Dang! LOTS of power here! Pretty much effortless for deep serves and returns - and put aways! The ball won't come back when you are INTENTIONAL with it! Be careful with the dink game. Open the face up too much and .... the ball is too high or floating. I like the paddle, however would probably lean towards the Black Ace - standard size. I like the control of the standard and prefer to swing hard for serves and returns. Would like to use both for a few days and evaluate how my elbow feels after many hours! As a 4.5 tennis player, I've had a friend or two use the Pro-Kennex racquets. It's a cool concept and players use routinely use them, swear by the technology. I'd give the rating a 4.5 if I could.
