Used every other day for about 4 months, selling, because I am upgrading. Paddle has scuffing around the top edges. Paddle face is like new, very gritty, so definitely has durable grit retention. The original grip has been removed. I currently have two over grip applied, both are Udrippin. (white, neon green) I added a 9 gram coin to the butt of the paddle, (really help with balancing the paddle), the coin is included. I also included a photo, of the original butt cap (it has sticky residue, from the 9g coin) The paddle cover is included. Note: for some reason the color shows up as slightly blue, but the true color is teal.
