Same here. Been playing mine for 3 weeks. Really like it. Twist weight was a bit low so I weighted it and it helped. Played a aluminum core back in 2016 and this plays nuthin like that. Spin is insane. Hoping the aluminum face protects the core on paddle clashes. Support the small guy. GBS is family owned.
would have been awesome to see you smash a bunch of overheads and see if the denting that you spoke about showed up. My assumption is the grit on the peel ply will wear out rather fast based on the harder aluminum backing plate and the lack of give when striking, but for 99$ you can buy 2.....
I have one and bang it a lot incl max power overheads. Zero denting. Been playing with it about a month. It's got good accuracy, low swing weight and very fast on the hands. But a little low on power, so you may want to add lead tape. Overall good paddle for the price.
I think aluminum is an odd choice for a core. It doesn't compress and rebound. It simply dents. I don't see this paddle getting much spin and dwell time.

Has there ever been a paddle you didn't like in a review?
