Four hours in after a carbon Amazon paddle, the ex-tennis player gets clearly more spin from its fine-sandpaper grit, though their power hasn't gone up, which made the switch easy.
“Only used it 4 hours, but don't really have much to compare it to.”

Already a heavy paddle stock, with lead tape on the four corners their spin game improved and their serves come in faster than with their old cheap carbon paddle.
“I switched the grip to a white overgrip, and even though the paddle is a heavier stock paddle, I added 2in lead tape strips at the 4 corners.”
After one session, coming from a two-year-old Franklin Ben Johns, they love it: it feels solid and has a nice sweet spot.
“Have played once and love it. It feels solid and it definitely has a nice sweetspot.”
Since January at 8–10 hours a week, moving up from a cheap Amazon paddle, they got much more spin and control, landed drops confidently, rose from 3.0 to about 3.7 and saw no loss of pop or spin; not a power paddle.
“Immediately upon my first games with the SSP I noticed I got much more spin and control”
Despite owning pricier Selkirk and Gamma paddles they keep going back to it: really balanced and solid, well ahead of $150 paddles at its sale price.
“I’ve had the sweet spot pro for awhile. I have a few more expensive paddles from Selkirk and gamma but keep going back to it.”
