JOOLA Hyperion CFS 16 verdict
An elongated drive machine. The extra reach and plow-through win baseline exchanges, but you pay for it every time you have to reset a fast hands battle.
Selkirk Vanguard Power Air verdict
Explosive acceleration and crisp feedback for players who create their own control. The air-dynamic throat cuts drag noticeably on fast swings.
