    Who each paddle is for

    Bread & Butter Filth 16mm Widebody

    Best for 3.5+ players who prioritize control and reach who play with a balanced two-handed/one-handed mix. The widebody profile gives you a generous sweet spot, the 16mm core gives you a soft touch window, and the fiberglass face emphasizes pop over spin.

    Playing style: control

    ProKennex Pro Flight

    Best for advanced power players (4.0+) who can manage a hot face who play with a quick, hands-first style. The elongated shape extends your reach at the kitchen line, the 12mm core delivers high pop with a tighter touch window, and the face surface keeps spin honest without overdoing it.

    Playing style: spin
