Got to 3.75 a few months ago and got a new gen 4 foam paddle I loved and delaminated it in two months. A paddle guy from our indoor place confirmed it. Pretty popular and well loved paddle too.

Got the warrantied one, which felt worse than my old one, and I hated it but played with it anyways, and I can feel it delaminating and losing its pop consistency already (I think this one was already partially delaminated when I got it though). It’s been a month.

For hard hitters around 4.0 that have rallies with crazy wrecked drives, hard hitting hands battles, and that play fairly often, how long are your paddles lasting?

New paddles every two to three months is insane to me and just unsustainable.
