My paddle came quickly! I ordered the Falcon Elite Ergo because of arthritis is my wrists. I have only had the paddle for two days and have played with it twice. So far so good! My backhand seems effortless and I can tell it will be improved with this paddle. My forehand seems to go in the net more. I am still getting used to it, so hopefully after a few more games, I will figure out the best angle of attack for each hit. With this paddle, my wrist stays straight with each hit, so the stress on my wrist is definitely less than with my standard paddle. I definitely recommend this paddle for anyone who needs to take the stress off their wrist. Way to go, Bird Pickleball! Thank you for designing the ergo paddle.
