Head Boom Tour EX vs Head Gravity Pro EX15
The Head Boom Tour EX is a 11 mm elongated paddle; the Head Gravity Pro EX15 is a 15 mm hybrid one. Across the 6 specs with a clearly better direction the Boom Tour EX takes 5 and the Gravity Pro EX15 takes 0. The Gravity Pro EX15 swings lighter (111.0 vs 116.0) — quicker hands at the net, where the Boom Tour EX plows through the ball instead. That is a preference, not a win. They retail for the same $200.00.
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.
