I got the Classic cuz I loved Gamma's Compass LH. Gamma stopped producing theirs so it was a happy encounter when I came upon this model through Johnny Kew's database. The Classic feels different from the Compass in a good way and for a much more fair price! Out of the box it plays well - I found it easy for me to execute my touch play while still having enough power for a drive. My only wish is that the other models had the same 6.25 inch handle, but it's a niche desire I know!
The long handle on this paddle helps in emulating the elongated feel plus conserves maneuverability at the kitchen line. I generally prefer elongated and was originally not going to buy this paddle, but it kept catching my attention and has earned a spot in my paddle repertoire for when I want a change of pace to something faster, lighter, more forgiving.
This is a fun niche paddle for 4.0+ player due to a small hitting surface. Great all around paddle with power and soft touch for dinks. I was able to generate a lot of topspin with the carbon face. Love the presentation box, retro full paddle cover. Highly recommend for a tennis player converting to PB and looking for something different.
Probably the most stable paddle I've ever played with! The grip length is perfect; its way easier to do backhands on this vs other paddles!
The touch is good, power is sufficient. This it's extra long handle it makes two-handed backhands more comfortable. Sure it takes away some of the paddle face near the handle, but you don't want to be using that part of the paddle anyway.
