Best Long Handle Pickleball Paddles: 8 Picks Compared

Our verdict

Our Top Picks

A long handle is a handle spec, not a paddle shape. Makers put 5.5 in and longer handles on elongated, widebody and standard faces, and the figure that settles it is the one on the maker’s own page for the exact shape you buy. This guide gathers eight paddles stocked on Amazon whose makers publish a handle (grip) length of 5.5 in or more for the linked model, from 5.5 in up to the 6 in Engage lists, with the USA Pickleball list checked for each on 2026-10-25.

The figures here are the makers’ unless a tester or retailer is named. For paddles chosen across every handle length, see our best pickleball paddles; for lower-priced options, our best budget pickleball paddles; and if you want reach from the face as well as the handle, our best elongated pickleball paddles.

Compare the picks

Compare the 8 long-handle paddles

Every row is the exact variant we link. “Maker handle length” is the handle or grip length on the maker’s page for that shape; makers do not publish a common measuring method, so read each figure as that maker’s own. “USA Pickleball” is what the approved-paddle list showed when we searched it on 2026-10-25, with the date the list gives for the entry.

Long handle is not the same as elongated

The ranking forum threads show the mix-up: in r/Pickleball’s Longer paddle handle? thread, the top reply says “a long handle is just a long handle.” The points below come up again in the reviews.

• Long handles come on wide faces too. The Dink puts it this way: “Better yet, you’re not relegated to an elongated shape when seeking a long-handled paddle. Plenty of hybrid and widebody paddles offer long handles as well.” Three of our picks are wide: the Paddletek ESQ-C (16 x 8 in, 5.5 in), the Selkirk ERA Power Widebody (15.95 x 8.0 in, 5.6 in) and the 11SIX24 Pegasus Power 2 (15.8 x 8.12 in, 5.75 in).
• What counts as long. The Dink writes: “Standard pickleball paddle handle length lands somewhere in the 5″ to 5.25″ range. Anything over 5.5″ is considered an extra long handle.” We used 5.5 in or more, by the maker’s figure for the linked shape, as the bar.
• Makers measure differently. CRBN footnotes its figure: “Handle Length is measured from the very bottom to the top of the rubber band.” The other seven makers do not say how they measure, so we list each figure as published and do not rank the paddles by a quarter inch. Testers’ figures can differ from makers’: John Kew lists the ERA Widebody handle at 5.75 in where Selkirk lists a 5.6 in grip length.
• Forum figures are not maker figures. The same thread names the JOOLA Scorpeus 3S among long-handle standard paddles; JOOLA’s page lists its grip length at 5.25 in, so it is not here. Other paddles failed the same check: Selkirk’s AMPED Control Invikta (5.25 in), the Diadem Warrior Edge (5 in) and GAMMA’s Airbender 16 (5-3/8 in).
• Amazon listings can disagree with the maker. The Atlas listing, shared by Selkirk’s Max and XL shapes, gives a 4.85 in grip length, which is Selkirk’s figure for the Max. We go by the maker’s page for the shape linked and note the listing’s figure in the review.

How the handle figures were checked

The tests each paddle had to pass

• A maker-published handle length of 5.5 in or more for the exact model and shape we link. A paddle whose maker gives no handle figure (the Six Zero Double Black Diamond, Engage’s Pursuit Pro MX) or a figure only on an unlabelled spec block (Selkirk’s SLK HALO Power) was left out.
• Stocked on Amazon in that exact variant. Each pick was a New offer in stock on 2026-10-25, at or below the maker’s regular price. The Gearbox GX2 Hyper (5-1/2 in) was left out because its one Amazon listing returns no data through Amazon’s product feed; several paddles from long-handle lists, including the Honolulu J6CR, Selkirk Omni and Volair Shift, had no Amazon listing we could find.
• Specs from the maker. Weight, core, face, length, width, handle length and grip circumference come from the maker’s page; where a maker publishes none, the table says “not published” or names the other source.
• A checked approval status. We searched the USA Pickleball list by brand and model on 2026-10-25 and quote what it showed, including one pick that is not on it.
• Distinct roles. Eight paddles from seven brands, Selkirk twice (the ERA Power Widebody and the Atlas XL).

