What's actually different
Generated from the brands' published specs. Nothing here comes from lab testing; see how we read specs.
Shape
The Edge BluCore Pro 16mm is an elongated shape (16.5" × 7.5"); the Edge BluCore Hybrid 16mm is a hybrid shape (16.2" × 7.8"). Longer, narrower shapes add reach and leverage; wider faces give a bigger sweet spot.
What's the same, or can't be compared
- Core thickness: Both have a 16mm core.
- Weight: Both are listed at 8 oz.
- Swingweight: Swingweight is not published for either paddle, so we can't compare it.
- Twistweight: Twistweight is not published for either paddle, so we can't compare it.
- Handle: Both have a 5.7" handle.
- Face and core: Same face (18K carbon, triaxial 3D weave) and core (bluCore solid EPP foam (PowerSync BluCore)).
- Price: Same price right now: $200 at JustPaddles (checked Oct 20).
- Warranty: Lifetime core warranty on both.
