    Who each paddle is for

    Holbrook Fuze Widebody 16mm

    Best for 3.0+ players who want a forgiving control feel 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 face surface keeps spin honest without overdoing it.

    Playing style: control

    JOOLA Pro V

    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
