Buy the Spitfire if you want spin and an easier paddle
The Spitfire Elongated is the spin paddle of the two and the better all-around elongated in our testing. The foam core is softer on mishits, so it scored better on forgiveness even with the lower twist weight, and it gets back to the kitchen faster at about 115 swing weight. It is the elongated we point most budget shoppers to.
Buy the Pro-Cannon if you want pace for under $93
The Pro-Cannon hits harder, with more pop and a 61 mph serve in our testing. The Gen 3 thermoformed build gives that hollow crack and fast energy return. The cost is hand speed: 119 swing weight and a head-heavy balance make it slow in hands battles. Its 5.75" handle is the better fit for a two-handed backhand.