Sources, and who sells what and overlap with our other paddle guides

Sources, and who sells what

Pickleball Effect and John Kew publish lab-style measurements; Pickleheads and Pickleball Studio rate paddles after on-court play. Some earn affiliate commissions, which their pages state; Pickleheads: “If you buy through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.” The Dink’s list carries discount codes. The figures we quote from the four testers are labelled as theirs. Two picks have no on-court test of the linked model: the Atlas XL (maker specs only) and the V-Sol Pro V7 Long Handle (Pickleball Studio lists specs for the V7 LH, but its on-court notes do not say which shape or handle it played).

Overlap with our other paddle guides

We checked every Amazon link on our live paddle guides before choosing. One pick repeats a model and shape already picked elsewhere: the V-Sol Pro V7 is in our budget paddle guide with the standard 5.3 in handle; here we link the 5.6 in long-handle version. Two more share a line with picks elsewhere in a different shape: the ERA Power’s elongated shape is in our elongated guide, and 11SIX24’s Vapor and Hurache-X Power 2 shapes are in other guides, including our power paddle guide.

Detailed Reviews

Engage Pursuit Pro1 Innovation 12.7mm, 6-Inch Handle Elongated

Evidence: Independently reviewed, exact model. Pickleheads: Pro1 Innovation 12.7 mm and 15.2 mm.

Engage’s product page lists the 12.7mm at 16.6 x 7.4 in with a 6 in grip length and a 4.25 in grip circumference, a 12.7 mm Power Flex Polymer Core, a raw carbon fiber outer surface, and USAP certification; its spec tab reads “UPA-A Certified: No”. It publishes no weight. Engage sells the Innovation as its own shape; pickleball.com notes it is slightly longer than the Pro1 elongated, at 16.6 in against 16.5 in.

Pickleheads (April 8, 2025) played both thicknesses and writes: “This is an elongated paddle with an extra-long 6″ handle. If you’re a power player, you’ll want to check this one out. It goes hard on power with a heavier feel.” On the two cores: “The 15.2 mm version gives you an extra level of touch, but you sacrifice the speed and pop of the 12.7 mm.” Its main reservation: “Compared to the Pursuit Pro1 Hybrid, this does feel slower in hand battles.”

The Amazon listing we link is sold and shipped by The Tennis Shoppe, not by Engage or Amazon. The USA Pickleball entry reads “Pursuit Pro1 Innovation” with no thickness; a separate entry covers the 15.2mm.

Specs (Engage Pursuit Pro1 Innovation, 12.7mm, Fierce Red)

• Core: 12.7 mm Power Flex Polymer Core (Engage)
• Weight: not published by Engage
• Face: raw carbon fiber outer surface (Engage)
• Size: 16.6 x 7.4 in (Engage)
• Handle: 6 in grip length; 4.25 in grip circumference (Engage)
• Approval: USA Pickleball list, “Pursuit Pro1 Innovation”, added 2025-02-14, thickness not stated (read 2026-10-25); Engage’s spec tab reads “UPA-A Certified: No”

Paddletek Bantam ESQ-C 14.3mm, Long-Handle Widebody

Evidence: Independently reviewed, exact model. Pickleball Effect: ESQ-C 12.7 and 14.3.

Paddletek’s ESQ-C page lists the shape as “Widebody – 16″ x 8″” with a 5.5 in handle, a 7.5–7.8 oz static weight, a Toray 700 carbon fiber face, the Bantam QRT polymer core and a carbon steel twist weight system, in 12.7 mm and 14.3 mm cores. It does not list a grip circumference. Testers call the shape standard rather than widebody, and Pickleball Effect gives 15.9 x 8 in, the size on the Amazon listing too.

Pickleball Effect tested both cores and writes: “The ESQ-C 14.3 is also very lightweight but is more stable and carries through the ball better than the 12.7 out of the box.” It files the 14.3 as all-court rather than power, and measured its grip as “blockier and thicker at 4.5″”. Pickleheads (January 21, 2025), which also played the 14.3 mm, likes the long handle for two-handed shots and names the trade-off: “The shorter length and longer handle mean less hitting surface.” Pickleball Studio writes of the ESQ-C and its ALW-C sibling: “These characteristics stand true for all variations of these models. The 14.3mm will be slightly more player-friendly, while the 12.7mm will be all gas no brakes.”

The Amazon title and a bullet on the same listing both give a 5.5 in handle, as do Paddletek’s page and all three testers (Pickleball Effect, Pickleheads and Pickleball Studio). The listing’s size differs from Paddletek’s page (15.9 x 8 in against 16 x 8 in). The listing is sold by Paddletek and shipped by Amazon.

