The length didn't really make a difference, and the paddle is long rather than squared, which lessens the time of contact on the face.

the paddle feels natural to me, but pickleball is very new to me. I have used other players paddles, but not this one. I read reviews and decided on this one. When I received it, looking at it, I thought that maybe I had bitten off more that I could handle, because this paddle is very narrow. After playing with it, I know I've made a good choice for me. I didn't have any more mis-hits with it, than I had with other paddles. This paddle has a lot of power when hit in the sweet spot. Most the other players have several paddles. The first one they bought when they first started and then they bought a more expensive paddle. I feel confident that this paddle is the only paddle that I'm going to need. I've also bought a Head Racquettball glove in matching colors. The glove just feels natural to me from playing Racquettball for many years.p
The grip is fantastic, I sweat a lot and even with my hand saturated with sweat, along with light rain the other day, my grip did not slip once during our three hour Pickleball session.
The extra length is unbelievable. I am reaching many shots that I had been just missing or hitting the rim of the paddle.
I do not mind loosing the one inch in width for I hit most shots in the middle of the paddle.
I noticed there is tremendous pop towards the logo portion of the paddle and less towards the handle. There is an advantage using the lower portion for soft shots like dinking and the upper portion for ground strokes and smashing.
The rim band is flat and close to the paddle face unlike some of the others paddles having the rim band be thick and pointed.
I’d do like the design and logo.
Did I mention that I love this paddle? If it could talk I might take it to bed with me.
