Verdicts
Bread & Butter Loco 16mm Standard
The forgiving Loco. Widening the face lifts sweet spot and twist weight and drops the swing weight below the other two shapes, at the cost of some reach and drive.
HEAD Extreme Tour 16
HEAD's most balanced pickleball build yet. Nothing spikes, but nothing drops below 74 either — a dependable tournament paddle for players who dislike surprises.
