“Very fun to use. I don't have tennis elbow or wrist problems but it's really.fun and easy to use. I do get lots of spin on it being a former tennis player. I'm still figuring out my power shots but top spin is definitely there. I'm a 4.5 player.for reference.”
“The Falcon Elite Ergo paddle feels natural. I think that’s the best way to describe my first experience with it. I was surprised at how comfortable the grip felt, as if I had been using it for a good while. I expected some hiccups as I adjusted to the novel shape, and there were some, but on the whole my shots were crisper and more directional than I expected.
I’m excited to continue using it, especially to see whether it will ease the hand and arm pain I’ve been experiencing for months since starting the game of pickleball. I’m hoping that the more fluid motion the paddle seems to enable will dissipate that stress.
*Update*
Now that I've used the paddle for three weeks my expectations were realized. My hand, arm, and shoulder pain are gone, and for this reason alone I would continue with the paddle. Other aspects of my game have benefited. I have more control with some of my backhand shots, my slam is more powerful, and some of my serves loop right to the baseline. The rest of my game remains unchanged, although I see potential for creative shot-making and improvement with drops as I spend more time using the paddle.
In sum, it's an ingenious design well worth the purchase, especially with an industry-leading lifetime warranty that includes replacing the paddle for normal wear and tear. It matches the conventional paddle that I still think is top-notch but now serves as a spare.”
