Verdicts
Engage Encore Pro EX
A soft, light, extremely forgiving paddle that has quietly become the default recommendation for players over 60.
Vatic Pro Prism Flash
Raw carbon spin numbers usually cost twice this much. The elongated shape is slightly less forgiving, so pick this only if you already make consistent contact.
