You get the pop, better feel, and more spin potential. I think it’s a great transition to players that liked the Engage Icon line, or thinner nomex core paddles. It definitely requires some modification and more perimeter weighting (get out the lead tape). Very noticeable when volleying hard drives, as the paddle really twists on off center hits. It kind of feels like the 2nd generation nomex core paddles from Gamma, But there is one glaring issue and that is a lack of stability. Overall, the paddle does have more pop than the thicker core original Electrum models, and the spin potential seems similar. I was really looking forward to a thin core Electrum, having been a fan of the 13mm CRBN. Randy Lundy from Ventnor, NJ United States
In the future, I'll purchase paddles elsewhere and wouldn't recommend PC until they match shipping methods. Other sites ship using padding or bubble wrap in a box with UPS or FedEx. This is however the first paddle I purchased from pickleball central. This paddle allows me to do it more than anything else in my bag of paddles. I prefer to slice and add as much spin as possible.
