HAVIK 2

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredible Paddle for the Price! The Havik 2 is every bit as good as the JOOLA Perseus Pro IV! In my experience, it delivers noticeably more spin and effortless power, all at a fraction of the price. Outstanding performance and incredible value. You won’t regret buying this paddle! 🔥🏓

Playing this, per the recommendation, with the 'as shipped' setup for ~ 2weeks now...and loving it. This paddle is everything it claims to be be: light, solid, fast, powerful, controllable...lots of winners right off the production line. For me, I will be adding a bit of weight for stability & enhanced sweet spot, simply 'cuz I'm not skilled enough to meet the ball at the center of the paddle consistently. I also find that there is a learning curve with respect to the shape, coming from a traditional elongated paddle...the cut corners take a minute to get used to. That said, once the adjustment was made, I feel like this improves my skills as I am now clearer focused on center paddle contact. Looking forward to what's next from this quality company.

So far I like it a lot. Great pop on it. Spin is great. I'm able to control my serve better than ever. It doesn't have quite as much control around the net as I was hoping, but adding some weights definitley helped and it's just getting broken in. The additional grip that was included was very helpful. I have no scientific data for this, but I feel like I swing this much faster and get better speed and power into my smashes than I do with my Boomstick. I didn't go 5 star because the handle is a little shorter than I like. My hand, which is not very big, takes up the entire thing. I also feel like I'm still getting used to the size. It's a bit smaller overall than my Boomstick and I do feel like I'm hitting edges just a little bit more. Overall, it's really a great paddle for the price. Hopefully it holds up well. Time will tell. But if you like the look and are looking for a nice blend of power and control, you could do much worse than the Havik.
