Which paddle should you buy?

Pick the Gearbox Pro Ultimate if…

  • You prefer the elongated shape — different feel/reach/sweet-spot profile from the hybrid.

Pick the Selkirk Project 006 if…

  • You want faster hands — lower SW (118.49 vs 123.14) means quicker maneuvering at the kitchen.
  • You want a bigger sweet spot — TW 5.93 is more forgiving on off-center hits.
  • You prefer the hybrid shape — different feel/reach/sweet-spot profile from the elongated.
