    Pickle's take

    Who it's for

    Best for intermediate players (3.5-4.5) looking for a balanced upgrade who play with a balanced two-handed/one-handed mix. The widebody profile gives you a generous sweet spot, the 14mm core balances pop and control, and the raw textured carbon face holds spin on rolls and resets.
