Verdicts

Proton Series Two Project Flash

The grittiest face Proton has made. Spin 92 puts it in the top tier of the database, and the hybrid shape keeps it usable at the kitchen line.

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.
