What do you think of the Charm?
Foam paddles are not control paddles. I think we need to just label them “controllable power” and “max power.”
Thank you for sharing control paddles in the jungle of power paddles 😅
I bought the now much cheaper Project 008 in the 16mm Tour configuration, and after just a day of playing, I think it’s my new main, coming from a J3NF. Added 6 grams to each side to help with twist weight.
It’s basically the complete opposite of my J3NF in every respect, so my first game was very jaring, but fell in love by game 3.
Love the lack of pop and increased dwell, felt more in control then ever before, dramatically improving my dinks and resets, and even my drives and drops were easier to aim. Honestly, power is overrated and was messing up my game.
What plays close to a neonic prime flow x? I just seem to play so well with it.
