Verdicts
ONIX Evoke Premier
An underrated standard-shape all-rounder. It rewards players who make clean contact in the middle of the face and does nothing badly.
Volair Mach 1 Forza 16
The Forza is the sensible hybrid: nothing extreme, everything solid. It is the paddle to hand someone moving off a big-box starter without overwhelming them.
