Bread & Butter Loco Elongated 16mm Pickleball Paddle Review
MATT'S VERDICT
The elongated Loco delivers elite power, with serve speed in the 89th percentile, but plays dense and controlled rather than springy or hollow. There's real substance behind the hit, and the compression is solid and plush, so you have time to shape your shot before releasing.
