not advanced (am just reaching 3.0 DUPR) and the extended sweetspot on my Friday paddle, paired with a very comfortable tennis grip has proven a must-have for me. Original paddles are very nice but I gave those to my kids (overly designed for my personal taste but they play very good too) and I purchased a Challenger Cardinal Paddle for myself...and really like it! I've yet to try a paddle that feels as good as this one, again, for my and my game which is faily more focused on control than speed. With that said, with proper technique (and a bit of luck on my end) I've been able to drive some points where I even empressed myself so it's not just a control paddle, it very much has plenty of power as well. This is not a paid review and other than the standard discounts, I didn't get anything extra to post this, just my honest review of a profuct thus far I have no compleints against. Well maybe one...the Challenger paddles being the upper class and more expensive, should come with a paddle cover...

Good quality and easy to use!
