Yes.  The problem is to do that you probably have to buy one but be sure you can return it if you don’t like it.

This is not an easy choice.  I recommend going to a number of conventions, flea markets, etc.,  where dealers have paddels on display for you to try.

 

Excellent advice. But! ... Be careful! 

 

It is very easy to send a few TESTs and your call and think Wow! This is the one. 

 

You need to give a paddle a real test.
