Which paddle should you buy?

Pick the Head Radical if…

  • You want faster hands — lower SW (113.83 vs 116.91) means quicker maneuvering at the kitchen.
  • You want a bigger sweet spot — TW 6.83 is more forgiving on off-center hits.
  • Your game leans control — this is tuned for that style.
  • You prefer the widebody shape — different feel/reach/sweet-spot profile from the hybrid.

Pick the Maverix Havik Pro X if…

  • You want more power — SW 116.91 is 3.08 points higher.
  • You're price-conscious — about $50 cheaper after PLAYBOOK discount.
  • You prefer the hybrid shape — different feel/reach/sweet-spot profile from the widebody.
