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.

CRBN 1X TruFoam Power verdict

CRBN put its foam core in the widebody 1X shape. Twist weight 88 and sweet spot 90 make it the most stable power paddle in the database on off-center contact.

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.

Which one is right for your level?

Each call below re-weights the Paddle DNA traits that matter at that level, so the winner can differ from the overall pick.
