Verdicts
CRBN 1X TruFoam Power
CRBN put its foam core in the widebody 1X shape. Twist weight 88 and sweet spot 90 make it the most stable power paddle in the database on off-center contact.
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.
