For this review I will expand my research into paddle handles as well, as this made a difference for me in this particular paddle.
The Head "Gravity Tourlite" is a good paddle with excellent feel, but to me what seemed like a small "sweet spot" it does have a wider paddle surface, but the outer part of the surface was not a comfortable area with plenty of off center miss-hits for me.
This might have been less challenging if I had a had a bigger paddle handle as you can see in the below photo, paddles have different handle sizes. It is possible to order this model with the bigger handle, which might improve it's performance for players like me who enjoy a thicker handle.
I'll reserve my final judgment on this particular paddle until I try it with a thicker handle and see if it makes a difference.
