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 Ruby
Six Zero's answer to the hybrid trend, and the most balanced paddle in our 2026 test group. Very few weaknesses at this price.
