Verdicts
Selkirk Labs Project 006
Selkirk's limited-run Labs build is unapologetically a power paddle. Plow-through and pop lead the field; touch play asks for a deliberate slower swing.
Vatic Pro Oni 16
Vatic's answer to the $250 foam paddles at roughly half the price. It gives up some polish in finish quality, not in measured performance.
