Verdicts
Paddletek Tempest Wave V3
The reference control paddle for players who do not want the weight of a 20 mm build. Touch scores trail only the Luxx.
ProKennex Kinetic Pro Flight
The arm-comfort paddle. ProKennex's Kinetic mass system and the light 7.5 oz build make this the paddle we point players toward when elbow or shoulder pain is the limiting factor, not skill.
