hybrid
The Loco by Bread and Butter is a hybrid shape paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core, known for balancing power and control. The carbon fiber face is often associated with control and feel. Weighing 7.7 oz with a 5.3-inch grip, it falls into the midweight category. The 114 swing weight is considered medium, meaning it shouldn't feel overly head-heavy. The 16mm core thickness contributes to control-oriented play.
This paddle may be suitable for intermediate to advanced all-court players. The combination of core and face materials could offer a blend of power and control. The spin rating of 7.1 suggests good spin potential. The moderate swing weight and twist weight rating of 4.6 may provide stability and maneuverability.
While the paddle's specifications suggest balanced performance, the drive and volley speed ratings are average (5.7 and 5.6 respectively). Players seeking maximum power might find its performance in these areas less pronounced than dedicated power paddles.
