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 2X Power Series verdict
CRBN's hybrid power build. The foam-filled perimeter pushes twist weight near the top of the field, so you get put-away power without the face twisting on off-center drives.
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.

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