    Where do I start? This paddle is cheezy and silly and inoperable. I felt bad for the sales rep trying to hawk them at our club.

    + PROS: Teaches humility to all who wield it.
    - CONS: This thing is lame!

    Great review Sophie!
    Just chiming in as a 4.5 player who’s loving the SLK Halo Control XL. This paddle’s 16mm thickness and elongated shape give me insane control during dinks and resets. The t700 carbon fiber face has a sweet feel, and the polymer core makes it super reliable. Compared to my old paddle, the CRBN 1, it lacks a bit of power and spin, but it more than makes up for it in precision. The 7.6oz weight feels perfectly balanced, though it can slow down quick hand exchanges. Overall, it’s my go-to paddle for its control and comfort!

    + PROS: I love the color scheme The XL is the best all-around extended paddle I've used My drives from deep are blazing fast
    - CONS: Wish it had more handle sizes The factory grip is a little slippery
