Verdicts

CRBN 2X TruFoam Genesis

The widest sweet spot CRBN has produced. Forgiveness 90, sweet spot 90 and control 92 make it the softest-landing tournament paddle we have tested.

Gearbox Pro Ultimate Elongated 16

Gearbox's rib-suspended SSTCore feels unlike any honeycomb paddle: firmer through contact, quieter on resets, and unusually consistent shot to shot. You pay $275 for that engineering.
