Chris Olson — Pickleball Studio (full review)
"I've been using this paddle for about a month now, and I honestly think it's one of the best full foam options out right now."
"When I first tried the Bread & Butter Loco, I honestly didn't think it would compete with the big names. The foam market is full of paddles like the Selkirk Boomstik and Ronbus Quanta, and I figured the Loco would land somewhere in between. After one session, I took it to a tournament two days later, and it hasn't left my bag since."
