Their primary main, the Spitfire, is unbelievably good and incredible value at $99.

“The spitfire is just so unbelievably good. Incredible value at $99”

After 60+ hours with the Spitfire they sense the grit has worn down a bit.

“I have played with a spitfire for 60+ hours. Have the sense the grit has worn down a bit.”

Gritty with great spin and holding up well; they like it despite not usually liking elongated shapes.

“Great paddle and gritty. Great spin and it holding up well with regular use. Not an elongated fan but like this one.”

Extremely gritty on first use, and the face stayed free of ball dust.

“I played with my new Spitfire last night for the first time. It is so gritty! Feels like rough sand paper.”

A month in after switching from the Ruby: noticeably more pace and topspin, especially on serves.

“I went from a ruby to this about a month ago and results have been incredible for me. Especially on serves the extra pace and topspin it generates is very noticeable.”

Bought it for fun and was blown away by how much they liked it.

“I bought a Spitfire for fun, and won an MPP Turbo in a tournament. After using them both, I was blown away at how much I liked them both.”

About a month with the Spitfire Elongated as their main: a great paddle, though the grit is already noticeably reduced.

Loves the Spitfire Elongated and plays great with it.

“I have a Spartus Spitfire elongated and love it and play great with it!”
positive

About 150 games over three months: spin was elite and better than any paddle they've had, but in the last two weeks serves started landing long; still worth it at $100 and they ordered another elongated.

Their Spitfire Elongated took a few hours to break in, despite claims it needs none.

“I’ve got the spitfire elongated and it definitely took a few hours to break in”

Their Spitfire was quite muted, making touch shots and resets hard given its fairly high pop.

“I don't know if I got a dud but my Spitfire was pretty muted.”
negativegreat pop

Really likes their Spitfire so far; long paddles with long handles feel intuitive to them.

“Really like my Spitfire so far, somehow long paddles with long handles seem to be more intuitive to me.”
positive

A 3.18 two months in who is really loving the Spitfire and plans to get the widebody too.

“Yeah I'm really loving the spitfire so I'll go for the wide body when it comes out too.”
positive

The best paddle they've played and now their main over the RPM Friction Pro: powerful when you lean into it, off-the-charts control for the power, very consistent at the kitchen.

“the Spitfire is absolutely the best paddle I have played with.”

Prefers the Spitfire over the Zen S+, and its overall feel beats the Ultré despite the Ultré's power.

“Love the power on Ultre but overall feel of Spitfire beats out Ultre”
