Loco Elongated

Liked a friend's well enough: dense and muted, less gritty than hyped, but a solid performer.

“I played with a friend’s Loco elongated and liked it well enough but it felt dense and muted and not as gritty as it was hyped to be.”

Balls die off the top more than with their Perseus Pro IV, though it does some things better.

“i’m trying out the elongated & i feel the ball dying on me way more often than i’m used to with my joola perseus pro iv 16mm.”

Worth the hype, nearly matching the Inferno but with a tighter sweet spot.

“The Loco definitely is worth the hype. I have both the Loco (elongated) and the Inferno but I love my Inferno more.”

Weighted at 3 and 9: forgiving sweet spot and put-away power.

“I play with the elongated and the 3 & 9 makes for a great/ forgiving sweet spot. It definitely has put away power”

Low 4.0: control, power, feel and spin; their game has improved.

“My Loco elongated arrived 2 days before Christmas and my game has improved. Low 4.0. Control, power, feel, spin, it has it all.”

Loves its balance of power and control after a month.

“Been using the elongated loco model for about a month now after switching from a selkirk invicta control. I love it, really good balance of power and control for me”

Disliked the smaller sweet spot at first, but weighted it's great.

“Coming from the bnb filth elongated to the loco elongated I really didn’t like it at first. The sweet spot felt noticeably smaller, but I stuck with it and after adding weight it’s a great paddle.”

After 20 hours, lacked firepower and pop for them.

“i tested the Loco Elongated for about 20 hours and felt like something was missing, albeit being a great paddle.”

Grit wore out within weeks, killing their topspin drives.

“The thing I do not like about the Loco is the grit wear out so quickly, and the paddle essentially becomes useless after a few weeks. My topspin drives lost a lot of luster after two weeks.”

Loves it, though the cover was too small (customer service replaced it).

“Love the Elongated Loco but the paddle cover is too small for the paddle”

Loves it: nice power and surprisingly huge spin.

“I got the elongated one and I love it. Power is nice but my spin is crazy, that was a great surprise”

Tried the elongated and found it an amazing paddle, likely good for singles.

“tried this paddle on Monday (elongated), amazing paddle”

Owns both shapes and prefers the elongated, which works well for both singles and doubles.

“I have any elongated bias, but I do prefer the way it plays over the hybrid.”

A day in, all their returns feel very poppy; expects a couple of weeks to adjust.

“I bought the loco elongated yesterday but I feel like all my returns are very poppy.”

The Loco Elongated is the perfect mix: the Shogun's power with the Invader's control.

“Now with the Loco, it has all the power of the Shogun, with the control of Invader”
