%If you are an intermediate player looking to dial in your control and soft game, the Speedup Cryo Elongated is worth a close look. It features a Kevlar face that helps you add plenty of spin and feel on your drops and dinks without feeling overly stiff. The generous handle length also makes it comfortable for two-handed backhands and helps generate some extra leverage on serves. While it plays with a solid, balanced swing weight right out of the box, you will need to supply your own power for put-aways.
