Which paddle should you buy?

Pick the Head Radical if…

  • You want faster hands — lower SW (113.83 vs 118.49) 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 Selkirk Project 006 if…

  • You want more power — SW 118.49 is 4.66 points higher.
  • You prefer the hybrid shape — different feel/reach/sweet-spot profile from the widebody.
