Verdicts
HEAD Radical Tour Ultra 16
A conservative, durable standard-shape paddle. Spin 72 is well behind raw carbon, but forgiveness 86 and a 105 swing weight make it one of the easier paddles here to play well immediately.
Vatic Pro V7 Hybrid
Thermoformed construction at a mid-tier price. It gives up very little to paddles at twice the cost and is the value pick of the 2026 releases.
