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!

Everyone I play with remembers the first day I used this paddle a year or so ago. I couldn't stop hugging it and kissing it. Noticed right away my serves were deeper along with my returns with no extra effort. I am a 4.25 tournament player that teaches part time. I purchased this paddle as an extra as I love it so much. What's interesting is that I have turned multiple players onto the demo program. Basically, everyone has ordered this same paddle from the demos. What's really interesting is that the ratings of these players extend from 2.5 to 3.75. Buy before they run out!!

Just started playing several months ago, switched from a beginner wide body paddle to the Tantrum LX. Same weight and grip as my beginner paddle and now being a little more experienced this paddle gives me more control and better placed shots. The grip also is a big improvement from my beginner paddle. A much improvement in my game.

I wrote a very in-depth review of this paddle on my blog. You can read it here: https://theadventurousboomer.blog/review-of-the-tmpr-tantrum-lx/
