Verdicts
Diadem Edge 18K V2
Diadem's 18K weave measures at the top end for spin without the harsh feedback most thermoformed elongated paddles carry. It is the balanced option in a category full of specialists.
Selkirk Labs Project Boomstik Elongated 16
The highest measured power in the database, and the twist weight (7.2) to back it up. The MOI tuning system lets you dial the balance, but nothing turns a 118 swing weight into a fast-hands paddle.
