Verdicts
Legacy Pickleball Pro XS 16
A full foam-wall unibody aimed squarely at the JOOLA and CRBN flagships. Twist weight 88 and plow-through 90 are flagship numbers; the 120 swing weight is the tax you pay for them.
RPM Pickleball Q2 Elongated 16mm
RPM's Gen 4 full-foam Q2 trades the Friction Pro's honeycomb feel for a firmer, more powerful response. The published 114 swing weight is lighter than most elongated power paddles, while the 6.1 twist weight is on the low side for the shape.
