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.

Ronbus R3 Pulsar

Ronbus keeps doing the same trick: flagship construction at mid-tier money. Nothing in the R3's DNA drops below 72, and spin 88 matches paddles costing $100 more.
