Verdicts

Honolulu J2CR

The foam paddle with no obvious hole. Elite power and forgiveness in a hybrid shape that still moves at the kitchen, on a Blue Grit face that holds its spin numbers far longer than most textured surfaces.

Vatic Pro Oni 16

Vatic's answer to the $250 foam paddles at roughly half the price. It gives up some polish in finish quality, not in scored performance.
