I just wanted to let you know how much playing with the Odonata has helped me. When I began playing paddle my elbow constantly hurt me. I did some research and found that your company had the technology to stop the vibration that causes the pain. I have played with the Odonata now for 5 years and still to this day love it. I'm able to play tournaments and league matches pain free. Thanks,

I take advantage of this opportunity to send my regards and those of my friend Mr. Miguel Herrera who introduced me to the El Condor paddle that you are promoting. I want to comment that I found it a great paddle - lighter than my El Vasquito wood, it allowed me better maneuverability for good returns with less efforts and less problems with my elbow. I also noticed the surface is rough and that allowed for much better slices and spins - something much more difficult with the wooden paddle. One more thing I felt was the dampening effect the paddle has on the shock of the hit.

I was amazed by the effortless power, control, and the soft feel of the Grizzly. I don't want to play any more with my old wooden Powerpaddle.....my buddies are eagerly waiting to try the Odonata also. You will probably be getting some more orders for either the Grizzly or Odonata from people in St. Augustine in the near future. I will post feedback on your website on the Odonata after I play with it a few times.

Hey clark, I played with the Platform Tennis ball today. I noticed that the ball is softer than the Viking ball. When driving the ball I felt less impact on my arm and also felt that I had more control of the ball, maybe because the softness allows the ball to compress more on impact and not just pop off. At net I also felt like I had more control of the ball when returning a hard drive. Wire play was minimally different from the Viking ball, it came off the wire a bit less than the Viking. I did notice the flocking seemed to wear less than the Viking and more uniformly. I placed a Viking ball and yours in the freezer for about 15 min. at 20 degrees, although I didn't play with them after this I did bounce the balls several times and they both appear to bounce at the same height. In all I liked the ball and felt the major difference was that the ball seemed to have less impact on my arm.

Hi, Clark;
Just a quick one to again thank you for introducing me to the Falcon Ti. I played a game with it last night and I can't get over the fact this paddle's so powerful for its light weight! Our game was with very quick players and required fast reactions and because of the Falcon Ti, I was able to "hang" and make some awesome gets, drop shots and kills. This is one great paddle-

Thanks again!

. . . Of course, I travel with my The Paddle Company paddles, and I must tell you that "The Falcon" is the best thing you've ever done. The nuances in the weight and maneuverabilty of the paddle are outstanding. It's like using a BMW with your arm. I think it's a phenomenal breakthrough in paddle design; it's light, powerful, and allows players more flexibility when using their wrists to swing. I, for one, love it. Most paddleball players are slow in changing their equipment, so don't lose hope if your orders do not come immediately. They will be there; I'm sure of it. The Falcon is just too good a paddle to pass up---we're just dealing with a conservative athletic community.

Again, thanks for your thoughtfulness.

I recently played in the Merion Cricket "member - guest" tournament (and won it!). Yep, I used the El Toro and showed it off. Two guys at the club were already playing with your paddles . . . the Odonata, if I remember correctly

Thanks,

Our balls are better according to satisfied players!

I read in the Platform Magazine that your competition can not figure out why ball sales are down...because their balls are lousy...the Paddle Company Balls are far superior to the their balls..

Subject: El Toro Paddle
Clark,

I have been using the El Toro paddle for the past several weeks in our interclub matches. The most noticeable benefit so far is my improvement in volleying, particularly against top players who drive the ball at a high rate of speed. The control I have is outstanding!

The other benefit that I have been anxious to test is the "shock absorbing" benefit of the rubber core in preventing tennis elbow. I put that to the test this past weekend in Pittsburgh. We played 6 long matches in the West Penn Platform Tennis Tournament and I experienced NO pain in my elbow - NONE! It was a noticeable and welcome improvement.

Thanks for introducing this technology to the sport of platform tennis.

Clark,

I received your paddle and paddle mitt yesterday - thanks. I played with it in our men's intraclub play this morning. It was teriffic! There was no vibration on any of the mishits and I felt like I had more control over drives due to the softer core. I will continue to use it for our interclub matches and will take it to Pittsburgh in a couple of weeks for their tournament.

Regards,

Mark Kebe

Hi Clark:

Thanks for having my new Grizzly paddle to me so quickly, used it for the first time tonight in a match and I am thoroughly pleased with it - much better control and spin off serve than with my old paddle, a Viking OZ. Also, thanks for the winter hand mitt, I'll be using that very soon!

I recently bought a new Viking paddle (the Oz 3) and the surface is already falling off in pieces. Ugh. Anyway, I play in the #1 position for my club and we play inter-club matches every week. I also typically play in a few tournaments in the area every year. I'd be more than happy to show your product around. By the way, my dad is thrilled with The Grizzly he purchased from you this year. He says its the best paddle he's ever played (and he's played for over 20 yrs!)

Thanks,

Last time I bought a paddle was three years ago, I called TPC and spoke to you. You were instrumental in guiding me to the perfect paddle for my style of playing, which was the Viper Ti Pro. This was truly a great paddle for me. But today this paddle has a huge crack and it is time to move on. Please guide me in choosing the right paddle which would be the one most similar to my old paddle.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation.

Sincerely,

James

I wanted to thank you for being a responsive and responsible company. I wrote you regarding a defective product and you were nice enough to replace it for me at no extra charge even though Ihad thrown out the receipt. I am appreciative and will deal with you again in the future.

Thanks again,

I have been using your paddles for several seasons. I would have to say that the Odonata paddle is the best I have ever used. Over half of our women's team and quite a few of our men's team are now using this paddle. It has been a great paddle for players with elbow issues.

I would recommend this paddle to anyone who would like to improve their game and avoid 'tennis elbow' In addition to a great product you have a professional staff that is both knowledgeable and helpful.

I would just like to let you know how much I like the Odonata paddle. Last year I had severe paddle elbow (also called tennis elbow) and had to wear a brace and take Advil everytime I played. This became a real problem during tournaments when I had to play four matches a day. Now that I have switched to the Odonata paddle I have no symptoms at all. I no longer have to wear a brace and I am painfree. I rave about this paddle to my friends and a few have switched with the same happy results. It's a great paddle!

Having played with both Viking and Wilson platform tennis racquets in the past, I can honestly say that the Odonata and Grizzly are far superior to any of the models I used to play with. I have been playing with these racquets for three weeks now and I haven’t had ANY elbow pain at all. My husband had taken over my Odonata and plays with it in his competitive matches and has raved about its performance. I can’t wait to have more of my friends try these racquets because I know that they will love them too.
