paddle
my current paddle is the joola perseus pro iv 16mm (yep, the one that the g.o.a.t. uses). great control/power balance as my play style has evolved toward the latter. the handle is a little small, so i’ve added a hesacore carbon grip, and still love me some gamma overgrip from my tennis days. i’ve also applied a couple ounces tungsten tape near the throat for feel.
my former daily paddle is from when i picked up the sport in mid-2024, a selkirk luxx control air – “epic” shape. i chose this one after demoing numerous selkirks at the barn on a family trip. double overgrip and similar added weight config. it’s still quick with a nice feel in the kitchen.
balls
most of the local clubs use franklin x-40 balls, so that’s what we’ve typically stocked up on for drilling practice. i’ve also come to like the life time lt pro 48 quite a bit (ppa pros do, too), as it feels more stable and yields far fewer unexpected bounces than most balls i’ve tried.
