%If you are looking for a reliable control paddle that helps keep your dinks and resets low, the Nox X-Treme Tempus Widebody is worth a look. The wider shape gives you a larger hitting area for everyday forgiveness, while the 16mm core absorbs vibrations for a more connected feel at the kitchen line. It pairs nicely with a patient, tactical doubles style where you want to keep the ball in play. Just keep in mind that you will have to supply your own power when trying to put balls away.
