durability issues1forgiving1

Loving their new 16mm Dynasty after customizing it with lead tape; light and well-rounded.

“Have set up my new paddle. loving it.”
positive

Very comfortable for two-handed backhands, with a sweet spot that feels like other elongated paddles; it needs less added weight than the hybrid.

“I’m using the dynasty. It might not sound like a big addition but it feels very comfortable two handed backhands.”
positiveforgiving

Apart from easily scratched edge-guard paint, no durability issues with their 16mm Dynasty; a great paddle they think consumers underrate.

“I have not had any durability issues with my C45 dynasty 16mm”
positive

The edge guard on their 16mm Dynasty came off at the top and sides after a month, and their first unit had different grit on each side.

“Here to report my 16mm dynasty has the edge guard coming off the top and sides after one month”
negativedurability issues

Bought a 16 mm C45 Dynasty at a warehouse sale and didn't like it with X-40 balls: very little power.

“didn’t like it with X-40’s because the paddle had so little power”
