Are you using any lead? I've used mine for about 4 hours only. I'm loving it for drives but need to get the soft game under control . Will take some more time using it. Recently tried the Gen 3 Joola's for a solid month and find the Oni more enjoyable and easier to adapt to my play style. Great review!
I am not using any lead tape. I don't really struggle with the sweet spot and I feel like the plowthrough is plenty, especially coming from a 14mm Flash. I'm finding the Oni more enjoyable to play as I've forced myself to adapt to how powerful the paddle is rather than just mindlessly hitting the same strokes as before.
Honestly I got used to the power and pop and was finally getting it under control. It stopped getting hotter and my dinking was finally getting good again. But then I got an email from Vatic saying it was going to be delisted. So I went back to my old Vatic pro 14mm. Drinks and drops were a lot easier with my old paddle. I actually under hit the ball a lot expecting a lot more power. I’ve had to actually start swinging the paddle again to get power and get the ball over the net. It’s been another adjustment but after 3 days of play and one drilling session, I’m feeling good with my old Vatic pro 14mm flash.
