Gearbox GX5 Power 7.8oz Carbon Fiber Pickleball Paddle - 3-15/16in Green Paddle for Competitive Play & Outdoor Recreation

I am a 3.0-3.5 (ish) player coming from a tennis background. I got the green one after demoing the other colors and this ones my favorite. This thing is quick at the net, enough control for consistent dinks, easily takes pace off the ball & has great access to power for a lighter paddle. Can easily & accurately put balls away without putting much effort into the hit.Bonus for tennis players, this grip is super comfortable - you can feel the bevels much better than some other paddles.This may be completely wrong... but it feels to me this paddle has better wind resistance than the other more traditional paddles.My suggestion: pay $20 and demo a few different paddles from Gearbox. There was a noticeable difference between the power & control models in both weights.
