Our Review
The 13S has some of the best pop in the game and still maintains great power on serves, drives and overheads. This is the first paddle with a swing weight of 100 that I have played with that is able to be played without adding weight to it.
It didn’t twist in my hands and the sweet spot felt great. There are two places the paddle has drawbacks and that is the reach, and the pop can be hard to control.
With how maneuverable the paddle is, dinking feels easy and lets you dictate the pace. Where I found it harder was on fast-paced topspin dinks that sent me out wide because of the lack of reach and how fast I can pop off the face when trying to slow down a fast-paced ball.
With how often you will be the aggressor with this paddle, the reach-in-hands battles aren’t as big of a deal as I first thought because when you are initiating, you are more ready than reacting to a speedup coming at you.
The hands battle also last less time when using this paddle because of how much pop you get so you only need to stay in the battle for a few hits on average.
The spin is great and I think you can get a lot on your rolls and speed ups because of how fast you can whip the paddle at the net. Especially if you love backhand flicks then this paddle is the best for those. This paddle is for players that either are already aggressive or want to become more aggressive at the net with a super maneuverable paddle that packs a punch.
