I've got the elongated v7 v-sol power. I have been playing with it in competitive social games for the last 1-2 weeks and I really liked it. It has even better control and stability after adding lead tape to the bottom corners. Although, I still needed to calibrate my soft game as the paddle is not as poppy as my carbon v7, it's a great paddle to reset without too much pop up. It also provides me good power on serve without worrying about the balls going out . Good spin potential, especially when slicing. I hope this paddle lasts longer that my original v7 which seems drop in performance within 3-6 months of heavy playing.
