I am a 4.0+ player that transitioned from tennis to pickleball about 5 years ago. This fall I had an opportunity to demo a friend's TMPR Tantrum LX paddle and really liked it (Thank you Larry A!).. Fast-forward to the most recent Black Friday specials at TMPR, and I just had to order a couple of Tantrum LX's, along with the TMPR PKB bag. The price was incredibly low!
My new equipment arrived in short order, and WOW! I thought I was hitting pretty good spin before, but with the Tantrum LX, I am getting some serious RPM's on the ball! The Tantrum LX has quite a nice textured surface, so generating spin is easy. I like the paddle's balance, too (I ordered the heavyweight model), and it has plenty of inertia to generate pace when I want it, but also nice touch for dinking. The overall result is fantastic, and I am very pleased with my purchase. Thank you TMPR!
