Enhance Turbo EPP Widebody vs Pickleball Apes Zen S+

The Enhance Turbo EPP Widebody is a 16 mm widebody paddle; the Pickleball Apes Zen S+ is a 16 mm hybrid one. Across the 6 specs with a clearly better direction the Zen S+ takes 4 and the Turbo EPP Widebody takes 2.

Static weight 8.0 oz vs 7.8 oz — a few grams of tape moves swing weight far more than static weight, so either can be pushed toward the other.
