Verdicts
Ronbus R1 Pulsar
The value benchmark for an elongated control paddle. It gives up thermoformed power, but the swing weight is low enough that fast hands stay fast into the third game.
Vulcan V1100 16
A T700 raw-carbon elongated paddle that sells for about a quarter of its MSRP. On measured specs it competes with paddles at triple the street price.
