Engage Pursuit MX 6.0 Graphite vs Niupipo Explorer

My best advice for an easy transition is to get an elongated paddle shape like the Engage Pursuit MX 6.0, Diadem Warrior Edge, Selkirk Invikta or CRBN1. It will allow you to use ground strokes are more similar to your tennis strokes.

Love the elongated shape of the paddle. It hits like the Qiupipo’s Explorer. Circumference wise the handle is a little small. Prefer a larger one, like that of the Explorer’s

Returning paddle and replacing with another MX. Update - received new paddle. Played three hours and there’s grit chips already. Thought the grit was molded on the carbon face and not sprayed on

The paddle just doesn't return a ball with much force unless you grip the heck out of it and hit the ball in the dead center of the paddle. My wife bought this for me as a birthday gift, as an upgrade to the wooden paddles we started with. Those cheap paddles honestly have better energy return than this one does. If you hit the ball outside of the paddle's center, it just goes dead and rarely clears the net

He says more touch and better control at 7oz weight. The paddle arrived 2 days earlier than expected. The box was huge and the paddle was wrapped only in plastic, it arrived with a small ding in the middle, probably due to the way it was shipped.

So it remains to be seen how durable the Niupipo Explorer will be (looking at you polypro core) However out of the (glorious) box, the Nuipipo Explorer feels every bit as well-built as my Selkirk Amped Invicta. Nuipipo gave it a VERY fat grip with a good feel. Personally I prefer a thinner grip for my brachydactyly-challenged hands. But this is definitely the paddle for you big hand types

I was afraid the Lite model would not generate enough power - not to worry, the ball snaps off the face with more than adequate pace. The liter weight also makes it a quicker tool for catching hot volleys. Could not be happier with this paddle. If you are going to be playing a lot of singles I would recommend getting the standard weight

I used to have a lightweight Selkirk Epic that I replaced because I was getting elbow pain. This paddle plays as well if not better than the Epic but is a better weight for me being in the midweight range. I still added some lead tape to bring it to an even 8oz from the 7.8oz it came stock
