Verdicts
Paddletek Tempest Wave Pro
The paddle a generation of control players learned on, and still one of the quietest, most predictable graphite faces made. It will not out-hit a thermoformed paddle, but it will not surprise you either.
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.
