Adidas PRO-EDT 14 vs Adidas PRO-EDT 16 C

The Adidas PRO-EDT 14 is a 14 mm elongated paddle; the Adidas PRO-EDT 16 C is a 16 mm widebody one. Across the 6 specs with a clearly better direction the PRO-EDT 14 takes 3 and the PRO-EDT 16 C takes 2. The PRO-EDT 16 C swings lighter (119.0 vs 122.0) — quicker hands at the net, where the PRO-EDT 14 plows through the ball instead. That is a preference, not a win. They retail for the same $189.00.

Two paddles from the same brand, so the differences are the ones the maker chose. Every number below is lab-measured, not a manufacturer claim.

Static weight 8.0 oz vs 8.1 oz — a few grams of tape moves swing weight far more than static weight, so either can be pushed toward the other.
