Bread & Butter Loco Standard 16mm Pickleball Paddle Review
MATT'S VERDICT
The Standard Loco has the lowest swing weight at 109.9 but the highest twist weight at 7.3, making it the most forgiving and quickest in hand while still delivering elite spin and power output. You sacrifice some reach compared to the Elongated, but gain significant stability on off-center hits.
