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.
Selkirk Labs Project Boomstik Elongated 16
The highest power score in the database, and the twist weight (7.2) to back it up. The MOI tuning system lets you dial the balance, but nothing turns a 118 swing weight into a fast-hands paddle.
