The paddle I got core crushed/delaminated after 2 weeks of play. During that time, it continued to get hotter and hotter until it was uncontrollable. This is a well documented problem from many players online. Joola will only replace one paddle and will not honor a return on the replacement. Their other Gen 3 paddles were banned shortly after they sold them and now the Mod Tech paddle only lasts a few weeks. I would not recommend this paddle or Joola as a company.

Where did you put the weight on your paddle. And how much
@wesmudd7947 2 ай бұрын
@@pomper8366 I added 14 grams around the perimeter of the paddle starting just above the throat. Then I added an additional 5 grams at 3 and 9 on the sides. This is good for me. I am stronger I can handle the extra weight. I added the hesacore grip because it adds good weight to the handle and it gives me more control with my hands. That weight at the handle helps balance the paddle. It doesn’t feel heavy. This is the first time I switched to a bigger grip. I think this paddle is phenomenal! So my static weight is 9.3oz the balance point was +7 ( more Head Heavy) but the extra weight in the handle makes it feel much lighter. Every individual is different with weight. Find the heaviest paddle you can control and still have quick hands. My hands have not slowed down at all with this set up. More weight brings more power when you need it.

I have been playing with the Mod Ta 14 mm paddle for 2 weeks. I also added lead tape and have it playing at 9.3 oz. Best paddle I have played with. Control is great and the power and pop are exceptional. I added a hesacore grip with 1 overgrip to help balance out the extra weight.

@@wesmudd7947 where do you like to place your weights ?? I prefer a slimmer grip personally so I load the grip with about .8 oz of lead and use 2 overgrips on it. I really enjoy the paddle so far! I was initially doubting about switching over but I think I’m sold on fully converting to the TA-15 !

I went from the GearBox Power Pro Elongated to the Joola Magus 3. The adjustment period was super fast because the Gen3 had all the same power (slightly less), more grit/spin + a larger sweet spot. So to me, it was playing like the GearBox, but with just a larger sweet spot. The pop and the ability to control was actually easier because with the GearBox you had to hit it pretty clean in order to make it work. The GearBox didn't like miss hits. What I found mostly was that I could shape the ball a little better and I had a noticeable decrease in miss hits into the net on softer shots. I just placed an order for the Mod TA-15. I prefer the Magnus shape and shorter handle as I don't use two hands, but it looks like they are not going to make that shape. It looks like they are going to release a Magnus shape soon, but that one is not USAP approved. It is approved by the other agency.

@@CarlosThomas thanks for the comment Carlos ! The gearbox is a pretty tough beast to conquer in my opinion! I was using a Magnus as well before it was banned I really liked the pop and control I had on it! I find the TA-15 to be just a toned down version of it in a Perseus shape ! As for the new Magnus shape coming I’ve heard similar rumors about it. It will be interesting to see how things shape out between the 2 approval systems in pb !
