How they play
The Engage X2 Elongated is controlled power with reach. Quad-density foam, swing weight around 115, and head-heavy balance make serves and drives carry real depth. The 9.25 overall score is our top Engage mark, but the elongated shape is slower in pure kitchen hand battles than a true widebody.
The Spartus P1 Elongated is a PermaGrit spin elongated with forgiving foam. Its ~2,358 RPM spin class is the headline, but the elongated balance means hand-speed recovery at the kitchen is slower than a hybrid or widebody. It trades some Engage-style power for grit longevity and spin shape.
This comparison comes down to Gen 4 foam power versus PermaGrit spin longevity.
