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 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.
