I like a11n's Zenith and Carry
I have used A11n's Zenith since I got my hand on it about two years ago, and I like its balance between feel and power. and its cost-performance ratio is superb. I felt the need to add weight by putting lead tape at multiple spots around the paddle, which greatly increased the performance. I started trying to play with it when I got a Carry paddle a few months ago. In the beginning, I felt it was hard to control probably because I got used to Zenith paddle like I was not sure how hard to swing to place the shot where I wanted it to be. Later I tried to put even more weight around the paddle, somehow I felt much better to control it and certainly increased its power. Now I mainly use the Carry paddle, and its lower cost makes it even more attractive, and I highly recommend it. By the way, a11n's customer service is so friendly, helpful, and prompt, which is another reason I stick to its product. If you have any questions, just email them and you will always get help.
