Gamma 505 Pickleball Paddle

Before I purchased this paddle, I did my research on paddles and demoed it along with others at a local tennis store. I chose this paddle to demo as it mentioned it was good paddle for a 2 handed backhand which I use sometimes. I have been using the Onix Wide Body Z5 for 8 or more yrs. (at least 3 of them) which worked great. I probably have been playing for about 12 yrs.; I started with a wooden paddle, then chose the Champion paddle, then Stryker Graphite, then the Onix Z5. When I first started playing there were not that many paddles to choose from, now there are so many. I like how the 505 is so quiet with each shot, you do not have to use as much power when you hit, it is easy to finesse drop shots and so much easier to use spin. As the handle is a little longer, it helps with my 2 handed backhand. The handle is also cushioned which is very comfortable. I wish this paddle would have been around 10-12 yrs ago. I am so happy with it.
