PADDLETEK IS DRIVING ME CRAZY, THEY JUST INTRODUCED THEIR NEW LIMITED EDITION US OPEN TEMPEST PRO, AND I WANT ONE. Most of you know that I am a "paddle nut." After 3 years of playing pickleball most every day, and purchasing 14 different paddles, my all time favorite paddle is the Paddletek Tempest Wave, weighing 8.3 ounces with a 4.0" circumference grip.. I now own 8 of these great ball bangers. Why do I need 8, you say? I add weight (perfectly legal Rule 2.E.4) one tenth of an ounce at a time (2.834 grams). . . . mainly to experiment with, and because I know how to do it. My eccentricity when experimenting with paddle weight has lead (NPI) to the conclusion that [for me] some paddle weights play better in the back courts, and other paddle weights play better up at the NVZ. Some paddle weights perform better outdoors on hard synthetic surface courts with outdoor balls, other weights are ideal for the indoor wood gym floors...