Specs (Paddletek Bantam ESQ-C, 14.3mm, Titanium White)

• Core: 14.3 mm Bantam QRT polymer honeycomb (Paddletek)
• Weight: 7.5–7.8 oz static (Paddletek)
• Face: Toray 700 carbon fiber (Paddletek)
• Size: 16 x 8 in (Paddletek); 15.9 x 8 in (Pickleball Effect and the Amazon listing)
• Handle: 5.5 in (Paddletek); grip circumference not published by Paddletek, 4.5 in on Pickleball Effect’s 14.3 unit
• Approval: USA Pickleball list, “BANTAM ESQ-C14”, added 2024-02-15 (read 2026-10-25)

Selkirk SLK ERA Power Widebody, Power-Lean Widebody

Evidence: Independently reviewed, exact model. John Kew Pickleball: ERA Power widebody and elongated.

Selkirk’s ERA Power page gives the widebody 15.95 x 8.0 in, a 5.6 in grip length, a 4.25 in grip circumference, an 8.0–8.3 oz average weight, a 16 mm core of polypropylene surrounded by EVA foam, a 3-Layered Face with Raw Spin Technology, a 109 swing weight and a one-year warranty. The elongated ERA on the same page lists a 5.8 in grip length.

John Kew (June 25, 2025) played both shapes, mostly the widebody, and sums them up: “Elongated has a bit more torque and reach for putaways” and “Widebody offers better control and quicker hands”. Their measurements place the ERA “in the power paddle category, but still close to that all-court boundary”. Their spec list gives the widebody a 5.75 in handle where Selkirk lists 5.6 in, and they write: “Handle-wise, they’re a bit skinny. Personally, I liked the 4 1/8” circumference — but you might want to throw on an overgrip depending on your style.” Selkirk lists 4.25 in. Pickleball Effect, which also covered both shapes: “Both paddles felt incredibly stable in hand and played well straight out of the box—with or without customization.”

Our elongated guide already picks the elongated ERA; this is the widebody. Sold by Selkirk Sport and shipped by Amazon.

Specs (Selkirk SLK ERA Power, Widebody, Cyan)

• Core: 16 mm polypropylene honeycomb surrounded by EVA foam (Selkirk)
• Weight: 8.0–8.3 oz average (Selkirk)
• Face: 3-Layered Face, Raw Spin Technology surface (Selkirk)
• Size: 15.95 x 8.0 in (Selkirk)
• Handle: 5.6 in grip length, 4.25 in grip circumference (Selkirk); 5.75 in and 4 1/8 in in John Kew’s review
• Approval: USA Pickleball list, “Era Power Widebody”, added 2025-04-14 (read 2026-10-25)

CRBN TruFoam Waves 1, All-Foam Elongated

Evidence: Independently reviewed, exact model. Pickleball Effect: TFW 1, TFW 2, TFW 3 and TFW 4.

CRBN’s Waves 1 page lists the “Elongated w/ Long Handle” at 7.35 x 16.5 in with a 5.75 in handle, a 4.125 in handle circumference and a 7.9 ± 0.2 oz average weight, with a 100% foam core built at 14 mm and a face of “T700 raw carbon fiber layup combined with fiberglass”. It notes how it measures: “Handle Length is measured from the very bottom to the top of the rubber band.” The same line’s other shapes list 5.5 in.

Pickleball Effect compared all four Waves shapes: “TFW 1 (Elongated + Long Handle) – Offers the most power and the longest handle in the lineup, but stability drops off side to side compared to the TFW 3.” It preferred the widebody and hybrid shapes and writes that the elongated TFW 1 and 3 “felt too sluggish once I added the weight needed to boost their stability.” Pickleball Studio, which tried weight setups on several Waves shapes, is more negative: “For me, the Waves was frustrating.”

Sold by CRBN Pickleball and shipped by Amazon. The Waves 1 is not in our other guides; CRBN’s Barrage 1 and Genesis 1 share its shape and are.

