Verdicts
Bread & Butter Loco 16mm Hybrid
The shape most Loco buyers should start with. It keeps the long handle and most of the drive output while widening the face enough to make off-center contact survivable.
Ronbus R4 Pulsar
Ronbus swings for pace with a 14 mm foam-walled build. Power 88 and pop 86 at $160 is the best price-to-punch ratio we have measured this year.
