Foam-Core Paddle Durability & Grit Retention

Hands-on reviews and comparisons continue to show differences in foam-core feel, pop, grit, and spin retention, but no new independent durability evidence appeared. Coral 16mm and M3 Ares advertise foam-based durability advantages, while RPM Q2 adds another molded-EPP design to the testing queue; all require pre/post play or abrasion testing.
