Bread & Butter Fat Boy vs Bread & Butter Loco Hybrid

The Bread & Butter Fat Boy is a 16 mm widebody paddle; the Bread & Butter Loco Hybrid is a 16 mm hybrid one. Across the 6 specs with a clearly better direction the Loco Hybrid takes 4 and the Fat Boy takes 2. The Fat Boy swings lighter (112.0 vs 113.0) — quicker hands at the net, where the Loco Hybrid plows through the ball instead. That is a preference, not a win. The Fat Boy is $10.00 cheaper at $189.99.

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.

Open this in the interactive comparison to add up to two more paddles, or tune either one with lead tape on its own page: Fat Boy · Loco Hybrid.

Static weight 8.2 oz vs 8.0 oz — a few grams of tape moves swing weight far more than static weight, so either can be pushed toward the other.
