I have been playing for over a year with a Mauc 2 Forza.
I thought this would be an upgrade. I do not believe that it performs anywhere close to what the old paddle does. I love the company just not the new paddle.
There is zero learning curve if you are coming from a CTRL 2, it plays almost the same, a little more pop and power, but the difference is subtle. I'm not upset that I got it, I was due for a new one soon regardless, but the difference is mostly cosmetic, for me anyway. All of that said, I love this paddle, and would recommend it to anyone, whether this is your first Volair paddle or your 6th one like me, lol.

The surface looks and feels a little bit like the Holbrook metallic. Plays and feels like the CTRL 2 Forza. I like it !

Hate to be blunt but the paddle isn't anything special. The sweet spot is really small for a wide body and doesn't have much control. It has a little power and not enough pop. If I were to compare to the older designs the Forza is much better overall. I feel like this paddle doesn't offer much to be desired and it needs to be good at something like power, pop, control...which it kinda falls short on all three.
The cross weave carbon fiber is so good! Lots of spin~ At first it was hard to control the pop, but it got better over time. Def recommend this paddle!
