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 Tempest Wave V3
The reference control paddle for players who do not want the weight of a 20 mm build. Touch scores trail only the Luxx.
