Used my Mon Ami today. Really like the power on serves, only missed the sweet spot once during a rally. Great spin from the surface. I like the edgeless concept. With a little more time my resets and dinks will improve. The grip rings are awesome, looking forward to using them on my Racquetball racquet. Love the looks of the Mon Ami.

The build is superbly premium!!! I did not expect the Mon Ami to be this classy up close. I've tried most of the top premium paddles in the market, but appearance wise, this paddle sits at the top! I had a friend bring it for me here in the Philippines since mint doesn't ship here yet, and damn, this paddle is worth the wait. The grit and the weight feels perfect for me. Performance wise, I'll be on the court in a few hours, but so far after handling it with a ball, there's a spring-like bounce feel to it that I haven't seen in the top market paddles. It almost feels like a power paddle instead of being a control one. Again, I will still have to test it, but I can definitely feel it, even my partner felt it too. This is my first 18mm so I'm not sure whether it's one of its features. We'll see, and I'll try to update my review once I test it at a real match. But so far, it's friggin' awesome!

I’ve only used it twice but once I got used to it, I loved it. Very solid hitting. Excellent grip and follow through capabilities. I was very surprised with the free gifts I received with my new paddle and loved all of them. I have only one complaint. Now everybody that sees it wants to use it. Very very nice paddle and I know I’ll love using it.
