Two sessions: stiff, hollow and loud; more pop and power than their Ruby, but worse feel.

“I did 2 sessions on the Loco Standard, and it feels like a stiff cheap hollow plank of wood: very stiff and loud.”

Felt meh compared with the hybrid.

“I first bought the standard loco and thought it was meh”

A week in: brilliant, with effortless power, soft touch for dinks and easy blocks and resets.

“I’ve had my standard LOCO for a week and it’s brilliant. Effortless power when you need it but a nice soft feel and touch for dinks and angles. Excellent at the NVZ”

Their favourite paddle: poppy but controllable with good dwell; retiring their Pulse V.

“got the standard shape my favorite paddle for sure ! Im retiring my previous pulse V. Paddle feels poppy but controllable and has some good dwell for a foam paddle.”

About 10 hours: firmer than a Quanta R4 with great grit and similar power.

“Loco: Firmer from the fiberglass. Grit is loco though. The power is about the same but Quanta might be slightly faster due to shape/weight.”

Just arrived; feels and sounds similar to the Boomstik, slightly less powerful.

“I demoed the boomstik when it first came out and from what I can recall this one felt very similar, just slightly less powerful.”
positive

A short hit showed why it's a terrific paddle, with a great sound.

“I only had a five minute with the Loco standard and in that time it was easy to see why this is a terrific paddle.”
positive

Played the original Loco in the standard shape and loved it; the only issue was that its spin didn't last.

“I played with the Loco 1 standard and loved it, the only issue was that spin didn't last.”
