Its a keeper!

Its a keeper! The Nomex core delivers the immediacy I desire and yet the carbon face cools things enough so they don’t go wild.  I did throw some long shots at first but thats more like getting used to the new paddle.  My service gained potency and my dinks listened better.  Some players like a “forgiving” paddle; I prefer “responsive” so that I am rewarded or punished because I deserve it.  Surprisingly the Kratos deals out more and better spin than my Paddletek Wave Pro (graphite faced) and Selkirk Invictas (fiberglass faced).  In short the Kratos plays like some of my super premium table tennis special laminated wooden paddles with hard (dense) sponge surface.
