Verdicts
Engage Encore Pro EX
A soft, light, extremely forgiving paddle that has quietly become the default recommendation for players over 60.
Selkirk SLK Evo Hybrid 2.0
A genuinely balanced sub-$100 paddle. Nothing about it is elite, but nothing is a liability either, which is rare at this price.
