What is your favorite Wolfe Paddle and why?
I started playing using a Blaster, then went to a Rocket and am now using the Wolfe XL. I like the way the Wolfe XL feels in my hand and also the accuracy with which it allows me to make the shots I like to make, whether it is a dink, a lob, a slam, or just a straight out placement shot.
If you used a Wolfe paddle in a tournament, which tournament was it and how did you place?
I won my latest medal, the gold medal at the St Charles Golden Games mixed doubles using the Wolfe XL, hopefully the first of many more with Wolfe products!
