First Impressions of the Aspen Kerns paddle.

The MaxGrit surface is one of the grittiest textures we have seen on a paddle currently. Should be great for spins and slices.

A lighter weight paddle and a more head light balance makes this paddle light in the handle and perfect for net play as well as quick reaction shots. Not as powerfull as the Ben Johns model but more control because of the lighter weight/balance.