Specs (CRBN TruFoam Waves 1, Elongated w/ Long Handle, 14mm)

• Core: 14 mm, 100% foam (TruFoam) (CRBN)
• Weight: 7.9 ± 0.2 oz average (CRBN)
• Face: T700 raw carbon fiber with fiberglass (CRBN)
• Size: 7.35 x 16.5 in (CRBN)
• Handle: 5.75 in, measured to the top of the rubber band; 4.125 in circumference (CRBN)
• Approval: USA Pickleball list, “TRUFOAM 1 WAVES”, added 2025-05-06 (read 2026-10-25); CRBN also lists UPA-A

Vatic Pro V-Sol Pro V7 Long Handle, Long-Handle Foam V7

Evidence: Independently reviewed, same series. Pickleball Studio: V-Sol Pro; Pickleball Studio lists V7 LH specs but its on-court notes do not name the shape or handle.

Vatic Pro’s V-Sol Pro page sells each shape with a “Long Handle (5.6in)” or “Standard (5.3in)” option; the V7 comes in both. It lists a raw Toray T700 carbon fiber surface, a floating EPP core with an EVA perimeter foam ring, a 16 mm core, an 8.0 oz average weight and a 4.125 in grip circumference. The page gives no length or width; Vatic Pro’s Amazon listing gives the V7 as 16.5 x 7.5 in.

Pickleball Studio lists specs for the “V-sol Pro v7 LH” (static weight 7.98 oz, swing weight 114, handle 5.6 in) in a first-impressions piece, but its on-court notes do not say which shape or handle it played: “Out of the box, it is more playable than other foam paddles like the Quanta.” Its summary: “If you want something faster, poppier, and easier to pick up and play, the Pro is the better fit.” In an r/Pickleball thread on the long-handle V-Sol Pro, one owner of a long-handle version, shape not stated, wrote: “The biggest sweet spot I’ve ever experienced on an elongated paddle, comparable to the original Joola Gen3.” That owner had added weight at 3 and 9 o’clock.

The V7 with the standard handle is in our budget paddle guide; this is the long-handle version of the same paddle. Sold by Vatic Pro and shipped by Amazon.

Specs (Vatic Pro V-Sol Pro 16mm, V7 Long Handle)

• Core: 16 mm floating EPP core with EVA perimeter foam ring (Vatic Pro)
• Weight: 8.0 oz average (Vatic Pro)
• Face: raw Toray T700 carbon fiber, heat-compressed texturing (Vatic Pro)
• Size: not on Vatic Pro’s page; 16.5 x 7.5 in on Vatic Pro’s Amazon listing
• Handle: 5.6 in long-handle option; 4.125 in grip circumference (Vatic Pro)
• Approval: USA Pickleball list, “V-Sol Pro V7 LH 16mm”, added 2025-08-26 (read 2026-10-25)

Selkirk SLK Atlas XL, Control-Core XL Shape

Evidence: No independent test; maker specs. Source: Selkirk.

Selkirk’s Atlas XL page lists a 5.75 in handle length, 16.4 x 7.4 in, a 4.25 in grip circumference, a 7.6–8.1 oz weight range, a premium carbon fiber face with Raw Spin Technology and a 16 mm Rev-Control polymer honeycomb core. Selkirk describes the line as “for balanced pickleball players looking for a paddle that combines both control and spin” and the XL shape as “Extended Reach & Added Power”.

We found no independent test of the carbon Atlas XL: Pickleballogist’s review covers an earlier graphite Atlas with a 5.25 in grip, and Pickleball Effect’s Selkirk guide says of the Atlas line, “I haven’t played these”. The Amazon listing is shared by the Max and XL shapes, and its bullet gives a 4.85 in grip length, which is Selkirk’s Max figure; the variant we link is the XL. Sold by Selkirk Sport and shipped by Amazon.

Specs (Selkirk SLK Atlas, XL, Ember)

• Core: 16 mm Rev-Control polymer honeycomb (Selkirk)
• Weight: 7.6–8.1 oz range (Selkirk)
• Face: premium carbon fiber, Raw Spin Technology surface (Selkirk)
• Size: 16.4 x 7.4 in (Selkirk)
• Handle: 5.75 in; 4.25 in grip circumference (Selkirk); the shared Amazon listing gives 4.85 in, Selkirk’s Max figure
• Approval: USA Pickleball list, “Atlas XL”, added 2024-03-28 (read 2026-10-25)

GAMMA Obsidian 16, Control-Lean Elongated

Evidence: Independently reviewed, same series. Pickleheads: Obsidian 16 mm, August 2023.

