Having played with the Fuze 14mm Elongated just gave me a automatic play upgrade. I like how it sounds different from other paddles, with its look being nice also. But the greatest benefit is that somehow even my play seems to have improved. Therefore, my confidence also improved and my entire overall game is better. Mis-hits stays in more than going out. Power hits needs less effort, dinks and drops fool opponents into thinking that its not going over but does, and slices makes the ball go deeper and lower. All in all, the Fuze is a paddle to play with. While currently I am with the 14mm, the 16mm is calling for attention to have a trial. Skill-wise, I am a 4.0+ playing USSP Nationals/Masters.
