Great control paddle with surprising pop.
Just received my Juciao Aether and I’ve been really impressed after a few sessions. The paddle feels super solid in hand like almost no vibration at all thanks to the TFP foam. The grit is noticeably thicker than other Juciao paddles I’ve used (like the Spin 1.0), giving it excellent spin and control especially when resetting the ball.
At first, I thought it might lack power(ironic, even though its elongated), but after getting used to it (and adding a bit of weight around 2,10), it actually drives the ball really well while still being quick at the net. Perfect for players who want control and precision but still enough pop for hand battles and counter-attacks.
Overall, it’s a very balanced paddle. Great feel, top-notch build, and plays like some higher-end models out there.
