Verdicts
JOOLA Vision CGS 16
The friendliest paddle JOOLA sells. Standard shape, 107 swing weight and forgiveness 88 make it the natural first premium paddle for a 3.0 player.
Selkirk Vanguard Control Air Invikta
The softest premium elongated paddle in the database. The thick Quadcarbon build absorbs pace so completely that resets from mid-court land in the kitchen almost by default.
