Verdicts
Paddletek Tempest Pro C 16
Paddletek's control benchmark. Control 92, touch 92 and softness 88 with a 107 swing weight is the classic soft-game recipe, updated with a raw carbon face for spin 84.
Paddletek Tempest Wave V3
The reference control paddle for players who do not want the weight of a 20 mm build. Touch scores trail only the Luxx.
