Wow, I can't believe you're relatively nearby in Belmont, CA! Only 2 pickleball courts at Hallmark Park, right?
How is your backhand coming along? That is my best stroke that I get the most compliments on. I play with an Engage Pursuit Pro MX 6.0 with 5.75" handle, but I can still get two hands on my 5" handled Engage Encore EX 6.0.
I have a friend shopping for a 6" handle for his twoey, so I was looking for play feedback on this Connor Garnett paddle. I worry that the sweet spot and twist weight are compromised with this elongated paddle.
Right Hallmark has only two courts. But they is also Alexander Park that has two courst as well and restrooms.
My backhand is a work in progress but good enough for the current level of players I play with. Laurie took the Connor Garnett paddle away from me 😉so I have a Power Air being delivered on Tuesday. I was using a demo for a few days and while the handle is short compared to the Conner Garnett I'm able to get a decent two-handed backhand.
I feel for the price and performance when it comes to spin and power the Connor Garnett is a great value in particular to its 6" handle length. And it has reasonable control as well. I was going to get the ProXR Zane 14mm paddle when Laurie appropriated the Connor Garnett but decided I wanted to learn about the Selkirk Power Air so I went in that direction. 😊
I never consider the sweet spot and twist weight, nor head heavy versus not head heavy, when it comes to paddles. I've played with a good variety of paddles over the last 3 or 4 years off and on where my approach is every paddles has its pluses and minuses and my job is to minimize the minuses and amplify its positives.
Where do you play? Do you do singles, mixed, and / or gender doubles?
