Bread & Butter Loco 2 Elongated 16mm
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.
Volair Mach 2 Forza 16
Volair's second-gen Forza adds foam walls without adding swing weight past 115. Power 88 and stability 88 make it a genuine tournament option.
