Wilson
Vesper Control 17
The Wilson Vesper Control 17 is a 17 mm widebody pickleball paddle with a Carbon face. It generates below-average spin (40th percentile) with low power and pop. It has a mid-range swing weight that balances power and maneuverability, but low twist weight, so off-center hits lose more pace. Overall it's a control-oriented profile that trades raw power for touch and placement.
