Verdicts
Engage Pursuit MX 6.0
Engage's dwell-time engineering is real: the ball sits on the face long enough to shape shots that other elongated paddles simply cannot.
Paddletek Bantam ALW-C 14
The lightweight Bantam. At 7.7 oz it is one of the fastest paddles in the database through hands battles, and Paddletek's core keeps the feel soft rather than tinny.
