Verdicts
Proton Series Four (Project Roadrunner)
The exposed Kevlar weave is the story: it grips the ball like a fresh grit face but, unlike sprayed textures, it is the material itself, so the spin number does not decay over a season.
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.
