With so many modifications are the paddles still approved for tournament play?
I purchased my vatic pro prism V7 16mm two years ago and have used it ever since. I recently purchased the v sol pro 16mm and have loved it so far. My wife has always used 6.0 paddles which I’m sure everyone knows comes at a much higher price than the vatic pros. However I am able to hang and compete against people with I guess you could say higher quality paddles such as 6.0. I am not knocking 6.0 what so ever I have used them many times and love the way they play but I still stick with vatic pros!
I need to know what plays exactly like the quantum r3 but has a larger sweet spot
My Luzz Cannon lasted just under 3 months before core crushing. I loved playing with it but was hoping it would last longer.
