Verdicts
Selkirk Labs Project Boomstik Elongated 16
The highest power score in the database, and the twist weight (7.2) to back it up. The MOI tuning system lets you dial the balance, but nothing turns a 118 swing weight into a fast-hands paddle.
Vatic Pro V7 Hybrid
Thermoformed construction at a mid-tier price. It gives up very little to paddles at twice the cost and is the value pick of the 2026 releases.
