Bread & Butter Loco 2 Elongated 16mm verdict
The Loco 2 Elongated pairs the second-generation dual-density EPP/EVA foam core and Space Dust grit face with a full 16.5-inch elongated shape at $220. The comparison video frames it against the roughly half-price Spartus Spitfire. All Paddle DNA scores are editorial estimates, not our laboratory measurements.
Bread & Butter Loco 2 Hybrid 16mm verdict
The second-generation Loco in the hybrid shape keeps the dual-density foam core and adds Space Dust grit. A published 111 swing weight makes it quicker than most 16mm power hybrids, while the 6.7 twist weight keeps it stable.
The verdict
Comparable swing and twist measurements are not verified for both paddles. DNA scores are estimates, not laboratory results; compare construction, fit and price rather than a numerical inertia winner.
