4.0 player here. I can't pinpoint exactly what it is about this racket that I love, but it just feels good compared to some of the of the other performance paddles that I've used. Highly recommend.

I've used a handful of different paddles now, and there hasn't been one that exceeds my aesthetic preference and holds high performance value like OutWest does.
I chose the Marine Layer, and it's like the Mona Lisa paddle among all the other paddles in the queue.
The grip has held up well, which is great b/c I play weekly and it is sooo humid this summer.
Shocked that I've only seen (1) other person using an OutWest paddle. These east-coasters don't know what they're missing!
Well worth the purchase. Thanks OutWest team!

Great paddle for a reasonable price! Design is so fun. Would recommend!

Have a Bantam EXL paddle…and works great. But saw the cool design of this paddle and thought to myself: I want to own this.

Now played 10 games a very, very impressed with how it handles—and huge compliments on the design.

So far…I love this paddle.

Great paddle easy to maneuver crisp sound and allows for precise placements also people love the design
