Large Sweet Spot |

I recently had the chance to play with the new Adidas RX20 pickleball paddle for a few hours. I'm a mid-level ladies' player, and here's my review. The paddle has the "traditional" dimensions of approximately 16" by 8", with a weight of approximately 8 ounces and about a 4-inch (in circumference) grip. I normally play with a lighter paddle but I enjoyed this weight because it seemed to give me more power when I wanted to smack the ball harder. The full-sized handle length (4 3/4") also helped me when I wanted to whack the ball, because I could easily use two hands to do it. That said, what I really liked most about this paddle was how the ball seemed to stick to it, and how I was able to control so many of my shots because of the softer surface. I normally try to play a "soft" game, mostly at the net, and the RX20 seemed to give me a greater level of control in placing my shots. To that end, the paddle really seemed to have a large sweet spot and I had great success particularly when playing cross-court dinks back and forth. In short, this definitely seems to be a paddle ideally suited for the "control" type of player.
