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 Hybrid 16

The Ruby formula in a hybrid shape. Spin 90 with a 109 swing weight is a rare combination — you get grip on the ball without losing the hands battle.