GAMMA’s Obsidian 16 page lists a 5-3/4 in grip length, a 4-1/8 in grip size, 16-3/8 x 7-1/2 in, about 8.3 oz average, a 16 mm polymer honeycomb core and a Toray T700 raw carbon fiber face, with a molded-foam handle and variable end cap weights. It calls the paddle control-focused.

Pickleheads reviewed the Obsidian in August 2023: “GAMMA admit their 16 mm core paddle (the one I tested) is better for control than power.” They write that “The 5.75″ handle length is great for two-handed shots”, and under who should pass: “I found many dead zones around the edges and throat.” Their verdict: “You could certainly do worse—but I can’t recommend it over some competitors.” That review predates the “RCF Obsidian 16” entry on the USA Pickleball list (January 2024), so we could not confirm it covered the version sold now.

The buy box on this listing rotates between sellers. When we checked on 2026-10-25 at 14:22 UTC it was held by Gamma Sports, the brand’s own seller account; earlier that day it was held by Tennis Express, a third-party retailer.

Specs (GAMMA Obsidian 16)

• Core: 16 mm polymer honeycomb (GAMMA)
• Weight: about 8.3 oz average (GAMMA)
• Face: Toray T700 raw carbon fiber (GAMMA)
• Size: 16-3/8 x 7-1/2 in (GAMMA)
• Handle: 5-3/4 in grip length; 4-1/8 in grip size (GAMMA)
• Approval: USA Pickleball list, “RCF Obsidian 16”, added 2024-01-23, and “Obsidian 16”, added 2023-02-15 (read 2026-10-25)

11SIX24 Pegasus Power 2, UPA-A Widebody, HexGrit

Evidence: Independently reviewed, exact model. Pickleball Effect: Power 2 Pegasus.

11SIX24’s Pegasus Power 2 page lists a 5.75 in grip length, a 4.125 in grip circumference, 15.8 x 8.12 in, an 8.0–8.3 oz weight range, a HexGrit face, a Gen 4 floating core, a 105–110 swing weight and “Approval: UPA-A Certified”. The spec list on the page gives no thickness, but the “What are the Power 2 specs and weight?” FAQ on the same page reads “Thickness: 16mm” for the Power 2 line. The paddle was not on the USA Pickleball list when we searched on 2026-10-25. The list does hold “Pegasus Power 16mm” (added 2025-01-16), an earlier, differently named entry, not the Power 2.

Pickleball Effect writes: “The Pegasus is the widebody in the Power 2 series, 11SIX24’s take on a high-end power paddle that doesn’t wear out on you.” It adds: “The low swing weight and good stability make it easier to reset and win fast hand exchanges at the kitchen vs other shapes in the series.” and gives its pass case in full: “Pass if you’re chasing the absolute highest pop and firepower in the series (the Ultre and Hurache-X offer more pop), or if you need a USAP-legal paddle for sanctioned play, since the whole Power 2 line is UPA-A only.” It weighed its unit at 8.1 oz.

The Pegasus has its own Amazon listing; the Vapor and Hurache-X shapes of the Power 2 are in other guides of ours. Sold by 11SIX24 Pickleball and shipped by Amazon.

Specs (11SIX24 Pegasus Power 2, Teal)

• Core: 16 mm Gen 4 floating foam core (11SIX24 Power 2 FAQ)
• Weight: 8.0–8.3 oz range (11SIX24); 8.1 oz on Pickleball Effect’s unit
• Face: HexGrit (11SIX24)
• Size: 15.8 x 8.12 in (11SIX24)
• Handle: 5.75 in grip length; 4.125 in grip circumference (11SIX24)
• Approval: not on the USA Pickleball list (searched 2026-10-25); 11SIX24 lists “UPA-A Certified”

Reading a handle spec before you buy

Handle length and grip circumference are separate figures

Handle length is how long the handle is; grip circumference is how thick it is. Our eight makers list circumferences from 4-1/8 in to 4.25 in where they publish one, and Paddletek publishes none for the ESQ-C. Testers sometimes measure thicker or thinner than the maker (4.5 in on Pickleball Effect’s ESQ-C 14.3, 4 1/8 in on John Kew’s ERA). An overgrip adds thickness; our guide to replacement grips covers base grips.

What a longer handle trades away

Pickleball Union puts it plainly: “But that extra handle length usually comes from somewhere — often the paddle face.” Pickleheads found the same on the ESQ-C (“The shorter length and longer handle mean less hitting surface.”), and John Kew and Pickleball Effect describe the elongated ERA and Waves 1 as trading stability or quickness for reach. For how a paddle’s length and width figures are listed, see our guide to pickleball paddle size.

