I don't know anyone actually using a paddle protector so would suggest dropping it when a paddle is purchased. Mine will never be used and will likely eventually be tossed.
P.S. I am very pleased with the paddle!
My Drago Battle Paddle is weighted nicely and has a non slip surface providing more traction. And it is made in the USA!
I’m very impressed with my new el toro paddle. It’s a bit thicker than I’m used to but I feel more control when hitting the ball and it comes at a good price.
My son is pleased with the paddle, especially if the game is close to the net. He said it’s soft (I don’t know what that means).
I bought the paddle and cover for my son.
He said it has a little different feel from his others, but he likes it, especially if he’s playing close to the net.
Love the paddle. The price point is lower then most paddles of the same quality. I would highly recommend buying this paddle.
