2X 14mm

The 2X plays stiff and direct, with control that holds up well behind the pop. The unibody carbon fiber construction gives it a connected feel — you feel exactly where the ball is, which doesn't always happen with thicker paddles. Drives have real authority, but I never felt like the paddle was pushing balls past where I aimed. Quick story: I started testing the 2X and after three weeks my wife tried it once. That was the end of my time with it. So if your partner plays, hide it.
