I felt the Baddle Ballista paddle had great power. There were no dead spots in the paddle but rather a very large sweet spot. I thought the grip was a good size for the paddle and felt comfortable in my hand. What I like most about the paddle was the reach and length of the paddle. It allowed me to get balls that I would get with a normal-sized paddle. This elongated paddle also allowed me to return high volleys with ease. The rough texture on the surface of the paddle allowed me more control on ball placement and enhanced the amount of spin on my groundstrokes. The Ballista paddle is best suited for a player who is developing their power game. The graphics on the paddle were a nice bold attractive design. Thank you Pickleball Central for proving the Baddle demo paddles. It is definitely a paddle I would consider purchasing
