Bread & Butter Loco 2 Elongated 16mm

85Specs recorded November 2026 · Players who want an elongated foam-core power paddle and prefer the Bread & Butter feel and design
Reviewed by Alex ZubarevPickleball player since 2021Jacksonville, FLUpdated Research-based review

The Bread & Butter Loco 2 Elongated 16mm is a 16 mm elongated pickleball paddle weighing 8.05 oz, with a T700 raw carbon fiber with Space Dust grit over a fiberglass layer face, listed around $220.

The Loco 2 Elongated pairs the second-generation dual-density EPP/EVA foam core and Space Dust grit face with a full 16.5-inch elongated shape at $220. The comparison video frames it against the roughly half-price Spartus Spitfire. All Paddle DNA scores are editorial estimates, not our laboratory measurements.

From Bread & Butter

Bread & Butter lists the Loco 2 Elongated at $220: a 16mm dual-density foam core (EPP and EVA) with a CFC layup, T700 raw carbon face with Space Dust grit over fiberglass, 16.5 × 7.375 inches, a 5.5-inch handle with 4.25-inch circumference and a 7.9–8.2 oz weight range (8.05 oz midpoint used here). USAP and UPA approved. The page lists 118 and 6.3 inertia figures without units or a measurement protocol, so comparable catalog inertia remains unverified. Listed as pre-order with shipping expected to begin Nov. 11. This is not the Loco 2 Hybrid or the first-generation Loco.
