Review from Scott Hedrick, Wheeling WV (4.0)

First impressions can be really deceiving. There was nothing spectacular looking about the XJ-900, except that it appeared so wide you could rent billboard space on it. How could a paddle face that wide be stable?

As it turns out, the width of this paddle serves to provide an incredibly large sweet spot. I am, or at least I had been, completely happy with my paddle of choice, and I picked up the Topp XJ-900 just to see what it would feel like. Immediately I noticed that the grip was long–a good transition from tennis, and thin–good for smaller or female hands.
The length appealed to me, however I would likely add an overgrip to thicken it out a bit. During my warm-up routine I start out at the net drilling dink shots. The XJ-900 had a responsive touch; the ball came off the paddle easily and didn’t require over working it to achieve desired placement.
The best for last: power and stability. I was very impressed with the increased speed of my serves! They flew off this paddle and yet stayed in. I didn’t change anything about my serve initially, but as they continued to sizzle over the net, I began to experiment with placement and point of contact. It didn’t seem to matter, it was like this paddle couldn’t hit a serve out.

Overhead smash shots were where the power and remarkable sweet spot of the XJ-900 really stood out. Smashes were even more powerful than serves, and ground strokes came with strong stability. A wide hitting face, a very large sweet spot and no wobble in the paddle. It was a pleasure to use, and I’m thankful to PickleballCentral for making it available. I must have been fairly verbal during play, as a couple of other players on the court that day decided to give it swing as well.
