Verdicts
JOOLA Perseus 14
The 14 mm Perseus trades the 16 mm's plow-through for a firmer, faster response. It is the version to buy if you counter-attack rather than grind out drops.
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.
