Highly reliable paddles that perform great in competitive settings, though they have a few minor flaws. They’re definitely among my favorites, but sometimes I’ll reach for an S-Tier paddle for extra consistency.

I wouldn't recommend these paddles for serious play. While they can function in a pinch, they miss the mark in areas that matter most to me, whether it's feel, control, or overall performance.
