I bought the 16 mm paddle in July and LOVE it. It gives me great control. I have had other carbon faced paddles, but I am able to create a lot more spin compared to those other paddles. As you grow the company I would like to see a smaller grip, maybe a 4" circumference, as I have small hands. The slightly extended handle is allowing me to more comfortably try to develop a two handed backhand. (Work in progress) Good luck on your new business! Excited to see you grow!
