Manta Tornado F5 Pickleball Paddle

Pros:-Good weight-Comfy grip-More durable than the last edgeless paddle I triedCons:-poor light "touch"-uneven pop (edges are much more dead than the center)I really wanted to like this paddle, but I've gone back to my Polypro Tracer. I felt the Tornado had no "finesse", often causing my soft dink shots to come up short. It was also very uneven in how well the ball "popped" off the surface. Anywhere off of the sweet spot just felt dead. It's fine for smashing and hard shots, but that's not often where pickleball is won. I'm past Amazon's return window, so I'll keep it in my bag, but unless I need to loan it out, it's probably going to stay there...

I've only played with it twice but it does the trick. Not to heavy and not too light. Good grip. Price was right too as compared to some of the other paddles. Good paddle for people just starting out in the game.
