The Oxford material is very nice. Durable and waterproof. Takes abuse at other backpacks actually wouldn't. Plenty of space inside not bad at all.

Great paddle. Amazing price. I love the balance and the pop. For the price you could buy both the Alpha and Omega. I know some who have.

The sweet spot is the entire surface, very balanced with lots of power.

The Alpha really is a great paddle. I've had two days of competitive playing and it took me almost no time to get used to it. It handles excellent. It dinks well, plays down the line well, serves to where you want, AND is very powerful too. That's the tough part getting both. You will not be disappointed. Oh, it scoops up those ones at your feet with zero bounce better than any paddle I've ever played with. Either that, or I got really good overnight. Not.

I love this paddle. Few paddles I’ve tested have as much easily accessible power and pop, even fewer retain strong control for resets and dinks. The alpha is a true power paddle that doesn’t sacrifice control. Power, control, and the gnarly spin this paddles offers makes it a true weapon for all skill levels. Constructive subjective criticism: I would prefer the handle to be more of an octagon and less logo on the paddle face. My paddle weighed in at 8.4 ounces leaving little room to add weight. This wasn’t an issue for me but may be for others. Also the paddle feels a little bulkier than other 16mm paddles. Being said, the alpha has replaced the Paddletek bantam tko-c as my main and I highly recommend it.

so FUN to play with this new paddle! Plenty of Power and a 'balanced' feel.

Very stable with a great sweet spot and plush

This paddle is amazing. It really is a totally new material to learn but once you get the hang of it the pop and spin are incredible. I've played with the alpha and it's not quite as stable but once I got more used to the Omega I've been playing with it as my main.

Honestly unreal how great of a paddle you get for this price. I love the long handle and powerful face. This paddles has it all and is one of my go-to-choice's. Coretek has done something special with this one and I hope the company gets the recognition it deserves for the hard work they put into this. Would recommend it to anyone!!!

Without a question, both paddles play great. Alpha is definitely geared towards faster play, whereas Omega towards more control. Great paddles.

Great cause

Great paddle and cap!

I had been using the Engage Pro series for about the last year. When I tried the Alpha I knew I had to switch. I convinced my men's doubles and mixed doubles partner to test drive them and now we all on team Coretek. Good control and plenty of pop and power. We added a carbon fiber edge guard and it really looks sweet.

If your put-aways are getting returned, buy an ALPHA α. In addition to the punch this paddle packs, it felt stable in my hand when resetting drives. At the kitchen I could dink aggressively with spin. The sweet spot feels huge and responsive. Players looking for power on a budget need to look no further than the ALPHA α.

Happy with the quality. The stitching and material are great. This actually seems comparable to some decent athletic wear.
