Verdicts
Paddletek Tempest Wave Pro
The paddle a generation of control players learned on, and still one of the quietest, most predictable graphite faces made. It will not out-hit a thermoformed paddle, but it will not surprise you either.
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.
