Engage Pursuit MX 6.0 verdict

Engage's dwell-time engineering is real: the ball sits on the face long enough to shape shots that other elongated paddles simply cannot.

JOOLA Perseus CFS 16 verdict

The most complete tournament paddle we have measured. Control numbers sit at the top of the field without giving up the drive speed you need to finish points.
