The Lineup:

11SIX24 Jellybean: A fantastic control option that uses triple-layered surface technology to offer a massive sweet spot and great forgiveness.

Luzz Glider: A hybrid-shaped paddle designed for quickness at the net and a soft touch, making it a “reset machine” for defensive play.

Luzz Cannon: A powerhouse of a paddle that delivers explosive pop and elite spin rates for players who like to stay aggressive. A better version of the Joola Pro 4 with more spin and a smaller price tag.

EPP Turbo: A Bread and Butter Loco dialed down to make things easier to use and lighter on the wallet.

Outstanding!
Yay, getting the MPP turbo soon. Going to see how it plays compare to my Ronbus Quanta R1. 😎
Your daughter is adorable! I just got the Ronbus R4 and played with it today. Played great. Not too much power, had great pop, and control was good. I didn’t want to get into dinking matches too much as it was so light and mobile that I wanted to attack like crazy. I have 4g at throat to 7 and 4 with a 109 SW and 6.6ish TW. Thanks! I would add the Friday Aura, but that might be a little above $100 . That Pakle Infinity might be one to look at too for under $100.
