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.
Spartus Spitfire Standard/Widebody 16mm verdict
The 16 × 8-inch Standard/Widebody offers a broader face and lower manufacturer-listed swingweight than the Elongated. Choose its geometry for compact handling and off-center coverage; choose Elongated for extra reach. Estimated Paddle DNA is not a measured power, control or spin result.
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.
