Wednesday night crew was electric. Six games, lots of third-shot reps, and I finally stopped trying to win every point from the baseline. 😅

For anyone who asked: here’s the paddle I’ve been using after two weeks of open play. Quick hands at the kitchen without giving up too much pop.

A game I’m building
Working on patience at the kitchen and more consistent third-shot drops. Always happy to get a competitive doubles run together.

I play competitive doubles whenever I can, love the strategy at the kitchen, and am always working on a cleaner third-shot drop. Happy to meet reliable players for a good run.

Two weeks into the Vortex Control and I’m really liking it for resets. Curious what everyone else is using for a touch-first paddle.