Weight figures are not comparable as printed

Makers give weight as an average (Selkirk ERA, CRBN, Vatic Pro, GAMMA), a range (Selkirk Atlas, 11SIX24) or a static weight (Paddletek), and Engage gives none for the Innovation. Read each as that maker’s own figure for that shape.

Check approval for your events

Seven of the eight have an entry on the USA Pickleball list as quoted in the table. The Engage entry states no thickness, and the GAMMA Obsidian has two entries. The 11SIX24 Pegasus Power 2 has none; 11SIX24 lists it as UPA-A certified. The list’s “Pegasus Power 16mm” (added 2025-01-16) is an earlier, differently named entry, not the Power 2. Search the list for your exact model and thickness before a sanctioned event.

Frequently Asked Questions

Makers publish it per shape, so check the maker’s page for the exact model. Among our picks, the makers list 6 in (Engage Pursuit Pro1 Innovation), 5.75 in (CRBN Waves 1, Selkirk Atlas XL, 11SIX24 Pegasus Power 2 and GAMMA Obsidian 16, which GAMMA writes as 5-3/4 in), 5.6 in (Selkirk ERA Power Widebody, Vatic Pro V-Sol Pro V7 Long Handle) and 5.5 in (Paddletek ESQ-C). Makers do not publish a common measuring method, so small differences between brands may not be real differences.

There is no single standard. The Dink writes that standard handle length “lands somewhere in the 5″ to 5.25″ range” and calls anything over 5.5 in extra long. Several of our makers sell the same paddle in two handle lengths, such as Vatic Pro’s 5.3 in standard and 5.6 in long handle.

Yes. Engage lists a 6 in grip length for the Pursuit Pro1 Innovation 12.7mm, and Pickleheads, which played it, describes “an extra-long 6″ handle”. The USA Pickleball list also has entries for Engage’s “Pursuit Pro1 6.0” models, which are not reviewed here.

They answer different needs. An elongated paddle is a longer, narrower face; a long handle is a longer grip, and it comes on widebody faces too (the ESQ-C, ERA Power Widebody and Pegasus Power 2 here). Testers in this guide describe the trade the same way: John Kew finds the elongated ERA has more reach and the widebody quicker hands, and Pickleball Effect prefers the wider Waves shapes for forgiveness. For elongated faces, see our elongated paddle guide.

That is a matter of hand size and feel, and makers list it as grip circumference. Our picks’ makers list 4-1/8 in to 4.25 in; check the figure for the shape you buy, and add an overgrip if you want it thicker.

On 2026-10-25 the USA Pickleball list showed an entry for seven of the eight models, dated in the table. The 11SIX24 Pegasus Power 2 was not on it (the list’s “Pegasus Power 16mm”, added 2025-01-16, is an earlier entry, not the Power 2); 11SIX24 lists UPA-A certification, and Pickleball Effect notes the whole Power 2 line is UPA-A only.

This guide covers long-handle paddles. Our best pickleball paddles guide compares picks across every style.

The bottom line

Final Verdict

For a 6 in handle, the Engage Pursuit Pro1 Innovation 12.7mm (check price) carries a 6 in grip length and a Pickleheads test of the 12.7 mm that calls it a power paddle. For a long handle on a wide face, the Paddletek Bantam ESQ-C 14.3mm (check price) (5.5 in, tested in this core by Pickleball Effect) and the Selkirk SLK ERA Power Widebody (check price) (5.6 in, played by John Kew and Pickleball Effect) are the two USA Pickleball-listed widebodies; the 11SIX24 Power 2, Pegasus (check price) adds a 5.75 in grip on a widebody but is UPA-A, not on the USA Pickleball list. For a foam core, the CRBN TruFoam Waves 1 (check price) lists 5.75 in with a tester split, and the Vatic Pro V-Sol Pro V7 Long Handle (check price) lists 5.6 in at a lower tier. The Selkirk SLK Atlas XL (check price) (5.75 in) and GAMMA Obsidian 16 (check price) (5-3/4 in) are the control-leaning picks, the Atlas on Selkirk’s specs alone and the Obsidian with a mixed 2023 review.

Whichever you choose, read the handle figure on the maker’s page for the shape you buy, and check the approved list for your exact model before a sanctioned event.
