Verdicts
JOOLA Radius CGS 16
JOOLA's widebody answer to the elongated arms race. The extra face width buys one of the largest sweet-spot scores in the lineup, and the twist weight is high enough that mishits still come back deep.
Paddletek Bantam ALW-C 14
The lightweight Bantam. At 7.7 oz it is one of the fastest paddles in the database through hands battles, and Paddletek's core keeps the feel soft rather than tinny.
