    Who each paddle is for

    JOOLA Anna Bright Scorpeus Pro IV 14

    Best for intermediate players (3.5-4.5) looking for a balanced upgrade who play with a balanced two-handed/one-handed mix. The widebody profile gives you a generous sweet spot, the 14mm core balances pop and control, and the face surface keeps spin honest without overdoing it.

    Playing style: power, spin

    Onix Evoke Premier

    Best for advanced power players (4.0+) who can manage a hot face who play with a balanced two-handed/one-handed mix. The widebody profile gives you a generous sweet spot, the 13mm core delivers high pop with a tighter touch window, and the face surface keeps spin honest without overdoing it.

    Playing style: balanced, all-around

    Pickle's verdict
