Agassi Champion 12mm: reviews and opinions
Aussie Pickleball Bros describes it as a light, comfortable paddle with a responsive fiberglass face that gives pop and an extended sweet spot that helps beginners. Spin is good but not class-leading, and the 12 mm core offers less control than premium paddles. The long handle suits the two-handed backhand of players coming from tennis.
