Verdicts
JOOLA Perseus CFS 16
The most complete tournament paddle we have measured. Control numbers sit at the top of the field without giving up the drive speed you need to finish points.
Selkirk Vanguard Control Air Invikta
The softest premium elongated paddle we measure. The thick Quadcarbon build absorbs pace so completely that resets from mid-court land in the kitchen almost by default.
