Verdicts
Gearbox Pro Ultimate Elongated 16
Gearbox's rib-suspended SSTCore feels unlike any honeycomb paddle: firmer through contact, quieter on resets, and unusually consistent shot to shot. You pay $275 for that engineering.
JOOLA Perseus Pro V 14
The 14 mm Pro V trades the 16 mm model's dwell time for the highest pop we have measured in the Perseus line. It is a speed-up paddle for players who already have hands.
