I really liked the design of it and it intrigued me to get it. It fills your hand while at the same time it is soft and does not slip. On one side it has a smooth entrance, while on the other it has ridges where you can feel a difference in playing. The only downside, like all of them, is when it comes time to clean it, and also that in the almost one year that I have it - and putting talc on it because they say it maintains it - I notice some small peeling. And it's not like I use it often... still, it's one of my favorites.
