A lot of brands that make my favorites list is because I play with a paddle that I end up loving. I am a big fan of the spin and control of the DBD 16. That was in my rotation for several months.

While priced higher than other brands like VaticPro & SixZero, I think Selkirk does more to help grow the sport than most other brands. When purchasing from Selkirk Labs, you're investing in the R&D of paddle technology. If money is of no issue, the 006 is a great paddle.
