Verdicts
Engage Encore Pro EX
A soft, light, extremely forgiving paddle that has quietly become the default recommendation for players over 60.
JOOLA Perseus Pro V 16
The 2026 control flagship. The KineticFrame build stiffens the perimeter without adding face pop, so resets land shorter and drives stay predictable — at the highest price in the database.
