Verdicts
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.
Six Zero Quartz Hybrid 16
Six Zero's softest build. Softness 88 and touch 90 make it the most arm-friendly hybrid under $200 without dropping spin below 88.
