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.
Selkirk Labs Project Boomstik Elongated 16 verdict
The highest power score in the database, and the twist weight (7.2) to back it up. The MOI tuning system lets you dial the balance, but nothing turns a 118 swing weight into a fast-hands paddle.
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.
