Verdicts
Bread & Butter Loco 2 Hybrid 16mm
The second-generation Loco in the hybrid shape keeps the dual-density foam core and adds Space Dust grit. A published 111 swing weight makes it quicker than most 16mm power hybrids, while the 6.7 twist weight keeps it stable.
RPM Pickleball Q2 Elongated 16mm
RPM's Gen 4 full-foam Q2 trades the Friction Pro's honeycomb feel for a firmer, more powerful response. The published 114 swing weight is lighter than most elongated power paddles, while the 6.1 twist weight is on the low side for the shape.
