    Who each paddle is for

    Bread & Butter Loco Standard 16mm

    Best for 3.5+ players who prioritize control and reach who play with a balanced two-handed/one-handed mix. The standard shape rewards clean contact, the 16mm core gives you a soft touch window, and the raw carbon face bites on spin shots.

    Playing style: all-court

    JOOLA Kosmos Pro V 16

    Best for 3.5+ players who prioritize control and reach who play with a balanced two-handed/one-handed mix. The hybrid shape splits the difference between reach and forgiveness, the 16mm core gives you a soft touch window, and the face surface keeps spin honest without overdoing it.

    Playing style: power, spin
