★★★★★Just purchased a paddle from the Wenonah store today. The customer service was excellent! The owner took the time to make sure I was leaving with the best paddle suited to my game. He talked with me regarding proper handle size, style of play that I used, and the main differences between the various paddles for sale. The owner has a true passion and love for the game.
