"These two are close cousins: budget power paddles, both elongated, both 16mm Gen-4 thermoformed foam builds, both with a hollow, lively feel, and both landing right around $99 with code JOHNKEW."
"The Spartus Spitfire is the more spin-heavy and control-oriented of the two: noticeably more spin that also lasts longer, and slightly less pop, which makes it easier to shape the ball."
