I started with the Pro 16mm had it for a couple weeks.....great control but not much of an improvement in Power from my double black diamond..... got the Pro 14 mm and loved it. Excellent control, swing weight was a vast improvement and my hand speed improve tremendously. But still wanted more power and faster shots.... My issue was I am a 3.5 and play many games with 4.0 and above..... My control shots that were great with under 3.5 but needed more punch to get past the higher skilled players but I did not want to loose the control. So when I saw the Aero Matalic I thought I would try it. More power but too poppy for me and lost my control edge. Read some reviews on the Aero Kevlar 16 MM same spec. as my Pro so thought I'd give it a try..... Found my paddle my hand speed, control shots remained in tack but had that punch that I needed to get the ball past the faster, younger, and more skilled players. Also everyone marvels at the spin this paddle provides, with little or no effort ,
and to be honest surprises me sometimes because I did not intend to spin the ball. :-) Another benefit I can interchange the Pro and the Kevlar paddle and not have to make major changed in my hand grip or swing speed. Both are dynamite in a kitchen fight .,....
