Bread & Butter Loco Elongated vs Bread & Butter Loco Standard

The Bread & Butter Loco Elongated is a 16 mm elongated paddle; the Bread & Butter Loco Standard is a 16 mm widebody one. Across the 6 specs with a clearly better direction the Loco Elongated takes 4 and the Loco Standard takes 1. The Loco Standard swings lighter (110.0 vs 120.0) — quicker hands at the net, where the Loco Elongated plows through the ball instead. That is a preference, not a win. They retail for the same $199.99.

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.

Static weight 7.9 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.
