I have started playing recently and have purchased a few paddles. I thought I could get used to some of the non-tennis like grip shapes, but I was wrong. I just don't like them.
What brands have tennis like grip shapes?
It looks like the list starts with:
I have a Gearbox GX6 Control that I am continuing to use, but am selling my PaddleTek Tempest Wave Pro because I just can't get used to the shape of it. I like the response off the face and the weight, but the grip is a no go.
Considering replacing it with a GX5 Control or a ProKennexOvation Speed 2. Any other recommendations on a paddle similar to the Tempest Wave but with a better shaped grip?
