Verdicts

Electrum Model E Max V3

The Max is the widest-body Electrum yet, and the numbers show it: sweet spot 88 and twist weight 84 are both top-quartile. It is a forgiving elongated paddle, which is not a common combination.

Legacy Pickleball Pro XS 16

A full foam-wall unibody aimed squarely at the JOOLA and CRBN flagships. Twist weight 88 and plow-through 90 are flagship numbers; the 120 swing weight is the tax you pay for them.
