"I tested the MC-3, expecting a solid but standard paddle, and was blown away. Beneath its straightforward design is a proprietary feature that gives it an edge. With great control, innovation, and a budget-friendly price, it earned my highest rating—5 balls!" - Drew McCartt

"Stinger MC-3. This is one of just a few elongated shaped paddles that's achieved a Twist weight over seven and that's with a gross weight of just 8.0oz. It plays incredibly stable it's notable that the select few other elongated paddles to be able to achieve that high of a Twist weight stock are either wildly heavy or much more expensive" - Dustin Fowkes

"I believe this is a well-suited paddle for “all around” play. I believe there is enough power and finesse here to be able to be competitive at all levels. The price is currently set below some of the “big players” in the space and I think there is good value here for a 16MM carbon fiber paddle." - Top Tier Pickleball
