This paddle is lightweight but can pack a punch. It has very good grip on the ball which helps with the accuracy in placing the ball. It also isn't overly hard, so this also helps in developing accuracy.  I have hit the ball out bounds several times on the back line, without swinging too hard.  So not hard to have too much power.  I believe that this paddle has improved my game as an advanced player. I would definitely recommend it if you are interested in finesse in placement and spin.
