A lot of brands that make my favorites list is because I play with a paddle that I end up loving. I am a big fan of the spin and control of the DBD 16. That was in my rotation for several months.

I'm a big fan of the Collin Johns Scorpeus and the Hyperion CFS 16 was one of, if not the best paddle on the market for quite some time. A lot of pros use Joola and for good reason. They're good paddles.
Times are changing though. Honestly, you don't need to spend Joola prices (^$200) to get a really good paddle. See brands like SixZero or VaticPro.
