The Mach 1 FORZA is at a good price point for a thermoformed paddle. If you prefer elongated, they've got the Mach 2 FORZA. These feel like similar paddles to the Six Zero DBD. Both great paddles & at similar price points.

The Black Ace that ProKennex has got insane power and the edge-less design is pretty sweet, imo. It's got a 10mm core, aka more power than most paddles. I like this brand for this paddle alone.
