Verdicts
Engage Encore Pro EX
A soft, light, extremely forgiving paddle that has quietly become the default recommendation for players over 60.
Engage Pursuit Pro EX 16
Engage's soft-core philosophy taken to its logical end. Launch angle 46 is the lowest in the database — the ball simply does not pop up off resets.
