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.
Volair Mach 1 Forza 16
The Forza is the sensible hybrid: nothing extreme, everything solid. It is the paddle to hand someone moving off a big-box starter without overwhelming them.
