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.

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.
