Bread & Butter Loco Hybrid 16mm Pickleball Paddle Review
MATT'S VERDICT
The hybrid Loco strikes the middle ground with plenty of power but better forgiveness and maneuverability than the elongated. Swing weight drops to 114 while twist weight increases to 6.75, giving you more stability and quicker hand speed without sacrificing much serve velocity.
