Pickleheads put a lot of paddles through the wringer in 2025 — and one stood out above the rest. In their review roundup, the Bread & Butter Loco emerged as Pickleheads’ clear Paddle of the Year for 2025.
What makes the Loco special, according to the article? Pickleheads calls it a killer all-court option: it delivers true power when you need it, generates exceptional spin, and — crucially — stays controllable in fast exchanges. That balance of pop, bite, and reliability is the core of the Loco’s appeal.
The review tone is emphatic: this isn’t a marginal upgrade or a one-trick paddle. Pickleheads tested “every big new paddle on the market,” and the Loco is singled out as something “else entirely.” For players hunting a single paddle that can drive rallies, add spin, and still feel manageable at the net, the Loco is presented as a top pick for 2025.
If you follow new releases and gear testing, Pickleheads’ recommendation makes the Bread & Butter Loco a paddle to notice. Whether you prioritize power, spin, or all-around playability, the review suggests the Loco delivers an unusually strong combination of those traits.
