Tried all three new Engage paddles and kept the Alpha Pro 16, which plays very much like a Joola Perseus IV.
“I have the Alpha Pro 16. I tested the Foam and the regular Alpha.”

A fan after lots of play: consistent drops and resets, with power available but less poppy than the Boomstik.
“I have logged a lot more play with the Alpha Pro and I am a fan. I feel good with it at the kitchen and my drops and resets have been really consistent.”
Tried it: more powerful and poppier than the ProFoam.
“I recently got to try out the Alpha Pro and ProFoam. The Alpha Pro did feel more powerful and poppier.”
Their favourite of the new Engage line: a great mix of power, spin and forgiveness, better with weight at 3 and 9.
“So far, my favorite is the Alpha Pro 16mm, it’s a great combination of Power/Spin/Forgiveness for me.”
An excellent paddle once you adjust to the curved top and lower sweet spot, though pricey.
“The shape may throw you off a bit cause it’s curve top. If you get use to it it’s an excellent paddle.”
Feels great right out of the box, with no break-in period needed.
“Alpha Pro 16 feels great out of the box.”
Their current main paddle, replacing a Hurache APP.
“Engage Alpha Pro. Elongated curved is my best shape. Previous was Hurache APP.”
